Comments Thread For: Paul Smith Very Motivated To Snatch WBA Belt From Tyron Zeuge

PAUL SMITH has wanted to be world champion since he was six and realised he wasn't good enough to play for his beloved Liverpool. That is why the super middleweight Scouser won't throw in the towel on his dream to win a world title as he prepares to face WBA regular' champion Tyron Zeuge in Germany on June 17. Smith, 34, has been a professional since 2003 and has 44 fights on his record with six defeats.

I like Paul Smith but since losing to Ward he has fought three mismatched 6 rounders against journeymen and all of them above 168 lbs so I don't see how he deserves a "world title" shot without fighting a 10 or 12 round eliminator against a ranked fighter. Unless he held a top 15 ranking simply by being active then I suppose it could be passed off as a voluntary title defence. Here's the title list if you are a World Champion: -WBA Super -WBC -IBF -WBO and then the paper world champs -WBA Regular -IBO The UK could hold 5 out of 6 of these belts if Paul Smith wins the WBA regular and his brother Callum Smith wins the WBC in their next fights. If that happens with Groves WBA Super, Degale IBF and Eubank IBO that would be a great achievement for British Boxing. Best Country in the World for Boxing. Come on the Smith brothers bring back the belts! It can be very hard for boxers to get chances and opportunity's for titles so I won't be criticising Smith for taking this shot, Eddie Hearn is delivering for his fighters. If he wins then Groves or Eubank is a viable big money fight for him next. Go on lad you can do it !

This could add to Ward's resume if Smith wins. Smith would become a world champion. :lol1: :lol1: I'm a Ward fan but I'd be embarrassed to even claim that as a plus on his resume.

Four major sanctioning bodies. One of them with both a "super champion" and a "regular champion." That's what allows Tyron Zeuge to hold a belt and Paul Smith to challenge for it. :nonono:

The WBA "regular" title is ridiculous but I hope he wins it. He would forever be known as the former world champion so good luck to him.

Am I a casual because I don't know Tyron Zeuge? I literally know nothing about him.
