I don't even care that he'd fighting Ward. This is just about him being back in the ring. After this he can get some quality fights at 168 or decide to move up.

Wow... Paul Smith? Really? He's not even a top domestic fighter at his weight class?
This guy truly is a joke. A clown.
Grow some balls and call out guys at 175. Hahah can you imagine Ward ever fighting Beterbiev? I can't either... Can't even see him fighting Fonfara.

For not being able to draw flies to shyte, he's in a remarkable position.
His people got him in S6 tournamet, and then got him contract with HBO, getting him 2 million for The Rodriguez's of the world.
And then you want to talk about Ward getting 2million for fighting Rodriguez. Your boy Chavez got 4.2 for a fight he was supposed to win.

Thirdly, the lawsuits he took up to get out of his promotional contract were frivalous and shouldve been given better advice before taking them.

Damned if you do damned if you dont i guess . People ***** about fighting scrubs and then laugh about getting beat by a top 10 in the division. How exactly was fonfara a cherry pick? Kid is big strong and in his prime no body to be taken lightly. Chavez couldve easy taken a fight with Glen frikin johnson and got a feel for light heavy. But no dude went balls deep and it didnt work. But thats how you get recognition and respect. Unlike ward who is full of excuses to not gight a top contender in years and wont step out of his comfort zone for anything

He's a 168lb fighter. He didn't even really "clean out" 168 and the landscape has changed since then. There are some fights I'd like to see him in at 168 before he moves up in weight.
