    War Callum. Some of us told you and you wouldn’t listen.

    The division is appalling, but does that mean it doesn't deserve a number 1?

    Usyk is amazing, I won't be surprised if he beats Joshua tbh, I'll deffo back that result anyways.

    Saying that I'll also be routing for Bellew to beat him just because of how ludicrous it would be.

    And I love Bellew's tactic in the post fight interview "he's better than me, he's greater than me, but he couldn't beat me" it's so falsely humble I love it.

    Some of us tell us a results before every fight. It always goes one of two ways

    Either the man you pick wins, or he doesn't

    Groves chin betrays him once again. If a heavy hitter lands clean its party over for him
    Just like Froch 2
    Just like tonight. One big left hook is all it took to scramble his brains
    Whereas GGG Canelo took big shots all night long
    Iron vs Glass

    Call me whatever you want but I feel calling Groves a glass chin is cruel based on this fight.
    Come on, Smith was HUGE. It was obvious since round 2 it would be a survival match for Groves.

    I mean yeah fair play as of this moment he's the clear #1, but he only had to knock off what to get there? Skoglund, Hielzken and then a ragged version of Groves?

    I'm unimpressed, and don't think Mundo will be hard to knock off his perch even for the middling crop of SMWs already in contention (Uzcategui would've dusted either man in there IMO) ...let alone if some actual quality prospect emerges from the woodwork.

    Bellew upsetting him would be pure insanity of exactly the sort the chaos-loving troll in me would get a chortle from, much as I do love Usyk. It'd have to be a perfect storm though, I'd wager. Usyk injured and/or inadequately prepared, jetlagged or something...and Bellew putting on the fight of his life and executing a perfect gameplan.

    Would I favour anybody from the super stacked, star studded 160 division to beat Smith?

    Absolutely not

    He would dish out beatings left and right tbh.

    Can't be that weak

    I'd also favour Smith to move up and beat most of the 175lbs champions believe dat.

    He would murder the aging pimp and that russian kid. That Eleider Alvarez would be a tougher fight but I'd give Smith more chance of beating him than a 160lber beating him.

    Smith would dominate Badou Quack too

    No, Jack would demolish Smith. (even though they're the same size, or if anything a size advantage for Callum)

    Alright, you crybabies, listen to me very closely. Let me see if I can clear a few things up.

    On occasion I can get too mean, gruff and far too emotionally charged and say some incendiary things, that might be a tad bit provocative to fans of certain fighters. Sometimes its rooted in sour grapes on my part, sometimes its rooted in reality, I say these things because that's how I truly feel at the moment, and usually do days and weeks afterward, its my opinion. Sometimes the opinion may be unpopular, oh well, it wouldn't be the first unpopular thing I believe, it is what it is. But your hyper emotional responses to my emotional responses are every bit as unhinged and childish as my initial outbursts. So what, I'm some douchebag on a Boxing site that doesn't agree with you, what difference does that make to you? Do you want my acceptance, do you want me to agree with you? Who cares what I think. What I say isn't going to change your minds or anyone else's. Yeah I write well and can express myself more succinctly than most, good for me, in the end its still just my opinion, which I'm entitled to hold, and nothing any of you are going to say is going to change that.

    Ultimately I strive to be fair and balanced in everything I do, I had a weak moment, because a guy that I genuinely like in @lufcrazy who seemingly has a compulsion to prod and poke me and others in moments of weakness, can't help himself, even after I asked him several times to stop quoting me. I had and have no intention of banning him long term, it was petty and childish of me, but unlike most, I can correct myself midstream and right the ship, because I can be almost instantaneously introspective, so the moment I go out of line, I try to get back in it. Which should be incredibly hard for a person like me, that's primarily governed by their emotions, but still... I managed to work out a system. I ****ed up, so I corrected it.

    As far as @Russell goes, its a pity, he's seemingly highly offended by everything I do lately, and has a go at me and several others that used to call him a friend, its a pity and sad, because I truly like him and never go out of my way to attack him, I may have lost my temper once or twice, but I also usually apologize even when on occasion I'm the one being wronged, because I try not to carry things around like that. I wish others were capable of the same. He also doesn't like me because he deems me a bully, maybe I am sometimes. But so he is, but unlike me, he doesn't realize that about himself. I hate it that he feels that way about me, because I do not feel the same. But, I guess nothing will change the disdain he feels towards me, not even an apology. But that won't keep me from giving one, I was out of line with the drinking comment, and apologize regardless, that was wrong.

    I got out of line today, so I apologize if anyone was offended by my actions, including to lufcrazy, I'll try to do better. No one is perfect, especially when you're commandeering a thread with half of it yapping at you barking insults at your opinions. I'll just have to do a far better job at blocking that out in the future.

    I'm absolutely sick and tired of being the center of attention on these RBR's, so I'll try to extricate myself from situations like that in the future and I'll take a backseat in some of the fights I'm more passionate about the outcome in. Its about the boxers, not idiotic overly bombastic loudmouthed posters like me.:thumbsup:

    All I'm reading and hearing is that Groves was slightly outboxing Smith but that Smith was....... big or huge or some ****. Right. Is this for real? Is size his only attribute? I hope he fights Uzcategui if thus is the case and gets his ass kicked.
