Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez vs. Liam Smith: Pre-Fight Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Maybe Liam Smith will prove to be a tough test for Saul Alvarez in the Mexican star's official return to the 154 lb. weight class. Maybe we look back on 2016 as a year where Alvarez essentially went on a competitive vacation. He wouldn't be the first star who did. He's being moved as the heir to his promoter Oscar De La Hoya. Even Oscar, always lauded for taking tough outs, took what was a relative vacation for five fights between Pernell Whitaker and Ike Quartey.

smith has better defense than canelo? don't post drunken articles again this is your last warning lol

[knockoutkid]

smith has faster punches but probs slower feet, but he's not realy fought noone so cant really tell.

[Greed.]

Smith doesn't have better defence than Canelo. He doesn't move his head or upper body even near as well as Canelo does.

Love 'em or hate 'em, you can't erase history:

"While there is a vocal element giving him the business for delaying a showdown with Gennady Golovkin, Alvarez has actually been matched harder than almost anyone in the top tier of boxing in the last few years. Austin Trout, Floyd Mayweather, Erislandy Lara, and Miguel Cotto were his foes in four of his last seven."

Angulo, Kirkland, and Khan were the other 3! I'm not buying this PPV, however "Don't hate player, hate the game!" BOYCOTT!

yes that's what it is. history. now is the present. now he is ducking so he should be ridiculed and laughed at. he's also the b-side to ggg as hes only making 3 million. ggg just made 5. ggg surpassed him by making smart moves while canelo ducked and ruined his rep. lets hope he agrees to ggg's demands like he agreed to floyds when they fought.

Lets get to the point. Even if Canelo was only getting 3 mil. Guaranteed he is still getting gate and ppv money on top of that which will easliy make another 3mil or more on top of that. So the 5 mil theory is out the window for GGG.
GGG is still the B side and will be when the fight does take place.
Canelo brings the money, not GGG. Canelo will be the A side. Canelo is 26 years old and has already faced the very best boxers period. And u want to ridicule him. Lol get a life dude. He will face GGG but on his terms. He went to court took care of that. Think if he would have fought GGG then they would have taken that much more money from him. Smart business.
They will make more money as well waiting that year out to fight GGG as long as he keeps winning.
I am a fan of both but those are the facts. GGG has not passed Canelo and has not fought anybody still close to the level of fighters that Canelo has faced.
