Comments Thread For: Canelo Knocks Out Liam Smith in Nine To Win WBO Title

[talz]

Brook has a 68% KO rate, what do you classify as a big puncher then?

You have to look at his opposition also, its much easier to KO bums.

Why didnt Canelo drop down to 147 vs Mayweather? Why doesnt Canelo drop to 147 to figh Pacman? You ****** logic makes no sense.

Canelo didn't drop to welter to fight Mayweather because their fight was a unification match (meaning they both held belts) at 154. And why drop to fight Pac when he's the bigger draw now? Pac got dropped by HBO for a reason. His fans have shifted their fervor to GGG. Check Pac's numbers against Vargas in November for further proof.

What a bunch of ****ing r tards. For God's sakes!!!! So Liam Smith who hasn't beat anyone exposed Canelo but Trout Lara and Cotto didnt? Why does God make us live on earth with ****** people. Lmao!!!!! Would the world just end already!

[JakeTheBoxer]

who has brook beat? who has GGG beat? ROFL.

GGG˙s best win is Lemieux. What do you think would happen if Lemieux faced Cotto ( best win of Canelo)?

cotto easily outboxs lemmy. cotto is WAY WAY more accomplished then lemmy. sad you are even comparing the 2.

canelo also beat lara and trout who every idiot on this site said he was ducking.

Why did Smith just stand in front of the Alvarez taking punches? I don't get why some fighters don't use their feet, move their head, Bob and weave, stick and move, he just stands in range taking punches.....

Cause that's boring doe, it's running doe, and that aint keeping it real doe.

That's the way Smith fights and probably why they picked him

Canelo has fought 3 fighters with good intelligent movement in Trout, Lara and Floyd. He lost 1, possibly lost against Lara and struggled with Trout. Even Khan had success early on but he's not intelligent enough to keep it going as is often the case with Khan and size played a big factor in slowing Khan down.

They won't be putting Canelo in with any slick fast fighters anytime soon, unless they're really a few levels below.

NO. Canelo was just 23 y/o a couple of months before the fight. Too inexperienced, too naive. WAY LESS POWERFUL, skilled, fast and accurate than today. The Canelo of today would do what he did with Cotto, Lara, Trout, and now Smith. Absorb all of Floyd's pillow-fisted punches, get some oxygen in the ropes deliberately, attack him to the body relentlessly (WHICH NOBODY EXCEPT CASTILLO HAS EVER DONE to Floyd), take away his legs and then knock him out. Also, if they fought any time next year, say on cinco de Mayo, Floyd would be 40. Way slower, weaker and less accurate in his reflexes than when he fought Canelo, when Floyd was 37 (just a bit past his prime) and Canelo was 23 (way, WAY before his prime, which he hasn't even reached as of yet).

And don't forget that Canelo was drained to 152, so previous to the fight he was more concerned on making weight than on actually training and developing an intelligent strategy against such an extremely tricky and experienced super-defensive opponent.

I have no doubt whatsoever that, at 154, THIS CANELO would KO Floyd. None. His power, accuracy, precision and timing, boxing IQ, speed, defense, ring movement and general skills are totally different from the Canelo Floyd fought. This Canelo, if he fought himself as in his version vs. Floyd, would have massacred himself the same or worse than how he just dismantled this poor super-brave dude Liam Smith last night.

All that you wrote is bs and ******. Canelo has gotten better, but he was far from drained, and he was thoroughly out boxed, he was able to do what he did last night because the opponent came to him. Floyd does what he wants in the ring, but doesn't attack foolishly, is MUCH faster, and if he's so pillow fisted, why did he manage to make Canelo stop throwing? Must punch a lot harder than most think huh?

The kid had 42 pro fights by then ffs, and he couldn't win more than 2 rds. If you're not ready after 42 fights you never will be.

Bizer and jo jo dan were mandatories, and also not British lol get your facts right!

Boxer and jo jo fought majority of fights outside the states, domestic guys he could of attempted to unifications fights everytime he was going fight somebody with a name at 147 either a magical injury happened or he chose to fight mando
