Paul Smith:I believe I can join Barker/Murray/Macklin at World MW Level

At the Commonwealth Games 2002; Smith was a lightmiddle (silver medal), and Barker a lightwelter (gold medal). I think both were 18 and Smith turned over quite soon after the games so would have been unlikely they would have fought as seniors. Possibly when they were younger though don't think so

 

maybe in another life this could be true, but not in this world ,cred to smith for thinking positive though

 

I dont know how you can say Paul Smith is technically poor though his skillset is good i think its more a question of his fitness and being very small in the weight catagory he fights in.
