Comments Thread For: Joe Smith: I Don't Believe Beterbiev Wants To Fight Me; I've Signed Multiple Contracts

[pesticid]

The point is that ANYONE who knows Artur knows that fear is not in him, the idea that he would duck Joe is so incredibly out of touch with reality, that's all. He will fight ANYONE. He will fight whoever they tell him to. He knew Gvodsyk from amateur days in Russia and because he beat Montreal's Adonis. "Demanding" to fight anyone isn't how it works and certainly not with him. Promoters will do their jobs and get it done. Artur doesn't need to "demand" to fight anyone because everyone in the business knows he's already all in for WHOEVER.

That's not true, fights don't just happen. You have to make them happen. You know that better than everyone with all your pedigree and knowledge of the sport.

I don't think he intends to sit around wait until he gets older, I think Canelo intends for him to do that. Just like he waited until Floyd was almost 40 to challenge him, but ended up getting embarrassed.

You really said that you must be new to boxing

This coming from one of the weirdos who claims Floyd waited for Manny to get old before he fought him. lol

I do not how to feel about this. I mean, there is no real reason to doubt Smith but I see no reason for Beterbiev to avoid Smith either. It is a profitable, in house, high stakes fight. Let's see what happens after Smith fights. So long as Canelo moves past Beterbiev (he will, there are better match ups for him), there really is not a ton of reason for this fight not to happen. Both these guys are getting to the age they need to make money and secure legacy with a sense of urgency.

ALL due respect but Artur doesn't even know who Joe is at all...he doesn't watch boxing...and if you know Artur you'd know that he LITERALLY fears no one. I mean, NO ONE. If Joe walked up to him on the street he wouldn't have a clue who it was.

I understand wanting the fight but this isn't the way to get it. Beterbiev doesn't care at all who you are, who you beat. He just wants to face whoever the best is according to the people and that's Bivol and if he moves up, Canelo.

But Beterbiev's promoter just said that Bivol is boring. It's all fine and dandy to say he fears no one, but at the end of the day if the fans aren't getting fights they want then what's the difference?

Why would I want to see Canelo in a rigged PED tested fight with morning and before fight hydration clause put on Beterbiev, only to wake up and hear Canelo is the biggest fraud of this generation when I can get real fights between Bivol, Smith, Beterbiev and a real 175 contender for REAL undisputed 175 champ?

Some of the most prolific spark punchers in boxing history move up and big fighters can take their power but a 5'7 flat-footed PED hype job has more power vs bigger men but can't stop Chavez Jr and Angulo point-blank in his face but I'll pretend that didn't happen.

Insulting people only makes your argument weaker.

I’ve made my argument. You haven’t. I asked you a simple question. From what age did this “aging out process” begin?

You must be new to boxing. People are correct. You funny son. Now please put me in my place and you tell me when Canelo should of challenger Floyd. And how old was Canelo when he started to “age Floyd mayweather out”

if it was when he was 18
floyd would of been 36

if it was 16 Floyd would of been 34

so when was Saul supposed to of fought Floyd?

no insults here. But you’ll disappear. Go And research this sport whilst you are away!

I think Floyd was actually 36 when he fought canelo, canelo was 23 @ the time.....I don't get the 18(36) thing you did....pls explain

I’m trying to show the kid what he said is laughable. And if you think Canelo aged out Floyd you are just as ******. Tbh I won’t be surprised if it’s same buddy on his second account. Considering how much you’ve taken an interest in today but not yesterday.


EDIT: He was 23 you are correct. So if Floyd was 36. That’s a 13 year disparity. So if Saul was 18 Floyd would of been 31. They were not even on each other’s radars. So my original point stands. The claim or assertion that Canelo was aging Floyd out is just damn right Outrageous.
