Comments Thread For: Callum Smith Very Interested in Fighting Canelo Next

[Tatabanya]

It's the way he disposed of Groves. After the partly bad performances in the rest of the WBSS, he showed why he was the 2nd seed by putting on a clinic. If anything this fight should be seen as equal with an exceptional boxer vs. a great boxer with size.

Look, I was so sure about Smith knocking Groves out that I won money on the result. But that also tells more about Groves - a second-level champion, IMO - than Smith himself. I don't think the fight will ever happen... but if it does, it won't be as a sure Smith win as most people here seem to think.

Sounds like you're confusing Callum with Fielding, or maybe Smith with Rocky?

lol

Hey, thanks for pointing that out lol! I hit that edit button and fixed that (hopefully everyone knew what I meant) :-)

It's refreshing to see a comment that actually makes boxing sense. Too many casual boxing fans here.

HA! I'm 54 and following boxing since 1971 or so. Were you born already then, buddy?

Yeah I'll have to watch how he does against Rocky to make my final judgement but Canelo hasn't even fought at 168 yet and his fans are already sure he's gonna wreck the super champion? I have no beef with Canelo but those comments were dumb.

Blind fans are ******, we know that. I think my assessment is fairly impartial and based on solid reasoning, and in any case it's not Bible of course.

When all is said and done, what I'd love best would be FIELDING - who I really like, a nice bloke indeed - to pull out a huge upset!

Blown up Canelo and Smith would look about 4 weight classes apart from one another.

[Throwingbombs]

Callum is by FAR the best of the smith brothers and is a monster at 168.

No chance Canelo agrees to fight him. I think Canelo should beat Fielding though and then drop back down to middleweight.

[Tatabanya]

Those thin bodies of both Smith and Fielding... just thing what a PED-fueled Canelo left hook would do to those ribs

OK, just kidding now.

As much as I do not like Canelo, he is no George Groves. Smith looked great last time out, but Alvarez would pose serious problems to him.

Still, you're right in thinking that the fight will probably never happen.

If this fight happens, Canelo will go down as a legend. Smith is a beast at 168lbs.

Canelo is a natural 154lber.

Legend ATG status confirmed if he takes out Smith at 168lbs.

Callum is starting to develop a taste for avenging his brothers. First getting revenge for Paul against groves and next revenge for Liam against Canelo!

Jokes aside this will be a lot more competitive than people on here will have you think. I wouldn’t be surprised if smith pulled off the upset.

Upset?

Smith would be the favorite. Canelo winning against this guy would be a stunner.
