Seriously has he beat a top 25? I don’t think so.
How many top 50 wins does he have? Zepeda?

Imagine being a headliner, mandatory for a world title and having never beat anyone good…

The insane thing is his world title shot is going to be against a guy that might not even be top 25… I mean he probably is, but I wouldent say he definatly is… fans think he lost to sandor (boxrec 31) and fans think he lost to akhemedov (boxrec 60)…

So smith COULD win the WBC belt headlining stadium fight at home having never even fought a genuine top 25 (in some opinions)…

Leaves his chin out after he throws and is still a huge work in progress for me.

It's laughable that they saying 'surely a title fight next"

He's fought literally nobody. 30 to 40 years ago you had to earn the shot by fighting hard fights again and again. Now the shots are given to novices who don't have any depth to them. Surely a title can't mean as much now as it did then?

Smith has talent but that was not a great performance last night and that bloke was a C level at best

Who decided to bring Adam Smith back on commentary? If we have to suffer his one sided nonsense we could have at least had a "There's the respect" . They didn't even have the decency to give us that

Germain was nothing more than a high-end survivor. At least Smith pulled out some lightening fast punches that dropped Germain, otherwise there would have been zero highlights.

The only positive I can think of is Smith got 12 rounds in the bank, wasn't even out of breath and won by a landslide.

I really hope Dalton is out again very soon against an opponent who comes to fight.

We've all seen talents go to waste but for pity's sake...don't let this happen with Dalton smith !

If Smith's team really want to get the British boxing fans buzzing about Dalton....get out the cheque book and make the fight with that bottle job Adam Azim next

The Mcguigans will furiously resist because they know Dalton will cream their guy, but an offer must be made that they simply can't refuse
