more because I can't really decide and one should err on the side of not making permanent decisions (such as deletion) lightly.  Yes, the article in its current form fails  for lack of citations of notability, but just a quick google search shows (on page 1) a http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9902EEDE1438F937A15751C1A964948260 New York Times profile on him and an article on his most memorable event from http://www.ringsidereport.com/Smith452005.htm a reputable boxing news website.  Keep in mind  states "The person made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field." as a valid criteria.  It seems from a quick glance that he had at least one particularly notable effect on the sport of boxing, distinguishing him in his field. Article needs more citations, but I say it should be given a chance
