    He looks slick vs mindless thugs like JR but let's be honest he isn't in the same league as a Canelo or C.Smith. He's a grifter and the false controversies over his statements in the past have only preserved his "legacy". Fight fans are catching on to the grifters and honestly it's spelling disaster for BJS unless he makes a serious statement in the next 12 months.

    After the Ryder fight then you may have a point, still doesn’t excuse the P4P superstar giving smith 4 weeks to prepare, who does that haha. In fact it’s down right embarrassing.

    Let’s see if he calls out Andre if he’s serious about 168? If not and he’s interested in 175 after beating Kov, then surely he’s gonna call out Bertebiev??

    Or will he fight a 43 year old Pac as a ‘fight for the ages’

    Don’t p*as on my shoes an tell me it’s raining. He’s done nothing outstanding other than **** hot and drain men

    Smith admitted after the fight he has outgrown the weight.

    Yes we agree. I have been saying it since about 4 fights ago atleast now.

    When he came up against an elite fighter he paid for that with a vicious beating and an L.

    Credit to him for the chin and heart he showed in there. But he did look weak in the second half of the fight, and didn’t throw enough combinations to make Canelo think twice about walking forward.

    Smith is never going to be an elite fighter himself at any weight division. But moving up to 175 is necessary now for him to get the best level of performance from himself.

    Always said I thought Smith was overrated based on the Groves win, a groves that came back too soon after a potentially career ending injury. Was never sold on smith either before or after that fight.

    PED cheat or not, Canelo is good. But Smith probably flattered him. Cash out for me.

    Smith will be wishing he was back in with Canelo if he fights the top guys at light heavy.

    BJS has already wasted his talent and is now post prime without securing a mega fight. Or. Mega pay day.

    I am certain he has ducked the GGG fight as he has admitted as much on IFL.

    As far as the Canelo fight goes he wasn’t prepared to take it at short notice because he knows in his heart, that he would be busted up.

    Where does he from here? Fight a few more warm up fights, I guess.

    He's a gypsy grifter. It's not uncommon. He's selling fight fans a bunch of lies and empty promises. Typical of protected gypsy fighters really.

    Light Heavy is a division he should skip. It's the best division in boxing at the minute. He should go to cruiserweight. He's taller than Ali was at heavyweight ffs.

    Plank Smith done well to last the distance but yet badly exposed at elite level as predicted.

    @lencoreastside seen Smith was very limited years ago and I only seen it when he fought Ryder - pudding after pudding served up by Eh Day.

    His CV is worse than Tony Dosh PPV and another non elite World Champion thrown to the lions by Eh Day Hearn.

    Hopefully now people see through Eh Day Earn and all his bull when selling stadium fights and pay per puddings.

    All Ed cares about these days is pay per puddings and his DAZN masters.
