Canelo's stock has certainly dropped

He is a domestic level UK fighter, comes forward and tries to rumble, not great power but moderate. He managed to grab a vacant title against a guy who was 17-1 at the time (and who lost to Willie Monroe jnr in his next fight). I mean I don't want to **** on Smith he is ok and all and can take care of business against domestic opposition but honestly I don't think he is top ten in the division -- at least he hasn't proved as much yet. There are no decent names on his record to point to really. Thanks, had no idea about who he was. I guess I will watch this fight. But is this... PPV? If it truly is, I doubt it will do well, although Canelo imo has star power, but I believe he needs certain fighters to achieve great numbers. Canelo vs Cotto did less than I thought though.

I thought he was making a positive move to be the 'new face of boxing'. Mayweather and Pacquiao were hanging their gloves up, and Canelo was taking good fights against the likes of Lara, Floyd, Cotto. Things looked on the up. But after the whole Golovkin duck, those '155' fights, and then facing Khan and Smith..his stock has quite rightly dropped. He's took a lot of criticism through the boxing fan-base and that can be a good thing. If boxing fans started protesting with their wallets, and stopped buying mediocre PPV's, things may change.

So to get ready for GGG in 2017 he will fight in 154? LMAO this is the definitive proof that he wont fight GGG in 160 ever. ****ING *****! Somebody that buy a Canelo fight again is a completely moron!

i dont even care about seeing Golovkin vs Canelo anymore. ive always been of the opinion that Golovkin would walk him down inside of 8, i didnt expect a so called mexican warrior in canelo to agree with me. He and his team have ran as fast as they could to the jmw division and he will make weight and he wont ever get close to the mw division until golovkin loses or moves up. He is a the biggest joke I have ever seen in boxing, I honestly dont understand how anyone on this board can defend him. I use to lke the kid too, I hope he never wins another fight. I cant stand his ginger fake as Mexican face anymore.

Casual alert. moron alert dumb@ss its called sarcasm

Saunders said he would fight gg for 2.5M is thst not fair? He is a champion after all 1) He asked 4 millions now. It was posted here. 2) GGG is much more champion than him.

It's a ****ty model he's following (the Floyd Model). All the beloved Mexican greats lost some but they were still loved and famous and sold well.

Come on Aldo, BJS don't want to fight GGG. Jacobs either. Saunders said he would fight gg for 2.5M is thst not fair? He is a champion after all

All Canelo has to do is fight the best at 154 and all will be forgiven. Meanwhile lil g will continue his "Big Bum Shows" at 160 fade into obscurity and be forgotten.

Eubank just fought another domestic opponent . But you will defend gg to the depths of hell Come on Aldo, BJS don't want to fight GGG. Jacobs either.

You may be right about. It's hard to see GBP having the kind of roster where they can pack the undercard with fights that will actually sell ppv's. Supposedly super early talks of Lemeuix/Stevens... if that happens that's good for the card... still ain't gonna buy it. Ortiz/Ustinov would be on it too.... If I were to even consider it it'd have to be Vargas/Salido II or Miura II

Who is this opponent of his? Somehow I have never head of him. Is he any good?? He is a domestic level UK fighter, comes forward and tries to rumble, not great power but moderate.

yeah it has dropped and I'm glad it has. I'd love if this fight does less that 200k buys. This ducking and marinating bull**** need to stop

His stock should drop as he has now joined trash like Bowe that dropped the title rather than fight a true threat. It's not like the WBC wanted him to fight some bum, and he decided to give away the title. He gave the title away to avoid a true threat just like Bowe. What's even worse is that he still has followers. ****roaches that can't think for themselves.

Funny that's why he's the only PPV fighter left now that Manny n Floyd retired... Yeah but look at his Numbers, he doesn't have the attention of Casual American Fans yet CLEARLY because if he did his numbers would be much higher

It will be hard to tell how bad his stock plummeted fighting in the UK

as it should!

WTF is Liam Smith?? Casual alert.
