Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez vs. Liam Smith Finalized at 154, 9/17 on PPV

He didn't fail to make it weight he didn't even try and negotiated it at 155 because it was a NON TITLE fight. If he can't make it then why did he just sign on for a title fight at 154? And what will be your excuse if he makes weight? You still going to call him a middleweight or will you be man enough to admit if he can make 154 then he is a jr middleweight?

Canelo signed a contract to fight Angulo at 154 lbs, but 2 days before the weigh in he notified Angulo's team that he would not be able to make the contracted weight and payed Angulo $100,000 to add an extra 1 lb to the contract. Canelo couldn't make 154 on that occasion and he hasn't tried again since then.

Obviously he can make 154 if he really tries. Tyson Fury could could make 154 if he starved himself down to skin and bones. The question is, can he do it safely, without weakening himself, on a regular basis. If he can't, then he is a MW, not a SWW.

Great fight. Canelo is once again darling to be great.

How the fuck is this a PPV fight. Only know the guy by name and I'm a fucking boxing junkie.

So if he makes 154, does that mean that he isn't a middleweight?

Then he should not have held the middleweight title hostage fighting a glass jawed welterweight and insisting any 160 pound fighter would not be allowed to fight for his middleweight title. There is a reason why he is perceived as a diva coward and the Mexican fans have shown their disproval and rightfully so. He disgraced himself. I have watched 25 years of some of the most amazing fuking fighters on the planet known as Mexican warriors. He is not one of them.

Stop Fury could cut off his leg and never make 154 and stop with the exaggerations comparing a career heavyweight to a man who has to lose 1 pound. Aint nobody starving themselves to cut 1 pound when he is 25 years old and NEVER fought above 155 his entire career as a pro or amateur. Sorry this doesn't play into the BS narrative you been screaming for almost a year that Canelo is somehow a middleweight and now he is proving you wrong fighting for a championship at 154. And sad you still can't answer a straight question. If Canelo makes 154 how the F can you still with a straight face call him a middleweight?

Lol, Canelo is a giant puzzy

there's LEVELS to this.

You really just said that to defend Canelo fighting Liam Smith. I appreciate the all caps as well, really drives home that there are levels to this. Well then, Canelo just went from the Final Boss battle and warp whistled his way back to level 2.

You've made it painfully obvious just how jaded you are.

Aaaaand....we out.

Fact Liam Smith is BETTER then the man GGG just fought Wade, and the man GGG is fighting next Eubank. And better then the man he fought last year Monroe. Smith is better then 3 of the last 4 opponents GGG has faced and the 4th is lemeiux and it's debatable if he's better then Smith. that's the level GGG is at.

Nobody here better buy that PPV, what a joke.

I hope Canelo feels all the backlash from his Mexican American fans, because he has none in Mexico.

I mean, if you are gonna openly duck GGG (which already makes you look like a massive biotch) at least fight the best at 154, Andrade or the Charlo bros, not Liam fookin Smith. what a farce.

Ireland, you can claim this guy, we don't want him.
