    Delighted for Paul Smith, seems like a genuinley nice bloke but what a friggin embarassment for the Sport of boxing. Isn't Andre supposed to be on the P4P list? :patsch

    Here's what's gonna happen.

    Mayweather beats Pac and both retire leaving Ward as number one P for P.

    Smigga fights Ward and the fight follows the scene of a Rocky fight were he struggles at first but goes on to knock Ward out in the last round and becomes the number P for P fighter on the planet.

    Froch gets jealous so challenges him so they have a fight at Wembley and Froch gets sparked out cold in 2 rounds.

    Groves starts talking **** whilst Smigga is being interviewed so Smigga nuts him and is banned from fighting in the UK by the BBBC.

    Smigga then sets up shop in Vegas and has a string of wins against GGG, Kovalev and Stevenson in a series of MGM Grand super fights as Hagler and Leonard run errands for him post fight like going to the chippy and getting special brew from the "offy".

    Smigga gets inducted into the HOF as the GOAT.

    With all the success things take a turn for the worse as Smigga is caught using scouse tricks of pinching car stereos so he's deported back to the UK where he replaces Adam Smith as head of Sky Boxing.

    Seriously though, of course he's gotta take this fight - what's the point in taking up boxing if you're not gonna accept fights against top P for P fighters???

    So you're saying that Mayweather's antics, youtube vids of cash and bling, and all that stuff do not add to his persona? Ditto for Broner. He's a bit of a tool but his schtick makes people watch, even if only to see him get chinned.
    Ward is boring in the ring and out = not an exciting fighter, and no personality to compensate for his cardboard cutout character.
    Yes, personality does come into it, ask Ali about his charm used to sell fights, ask Broner why he comes across so extreme, and so on. It's relevant.

    This has to be a ridiculously late April fools joke?

    Paul Smith is domestic class and isn't even the best SMW in his own family.

    On what basis do you say that? Smith was wiped out by Groves and DeGale and was wobbled a number of times by Abraham.

    Ward does not carry great power thats why, AA is a bigger puncg Smith had 24 rounds with, pretty basic stuff. And am guessing Ward will want as many rounds as possible thats why he picked Smith!

    Similar to Conor McGregor in UFC he getting paid something like 7 million for his next fight with Aldo and hes only had 5 UFC fights because he has that personallity were people tune in to see him get knocked out or vicr versa .

    Tune up fight for Ward - obviously its a big mismatch but they happen all the time, it just so happens its the Brit in the other corner this time.

    Imagine Froch if Smith had the real version of his belt, I'm a fan of Carl but it'd be hilarious:)

    I agree with Solaris for a change..Ward will absolutely brutalise him. Smith will be stopped in 10 rounds max
