He koed a highly ranked proven good prime fighter in fonfara and the only person to ko the old legend in BHOP who kolv couldn't ko him himself
He had a great year IMO
On what planet?
Beating a guy who went life and death with nathan cleverly then ko'ing an almost 52 year old bernard hopkins who was getting hit with shots ray charles could see coming. Smith was winding up bolo shots, swinging from his hip, managing to connect on bhops grey whiskers. Bhops own punches were slow as fk but he still managed to connect with smith. We havent seen much of smith but i suspect he has weak defence.
No he shouldn't
Cool He has 2 upsets wins , he had a great year but this FOTY talk is bullsh.it
Fonfara is a top 10 guy that's it,never won a strap & B-hops 52 years old who hadn't fought in 2 years
Frampton beat Quigg , a undefeated champion in a huge domestic fight who's was his rival and after that took LSC a 3 division champs zero
Ward beat a top 10 guy in Barrera and beat a Top 5 p4p fighter in KOv
Pac fights in probably the deepest division and beat 2 too 10 guys at a age he should be considering retirement
But let's give it to Joe Smith because he KOd a senior citizen and a top 10 guy, that seems legit
