Canelo vs Liam Smith set.

[Batman]

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

that's true but it also doesn't take much for british fans to get behind a fighter from blighty, maybe it won't raise alvarezs profile that much but it'll do something for him..

Canelo Alvarez could fight Billy Joe Saunders after Liam Smith - Boxing News

Bill joe saunders for alvarez if he beats smith..

HHmmmmmmmm I'm not too sure about that, the Brits have a habit of backing against their own, Khan started off as a hype job and people soon turned against him, Hatton was the people hero up until the end, AJ is the current flavour of the month (if he takes a shot on the jaw and goes down people will soon lose interest in him)

unless you are a superstar the brits pretty much ignore boxers in my opinion, added to that it is on boxnation so it won't have the massive promotion that sky normally put up.

as I say I think that Smith will benefit from the fight (publicitywise) in the UK more than Ginger flaps
