Thread: Canelo vs Liam Smith set.

Does Liam Smith not blow up above 154 on fight nights? He doesn't look smaller than Canelo. It's not unfair if a fighter makes weight the same way everyone else does, whatever you think of Canelo he's not the only guy who can move weight easily. Of course the catch weights were a different thing, and I'm not defending this fight or anything, but Canelo isn't any bigger than the Charlo brothers or Andrade.

Well if true i think he should just drop the belt at 160 and fight at 154 which is fine with me if thats the weight class he chooses to fight at but he needs to make up his mind. I still do not get how he gains so much weight i have seen him in person he is not a very big dude.

he already has given up the wbc belt, shame the fight with golovkin didnt happen but I think fighting cotto and khan as his two "middleweight" title fights is not proper preparation to take on golovkin. If golovkin is taking on eubank jr next and canelo v smith, then maybe they are trying to build up a uk fanbase for a potential golovkin v canelo fight.. Canelo certainly needs some fights v real middleweights before he takes on golovkin though in my opinion.

I think that is wishful thinking, Eubank Jr yeah maybe, Smith on the otherhand is not known outside of boxing fans, Callum is probably a bigger name and its Liam that has the world title, if anything a Canelo v Smith fight will raise Smith's profile in England and not old ginger flaps

Understand why everyone thinks this is shit because Smith is unknown in the UK let alone the US. And Canelo has blatantly swerved Golovkin. However, I think it's a decent fight. Smith is a bit of a lump at 154 too, and a solid box/puncher.

The Mexican community should never buy the ppv event.

They will though, cus they love boxing
I told myself I wasn't going to buy Joshua fight but low & behold Saturday evening I was pressing that box office button.

It will be on boxnation here but it's not Ppv worthy IMO. Canelo is saying Liam's a knockout puncher which is an attempt to try & fool the fans. He bigged up Khan too but he wouldn't big up Golovkin which tells a story. He doesn't see a threat in Liam.

Beefy looks good to me. He's not supposed to be the best of the 4 brothers but he's achieved more as a pro and I'd rate him above Callum until his younger bro proves himself at world level. I think beefy gives Canelo a better fight than Khan did but get worn down

Callum is better fighter and has more potential.

According to his boxnation bio he sits around the house and walks around at 163. But according to him....

I’m a big 154. A lot is made of Canelo coming in the ring at 180."

"I’ve said to people, if I wanted, I could get in the ring at 180. But I choose not to. On the night, there would not be a big difference between us size wise. It’s a fight I’d love. I was too big for Amir when I sparred with him for that fight. I kind of knew it was going to happen. It was always a case of could Amir go to points?"

“If Amir could get to points, he might do well. But he didn’t make it because he was too small. Amir is a 147 fighter. You’d have to chop my leg off to make me a 147 fighter.”

I didn't realise that he sparred with Khan, that would have been an interesting watch

seems like a mismatch, but is it


Canelo didn't do an amazing job on matthew hatton and Ryan Rhodes gave him a fight


smith would beat both of those fellows

I agree. I don't think it's a mismatch. But what I reckon will happen is Canelo will come in overweight, take a relatively small fine and because he's so big, beat up Smith , but Smith will keep his title. Everyone's a winner.....except the punters who get conned yet again.

I want Canelo tested. Has he got a vagina or not?

He's ginger and those omens are not good. He is a corporate lackey boy and won't take the risks until the risks are aged.

He is the definition of an albino turkey.

Canelo fought both of those guys when he was 19. Liam Smith drew with some tomato can not long before that and when he was 21, which also doesn't mean anything today, just saying.
