AL requested it, the board approved it...

thats how it goes...

I do tend to agree, though, that it is a bit frustrating that in a division with lots of decent fighters a British shot goes straight to a guy who is more suited to the weight below.

I think I should get the chance before him so I would say my next opponent should be you! I think I would be a better fight better than the knocking job mcdermott will be coming for a payday!

Me an tony are good friends so we won't box eachother as you already now so bringing that up childish! As for wot I was saying about tony bellew well I'll be honest I had just won my first title an I thought it was I bit disrespectfull saying to steve make the fight when I hadn't even stopped Swetty an I now I mad a childish reply but sadly been celebrating drinking silly!

As for opponents like I've stated I will fight anyone I. The devision hopfully groves or Anderson or even you not bothered

Maybe the fact that you're not bothered is why you're not getting the fights?
McDermott would beat you! All day, in my opinion. He's better schooled, sharper, is a better boxer, hits harder, boxed better opponents, has less faults and is more experienced. Also has had more title fights than you and holds a title.
Like I said, your wins at light-heavy are certainly nothing to phone home about and you've had one fight at 12stone which you lost!

Also, you ask why I'm hostile after making a thread addressed to all the super-middleweights in the country

I should have ignored the thread but you go on as if you're hard done by! You don't deserve a fight for the British title. There's about 6 people more deserving - Magee, Quigley, Groves, Degale, David and Anderson. Even Mendy won the prizefighter
It is childish coming on an internet forum screaming for fights when you have a make-able fight there in Quigley.
I'm being more childish in replying so I'm done. Good luck in finding an opponent

To be honest, it's the promoters who make the fights anyway, so really threads like this are just discussion.

Smith v Dilks...
...this being used to hype the fight?

Carl, even if Tony is your friend would you not fight him if it was your only route? Business is business and all of that.

You've had one fight at 12stone, a loss, to a really poor Charles Adamu who would have been beaten by anyone in the current top 10 in my opinion and your light-heavyweight results are hardly eye opening. Your best win is Bob Ajisafe and you lost to Darren Stubbs. You wouldn't fight Bellew when the chance arose, remember that? Just chose to do what you do best - Have a go at him on the internet going on about the 13th round or whatever that is

Why don't you fight Quigley? Same manager, easy to make, no money issues, Scousers, eliminator. Why not? Quigley is rated above you and you'd take his place for the final eliminator. It would be your first top 15 opponent at 12 stone.

I was curious to know who you thought should be your next opponent but after reading your last reply, I don't wanna know now!

My opinion is you should be fighting someone like Steve Maguire. In my honest opinion you're not ready for the likes of Dodson or Quigley, they have too much for you.

I usually wouldn't reply but the thread is addressed to me and others.

totally agree with this.

i dont know who you think you are to call these fighters out.

the reason some of them wouldnt be interested in a fight with you is because you bring absolutely nothing to the table!
as much as id like to see the likes of smigga and the other top 5 ranked opponents woop you. what is in it for them? your a very very average fighter, so why the hell come on here mouthing off, its pathetic. if you were an unbeaten fighter beating every one in style and people were avoiding you, id say fair play he has a rite to have a go at people, but you wouldnt beat any decent fighter at s.m or at l.h, and i honestly believe 9 out the top 10 would beat you comfortably, the other 1 is you so it can only be 9.

as smigga said before your all talk, you spoke about bellew a while back then when bellew gladly accepted the challenge you turn round and say well im not really a l, heavy but yet at the time you had over 80% of your fights at that weight. you talk the talk but you certainly cant back it up, you wouldnt give any scouser around your weight a fight, even selkirk who is a couple of weights bellow would snooze you, so in future think before you speak mate, people who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones.

carl why dont you get it on with dodson at light heavy hes been around super middleweight long enough test the waters against him then. because any in the top 7 without you would have you out of there with in 6 rounds.

Smigga wrote:You don't deserve a fight for the British title. There's about 6 people more deserving - Magee, Quigley, Groves, Degale, David and Anderson. Even Mendy won the prizefighter

So why are you taking another step back in your career by fighting McDermott and not one of these. George Groves has called you out severall times and you clearly have no intrest in that fight. He brings way more to the table than McDermott, it would be an exciting fight and boxing fans would love to see it. Infact the only people who would rather see Paul Smith vs Darren McDermott ahead of the Groves fight are youself and your promoter.

Good luck with your career but your taking another step back fighting a guy Barker took apart in 4 rounds. Groves would be a much better fight, he wants it but you don't.

Righthook wot are you in about u wopper if all these lads could snooze me your words an am that bad why have every fighter I'm on about even the managment of your beloved Liverpool lads been intouch to arrange fights with me fact! Which I accepted even thow the money was shit fact! Then I hear nothing more about the fights! Get your nose out of everyone else arse in Liverpool just because I will open my mouth an call people out! I'm ranked in the top ten fact! I deserve a shot not going to let people like u but me down you obviouly now the other liverpool lads your takeing your jealousy out on me because you couldn't make it dnt worry sunshine I'll look forward to your insulting reply but either way these fights will happen for me no matter of your one sided views

I fight tony no problem but I'm a supermiddle so it's that weight I would like the fight at! Your opinion about people having me out of there in six rds be happy to prove you wrong

have you not heard from Groves team recently. were you not promised that fight?

I dont think he's mouthing off at all, he's merely putting himself out there to fight whoever comes along. Nothing wrong with that at all. He's hardly slagging individuals off left right and centre or banging on about individuals records so good luck to him.

Dilksy - Hope you get to fight whoever you want to fight and get the win. Why wouldnt you? great team, gym, and trainer, and improving every fight so go for it I say. Keep your dignity and dont resort to the sniping and bitching although it must be tempting!!!.

It's good to call people out and your not being insulting about it or pinpointing anyone.. Fair play, but do be realistic in your match ups if the offers come your way.

first of all, every single liverpool fighter would destroy you, (fact) even selkirk who is weights below would have you out there in 4 rounds, you get fu####d in sparring all the time, iv seen you spar against southerland on you tube and its fu####g embarrassing,

iv already said to you before, the reason these lads wont fight you is because your a no one, what is in it for them i mean seriously what do you have to offer, the answer is fu## all. youv never achieved nothing and il bet you never do, youl be a decent journey man,

do you honestly believe you would last 6 rounds with the likes of smigga, groves, degale, or even 2 rounds with the likes of bellew????? like i say your all talk even if you got a fight with these guys you would probably just 5hit out the same way you did with bellew when you said you would fight him, then when he took you up on your offer you 5hit your self then made up the worst excuse iv ever heard saying your not really a l. heavy but you fought over 80% of your fights at that weight at the time. you even entered prize fighter at that weight, so why call people out, iv got to say tho it was a wise decision coz bellew would wipe the floor with you in 1-2 rounds (fact) the same way some1 like smigga would woop you without getting out of first gear.

stop thinking your something your not, no 1 who knows something about liverpool boxing is fooled by your mouth, not 1 liverpool fighter would rate you as even half decent (fact) just ask some1 like smigga what he thinks of you.

he is still a better opponent than McDermott.

Dilks, were you asked to do Prizefighter?

no he's not IMO, we still don't know if that is smiths next opponent yet but if it is he is a better fighter than dilks,

I would love to see smith dilks in the echo arena another all scouse affair, but seriously what has dilks done to deserve a chance, I'm not saying mcdermott has done anything, but niether has dilks,

Righthook thats a bit strong mate,Give the lad a bit respect

robpalmer135 wrote:

Really?
Not that the McDermott fight is not made, but in my opinion, McDermott beats Dilks all day.
Stronger, hits harder, sharper, faster, far better boxer, better schooled, more heart, a lot less faults, fought better opposition, more title fights and actually holds a title.

It's hard not to make this personal but I feel the whole thread is a goading ploy so I have replied accordingly.
In my opinion Dilks is very average and always have been. And remember I have boxed all the way through the amateurs with Carl and been on trips, so I know what I am talking about. He will be found out once he fights someone half decent.
I would pick anyone in the current top 13 boxrec rankings to beat him.

I don't know righthook but his one point about bringing nothing to the table is true. Plus he isn't a ticket seller in Liverpool and would struggle to sell out Everton Park which holds 1,100.

Think this thread has run it corse its getting personal now lads

bigdaddy wrote:Think this thread has run it corse its getting personal now lads

I agree, but it was only ever going to get personal with a title like this. Dilks knows I use this site, along with other super-middles

im not trying to make this personal, but to start a post saying to all middle weights i mean come on. get real

like i said if he was a big prospect who people were avoiding then fair enough, but he is far from this, smigga has a rite to reply because in a way it is directed to him, carl should work his way up the ladder and do it the same way every other fighter has had to. to me it is very immature to come on here and call all the s. middle weight fighters out, is it not?

i do not rate dilks as he has never fought any1 worth talking about and any1 who he has fought half decent he has strugled with and had wars with, thats not some1 who should be disrespecting other fighters saying why wont they fight me.

i hope carl proves me wrong and goes on to win titles but i very much doubt he will.

Mate your untitled to your opinion that's wot u think fair enough I carnt ease everyone! The thread wasn't directly aimed at Paul althow I would lime the fight it was aimed at everyone I've been offered fight and accepted everytime but nothing to materilise as for mcdermott I dnt think this fight will happen anyway smoke an mirrors but I'd gladly smash him to bits for the title! An as for making my way up the ladder this is wot this thread is all about I'll fight anyone in the division anybody! I understand wot u are saying Paul about bringing nothing to the table but u say mcdermott brings a title but at which weight? If I was such an easy fight why not prove that I carnt hit an a rubbish fighter have no heart for one u won't because I'm such a bad fighter an it will be a backward step but someone moving up in weight coming off a knockout isn't!

Not much to say on this other then Right hook your posts are very, very harsh- all fighters deserve respect.

Nothing wrong with what Dilks is asking for. His performance in Prizefighter was very good and he was very unfortunate. He's coming off a KO win and was also very unfortunate against Adamu- I don't blame him for wanting to get a title shot or a meaningful fight.

I'm interested as to why you've reacted this way Right Hook- you don't know Paul Smith, your not linked to any of the fighters he's 'challenged' so why the anger?? Citing a 15 second clip of him sparring for example is hardly going to give you an accurate indication of his ability.

Personally I think Smith, Anderson and Groves will have to much for Carl but it can be argued he's just as deserving a challenger as Darren who has had no fights at the weight. Granted Darren is slightly more impressive to watch.

Its a good thread but no need for bitchy insults from fans- Paul Smith is an articulate bloke and can fight his own battles- as he has done numerous times on here.

Lads call it a day now this is going no where
