Smith turned down a Canelo fight.
There is something seriously wrong with everybody turning down a Canelo fight. He brings in money, yet Canelo has the hardest time getting a fight. Kovalev turned him down originally too but finally buckled. There is no explanation other than Canelo gets too many advantages. People are always lining up to fight the cash cows. You literally saw the exact opposite with Mayweather and Pacquiao. Nobody would ever turn down a fight with them and people were calling them out left and right.
And the difference too is that Canelo is much more bearable than the other two guys. Mayweather and Pacquiao proved to be some of the best that have ever boxed. No doubt that beating Canelo would raise the stock of a fighter tremendously because of his popularity. Therefore, there is no other explanation for everybody turning his offers down other than the fact that his offers are completely unfair.

Nobody can really say for sure, except for those behind the scenes. But knowing what I do about DLH and Canelo I'd say the "completely unfair offer" explanation is more plausible to me.
everyone wants that money jacobs earned, so i can also see some unrealistic expectations, "completely unfair offer" would also be subjective. callum is even lucky to be in the conversation, he should be picking up his balls & giving his daddy ryder the rematch he deserves. callum is just holding ryders belts for him. canelo should offer ryder the fight instead
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
plant might be in the conversation now, i think that's a better fight than both callum & billy joe

"I don't know which one Canelo prefers. But I do know both Callum and Billy Joe want the fight. The one who gets the fight? Probably the one who takes it for the least money. Canelo has to fight a credible guy. Callum and Billy Joe are world champions. They aren't just being picked off a list. It is a lot of money but it is less than what you have paid everybody else. We feel the same about Anthony Joshua's opponents. The market has changed, and guys are demanding."
sounds like money
