Smith has always been a fan on AP.. but ppl put out the sound bytes and then the ppl fall for it.. smith has said that he’s beatable and has analyzed his greatest strengths and weaknesses. He’s never said to at he was weak or etc. he’s also said he can beat him bc they’re in the same division, if you don’t believe you can win in any match up, you don’t belong in any competitive sport! It’s crazy how he’s said he’s a fan of his style but y’all carry on with what y’all want and create a bunch of misguided followers.
