beefy alot bigger than canelo..interesting, i thought they were practically the same size.

ps: why is matthew macklin there/speaking?

Wait I though smith was black??
Dude is big! Still a shi t fight but at least the size advantage won't be all in cantnelos favor

how much you want to bet that the placement of the first few pictures, with smith closer to the camera to make him look bigger, was intentional?

chck out the rest fo the gallery, particularly when they're standing shoulder to shoulder adn they're both in full frame of the camera. canelo is a naturally more robust dude. he's going to have trouble making the weight. smith is pretty average for a 154 lber.

This will be the what? 4th Brit that Canelo has KO? I lost count..yeah Smith is not avenging any of you.

Mat Hatton went the distance with Canelo, and Ryan Rhodes was stopped on his feet in the 12th. Canelo had a big size advantage over both of them, same as he did against Khan.

Smith is bigger and tougher than those 3 guys. I can't see Canelo KOing him.

Oh aight so then I dont want to hear any excuses about Canelo cherry picking then...looks like people are now changing their original comments.

Canelo hasn't made 154 in what, 2 1/2 years? And the last time he tried to, against Angulo, he failed and has been at 155 ever since.

I'm wondering if the pressure he's been under over what happened with GGG, plus having to make 154 again after so long, will affect Canelo's performance against Smith. If it does, Liam is the kind of hungry, ambitious kid who could take advantage of that and spring a big surprise here.

Liam is taylor made for Canelo. He doesn't use his legs so Canelo will have many opportunity to counter and land.

It would be a good fight to watch if Liam chin holds and Canelo wasn't running away from triple G

Smith is huge in comparison! This might be a cherry pick gone wrong. I have a feeling.. Smith bout to get robbed!

Gonna be fun watching Canelo make 154 then get into the ring. If Liam kicks his ass, it will be because Canelo's weight games backfire.

does anyone here think canelo might blow up the weigh in and come in at
155,156 pay smith and fight? I mean let say he does 154 on weight in! coming fight night he be at 170+Lbs!!! I just cant see canelo coming in at 154 and look healthy after all 155 circus run!

i'm almost certain that's what will happen. he won't have a shot to win a belt he cannot defend. it pushes his fight with golovkin off for a while longer. and it gets him paid agaisnt an easy opponent. i think it's been the plan all along to miss weight. i genuinely believe that. i don't think canelo can make 154, certainly not for liam smith.
