again you know nothing about boxing ! At middleweight Macklin and Barker have moved up, what's left ? To fight the winner of Murray and Blackwell, very winable for Smith with all his experience, who else is out there at Middleweight ? Super mid was always to big for Smith, Mid will suit him better, maybe he could win the British Title and then get a Euro shot, but going nowhere, I don't think so.
By time he is back in contention and can make the 160 limit, billy joe saunders will be approaching British title level. Then old Fish Eyes will throw Smith in with saunders to get slaughtered. Frank has realised Smith's level.
Domestic level at best. He has fought nobody to date. You can argue DeGale was the classiest opponent he has fought. Other than that people were talking about a title shot for him after he beat a blown up light middle in Quigley & a poor Dodson which was a joke.
Apart from his fight with Bendall Smith has always looked impressive at middle imo - but time will tell !!
Smith has always been a middle weight who went searching for opportunities at SMw and won a British title! Not too bad IMO. Obviously he gives himself a lot more advantages at mw, such as speed and power. Stylistically at smw he fought two guts who knew the best way to stop smith or partially nullify him was to smother his work inside. Degale kept him on the end of a good jab, who also had good lateral movement and was naturally bigger and a natural smw. Smiths kos come at middle generally. The critics come out and knock a guy who only wants to achieve. I think people should at least respect the desire to come back from a one sided loss against a man who had all the advantages.

I agree. I think he could be a light middleweight. Paul really had the potential to be world class he just never applied himself right. The trainers on the Contendor agree with this. He hates the training and dieting I eat in his families cafe on county road. Seen him a few times before fights and he was always moaning about his diet and training is well as cheating on his diet (seen him having a fry up and other shite a few time) Good Guys Him, his brothers and Father. Dont know where people get it from when they say hes arrogant (though he acts a dick sometimes before fight though i think thats to sell tickets)
