Why does Paul smith get such a rough time on here?

[Lenny]

I am sure Smith has huge regrets about the weight issue. He is a very professional guy, and I am sure that no one will be more embarrassed than he is. I have a lot of time for him, both as a boxer and a pundit. Speaks well, and boxes for his family. Top bloke imo.

loves his nan

eddie hearn and paul smith both saying it was down to water retention.

do they not know the difference between water and fat?

They must think fans are blind. Water retention won't give you love handles.

It was a money job. Joe G didn't get there until Thursday and was back in Bolton gym Monday morning. They knew the score.

For me, I just don't think that Smith has been deserving of all the shots that he has been receiving. Factually speaking, he has not even won a title at European level, yet he is afforded multiple world title shots.

That's the way professional sports work, it's as much about the people who pull the strings as it is about those who throw the punches.

Burger King and M&S cheese cake play havoc with my 'water retention'

[nitro5912]

I must retain a lot of water then because I usually put 5lbs on wen I go on holiday.

[Bosh Dorigo]

Smith's had the 'water' problem since he lost to Steve Bendall and he was 'forced' to move up to 168lbs.

Its just a piss take boxers like Jamie Moore never got a world title shot despite all the hard fights and had some great wins, he fought everyone he could and deserved a shot, but Paul hasn't got any big wins yet has fought for a world title twice and fought a p4p star.

[Tommy Gunn13]

The bloke is an arsehole, i said to him on this very forum why he won't accept Groves challenge (whilst Smith was British Champ & Before Degale beat him) an that i thought Groves would beat him comfortably, he copped the arse & said he wasn't a worthy challenger..
He soon wanted the fight once he was the challenger, it made me happy when Groves beat him early..
Smith is ok if you agree with him, tosser if not IMO

Just the same as that other tubby Scouse mediocrity Bellew.

Yes exactly the same

[crusader]

When Bellew was coming up I thought he seemed fairly personable on here, but once he lost to Clev I think he became more Smith-like (though not as bad imo)

[palooka]

Smith like is the new insult.

'SMITH OF THE MONTH'

I like it

[Bosh Dorigo]

Thank you

My nomination for the first 'SMITH OF THE MONTH' is the eponymous SMITH who was the inspiration for this (soon to be) highly coveted award.

Though I do believe that Adrian Broner is worthy of consideration too.

I guess he will be on SKY on Friday giving us all the benefit of his knowledge, especially about water retention now
