    Yeah but Bailey is a lot smaller than Smith.
    He should have kept bus after the impresive fight with Wolak.
    He should be more busy,he has the talen to win a title but......I don't think so.

    His style is one that dictates and lends itself to a lot of bad decision losses.

    Manfredo fought Calzaghe, Gomez fought Cotto.

    Ishe hasn't fought anyone near that good yet. He even dropped a decision to Joel Julio.

    I like Ishe but his style is not going to lure a lot of fighters into the ring or a lot of TV viewers. He's pretty solid technically, especially from a defensive standpoint, but needs to let his hands go more.

    No.

    He's a good gatekeeper level fighter with some skills though.

    He could turn out to be a Jesser James Leija type of fighter in that if you want to win a title, you have to go through him.

    Of course. Like I said I think he could turn out to be that sort of fighter. A very good gatekeeper level fighter. But no more.
