    In 1997 the British Super Middleweight division was bursting with talent we had Calzaghe and Reid as undefeated world champs, & Woodhall soon to be a champ after Reid,
    but our domestic front was good also with H Warton, D Starie, D Francis, C Woods and M Baker all somewhere around the British title level. The question is removing Calzaghe, Reid & Woodhall how do you think P Smith would have faired in this era at domestic level?
    I think he would have lost to all, except to maybe Woods due to him being tight at the weight before his career really took off at LHW, and maybe to M Baker, but I wouldnt bet on it with either
    What you think?

    He would get battered, below Froch and Magee the Super-middleweight division is desperate in Britain.

    Lets hope Degale and Groves live up to the hype.

    No mention of Glen Catley...:think Everyone knows he beat Woodhall including Woodhall....:yep

    I think he would have not beat any of them and the nearest he would have come to getting a result would have been against Starie who could make anyone look bad...:barf

    Imagine Smith v Henry Wharton... He would have got eaten up...:blurp

    you know the film Scum and the little guy who commits suicide at the end after beign raped thats Smith.

    Nah, I think its unfair to judge him just yet. He definitly has talent

    Just wanted to slip it in. Pretty gruesome scene actually. Tough viewing especially as the guy looked like my mate

    He certainly got a bit emotional during the **** scene. However, he didn't look like he had much talent for that type of work.:verysad

    The suicide scene was very good acting. Really convincing. He slits his wrists then is like 'What the **** have I done' and really doesnt want to die.
