Anyone giving Smith a chance was kidding themselves, he lost to John Ryder so he was never going to be able to beat Canelo.
Just proves what a wonderful fighter Floyd Mayweather really was to beat Canelo.
To bad kovalev liked the vodka so much....don't like canelo since the ggg gift but he's really good

Truth is Floyd had numerous fights that were tougher for him than Canelo. He gave Canelo a boxing masterclass, shutting him out 12 rounds to none. Canelo had no business being in the ring against Floyd.
But yeah... Floyd was a wonderful fighter.
This is going to boil Masters piss when he reads thisQuote:

FTR Canelo was green when he faced Floyd. He also had to boil down to a stipulated weight never mind the injections in the hands and IV that Mayweather is allowed in Vegas.Quote:

Canelo only hope was having another CJ Ross.
At post fight interview, someone asked about Canelo going to Cruiserweight.
A laugh and a smirk dispelled that notion.

The size difference was comical at times, but it had no bearing at all. It was a man against a boy in there.
Stright afterwards, I watched Mayweather against Alvarez. Jesus, what a fighter Floyd was. Brilliant against an admittedly pre-roided to the gills Canelo. It's painfully obvious when you look at the changes in his physique!
Mayweather stood right in the pocket, like Don Curry used to do, countered Canelo until he was gun shy. Controlled the ring, astonishing reflexes and technique and superb fitness and stamina.
Great list of excuses. Now do PacquiaoQuote:

what was Smith thinking? You cant win fights if you dont throw punches.
Canelo is making Floyd look better, without doubt, however, he's clearly much improved since the Floyd fight, which obviously was a huge benefit for him. Apart from Golovkin no-one below 175 (Bivol, Beterbiev) looks a "danger." Saunders, Charlo, Plant, Benevidez are going the way of Callum.
And talking of those names.....
20 minutes into the video, this YouTuber nails it for me. The questions is asked.

They don't want to run the risk of fighting one of the others in the division because if they get beat they won't get the $$$ that comes with Canelo, simple as that really
