this version of canelo gets stopped by GGG, he'd get hurt pretty badly

What about the version of GGG that fought Brook, gets stopped and hurt badly?

Shame on GGG for not taking 2-3x payday of the original offer.

This coupled with the fact that last week he didnt even mention Canelo after being asked in the ring who was next makes it seem like Canelo is telling the truth.

Did anyone expect anything less? Seriously?

11-1 underdog. One of the worst champions in boxing. Actually he's the quintessential paper champion.

I'll give Canelo this though, his showcase fights are always entertaining.

Dude had balls, but DAMN did he get folded like a cheap chair at a cheap wedding.

Shit was beautiful.

Canelol strikes again!

[Combat Talk Radio]

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.....

Because that's what boxing casuals want. They don't want fighters to "Floyd". They want them to "Manny".

Canelo got completely exposed. He fought a slow guy with no power, who was way smaller, with a shorter reach, and was still eating tons of shots, and still took 8 rounds to get rid of him.

You can see why GBP want to wait until GGG gets old. Canelo has no chance against prime GGG.

I have Christened this thread. BoxingXpert went into satanism and dipped out hit alt with shame, "Smith gets robbed." A True NSB classic!

Great performance from Canelo, absolutely electric. Good effort from Beefy too. Canelo's explosive combination punching and body work is gonna be a problem for anyone.

I wouldn't pick any fighter without good legs to beat Canelo at 154 or 160, with Golovkin being the exception.
