His common name only added to the suggestion that his career was destined for anonymity and in fact was regarded as the opponent a live dog, but the "B" side, nevertheless in a crossroads bout with fringe contender Will Rosinsky last December at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

I agree. Smith isnt a pushover either..not elite but no soft touch

[PunchyPotorff]

Obviously BHop is the favorite, and I for one would like to see him go out of his legendary career with a win... but wouldn't it be funny if Joe KOs him? I mean, there's hardly any video of Smith fighting... unless you count the crappy hand held videos. BHop just may not be as prepared as he thinks he is. Thin chance, but still could happen.

One thing we do know - Smith has been stopped before, so we know he can be KO'd. IJS.....

I wonder if Smith can pull of the career ending KO Hopkins needs to justify his retirement.
