Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez vs. Liam Smith is NOT a Bad Fight, Explains Hearn

[daggum]

liam smith lost 5 rounds to john crawford...

he basically fights like a bum if you've ever seen a bum fight

[PivotandRoll]

He picked the worst champion in the division to fight and the least known in america.

When andrade was the wbo champion, canelo wasn't interested in that belt

So he has to fight people known in America now? I'm not from America, I know who Liam Smith is. Seems to me the problem is you ignorant boxing fans.

How is he the worst Champion? last time I checked the Charlos or Andrade hadn't beaten him. Why should Canelo fight Lara's sparring partners or the guy who continues to call out Lara but then duck the fight?? Wouldn't that be moving backwards?

I mean maybe Canelo wants to collect the belts....it's a good enough excuse for GGG.

he also lost a couple roudns to some guy named jimmy kelly? ..........

he's getting most of his money from american ppv revenue so yes? if you want to get money you don't fight guys that aren't known but then again canelo himself is known and thats all that matters. his opponents simply don't matter at all. he will make money no matter what. would he make more money fighting someone good yes but it doesn't really matter. he still makes enough. its the floyd strategy. fight unknown baldomir for less than margs who is mexican because its an easy fight and he still makes a sh-it ton. he leaves money out there but when you have a lot of money who really cares.

Smith is known in the UK. Canelo is not American, he does not have to pander to them. If you want to watch his fights then that's on you.

I bet you it's not easy.

Hearn riding that UK high wave right now so he's hyping Liam Smith probably vs ****ting on Canelo is likely the spin he's putting on it.

[PivotandRoll]

was charlo fighting jimmy kelly or john crawford?

And then what? After letting them land punches on his gloves while taking none in return he stepped up and knocked them out? Is he not allowed to improve?

Just admit it, you want to hate on Canelo so are having a go. Smith is a champion who has as much right to try be great as anyone else.

You the type of fool who wrote of Crolla against Barroso. Should I name all the fighters Crolla has lost rounds to in his career??? How about fights he lost to "bums" .....regardless of the quality of this fight I do know you are an assh0le...

Let's start the over/under PPV buys at 150k.

I'm taking under and Canelo used to be one of my FAVORITE fighters!

I really was telling everyone and REALLY beloved it would be against GGG next. I bought all of his fights, etc. And it's just too hard to go from expecting GGG but seeing Liam...
