Does anybody else really, really hate Joe Smith Jr.?

[Mammoth]

I don't think he's very good and I hate seeing a guy like this put together a good string of wins.

[BigZ44]

Seems like an odd thing to be mad about. Dude has over-achieved cong**** to him. He caught Fonfara early with a big shot and beat an old washed up Hopkins. Either he will continue to win and prove he is a legitimate top level fighter or he will be found out sooner than later. In time the truth about a fighter is always revealed, just seems weird to hate the guy for some good fortune. Anyways, I'm guessing you will be happy with the result after tonight

I'm surprised at the number of people who think he might actually be any good, cos it's plain as day that he isn't, but 'really hate' him?

Nah.

That'd be silly. Why would you hate a guy you never even met? Dude will lose soon enough.

yeh if he gets a few more quality wins he will be one of the most hated guys in boxing, just like golovkin is. guys like smith and golovkin will always attract vicious hatred from a large section of the boxing community.

You should never try to bring a man down until after he has actually fallen. Until proven otherwise he can be considered a good fighter and legend killer. If he takes a decent beatdown then we can talk about the reasons why.

Smith is a true American and a man of honor. Not like those Europeans that say one thing then do another

[Eff Pandas]

How the eff you hate the working class man?

For me personally I love seeing guys like him win. Joe Smith Jr & Julious Indongo are probably my two favorite guys to root for right now in boxing. Both are ready, willing & able to fight whoever, wherever & can fight well enough to come out on top vs those guys. I'm rooting on Joe winning tonight & Indongo winning next month. And sh^t win or lose in their next fight I'll be rooting for both those guys in the foreseeable future I'd thinking.

Why is it you really, really hate him? You didnt explain that part at all. Did he **** or kill a family member? It takes a lot more than someone being a boxer to get me to really really hate them. If you want to hate someone, the only fighter in boxing that truly deserves to be hated....well, two boxers that fit the hate criteria, is the scum bag Paul Spadfafora and a man who tormented and ****d women and underage girls, Adonis Stevenson. They are worthy of sheer unbridled hate for what they have done to others.
