This is ridiculous. Chris can fight his own battles. If not then a change in what he says about others is needed, or a career change.

A few fans felt that Kenny Rock was not a celebrity to be involved in a celebrity boxing match.
Another user mentioned that Rock was not relevant enough for the bout to be called a celebrity match.
In order for it to be a celebrity match wouldn't chris rock's brother need to be relevant?

Similarly, another fan also mentioned that Smith would be the only celebrity in the match. A lot of fans were also quick to point out that Smith had previously trained in boxing and that he would easily defeat Rock in the ring.
A fan mentioned that he has never seen Rock fight, but Smith has portrayed Muhammad Ali.
Never seen Kenny fight but Will portrayed Ali so leaning towards Smitty. Why ya think he knocked the living crap outta Chris??? That slap was more like an Ali knockout punch… #wednesdaythought

Another fan felt that people are quick to underestimate Smith’s physical prowess.
Why everybody feel like they can physically beat Will Smith – as if he didn’t train for physically fit – high intense physical active movie roles his entire career ? #scratcheshead – I guess it sounds good
