Canelo vs Fielding Dec-15

[Violent Demise]

I would fancy Callum Smith to beat Canelo after his dismantling of George Groves.

Groves was a good win for Smith. But lets not get carried away and make it more than it really was. A win over Groves is not a win over a great fighter. It's a win a over a good fighter who was already on the decline. I would like to see Smith fight Gilberto Ramirez instead. I think that would be a more competitive fight. Against Alvarez I think Smith would go out like his brother

I don't think anyone is getting carried away with Smith yet at his weight , but he is a proper SMW (infact a BIG SMW) with similar advantages over Canelo that Fielding has (Height, Reach etc.) The key difference is that Smith is a way better and more powerful Boxer than Fielding, as demonstrated by the fact he KO'd Fielding inside 2 minutes.
It's a fight that will never happen, but if it did, Smith would systematically beat up Canelo and because Canelo is tough , it would last quite a few rounds.
ps. as a fighter, Smith is Nothing like his Brother, Vastly different levels.

Totally agree with this. Callum impressed, but no one is clearing space on the mantle just yet. He does have good size and decent power. Your analysis of a potential matchup is right on. At the higher weight Canelo's gift advantage of size he's enjoyed over the years would be diminished, fighting someone close to his own size, even bigger in this case. What would make the fight last would be Canelo's chin, which certainly cannot be taken away from him. Other than that, it would be a systematic beatdown.

In fairness, Smith is a lot more like his brother than many other guys, fighters or otherwise

They are so physically different, they could have different fathers.
