Comments Thread For: Joe Smith: Hopefully, After The Johnson Fight, I Could Get Beterbiev

[Bob Haymon]

Wasn't Smith trying to get a fight with Jacobs? I'm guessing Top Rank wasn't willing to overpay Jacobs the way Matchroom is and that's why it didn't get made.

Smith vs Beterbiev is a barn burner, with potentially the "round of the year" award. Would still rather see Beterviev vs Bivol.

I think most would. I know I do. But Smith and Beterbiev would be fine if the Bivol fight has to wait. A lot of fun to be had in that rumble as a boxing fan.

I'm not sure you beat Johnson TBH. Fighters in their return fight after Covid have been upset like crazy this year, and Johnson can crack.

This could be true. But I think Joe Smith will fight anyone at the weight class.

Joe Smith will probably fight anyone period. Never will his name and ducking be uttered in the same sentence.

Big fan of joe smith I’m rooting for him and he’s beat some pretty stiff competition.

Dude is humble too. Has his own landscaping business and works like a regular worker.

Probably made enough $ to walk away and be set for life. Gotta respect that.

I hope Smith beats Johnson convincingly and challenges Beterbiev

This fight would be the next big thing, if we can't get Beterbiev-Bivol

We need more champs like Joe, champs actually trying to fight other champs and unify their divisions.

Canelo and Usyk shouldn't be the only ones doing it

[The Old LefHook]

Even if a champ does unify, the A, B, Cs start stripping right away to drum up more sanctioning fees.

Man this dude had the opportunity to fight beterbiev, but played games, We all know Yarde is next
