    Callum is maybe the most overrated #1 guy in a division. He lost rounds to some bs ass kickboxer ffs. And well see if he's improved since the Skoglund fight, as people are claiming already, cuz if he gets hit like that by Canelo he won't be hearing the judges thoughts on the fight.

    And Canelo is already among the top fighters of his era if he never wins another fight.
    Maybe people think Smith is 3x better than Canelo because he beat Fielding 3x faster

    I don’t think you can read too much into the first 2 WBSS fights but I reckon Canelo would be tougher than an injured groves.

      Why not? Those fights among his most recent fights.

        Canelo has balls but Id be surprised if he takes on Callum Smith at 168 without any weight restrictions or rehydration clauses.

          I had absolute doubts Canelo could tangle with a giant like Smith who uses his size and jab very well but after the Jacobs fight there’s no question that Canelo can beat Smith!

          His head and upper body movement and defense is top quality and he has loads of experience at the top level!

          Just to think a guy at 5’8 could compete with super middleweight giants is mind boggling honestly!

              This mother Fer Hearn wants to pay off his fighter of Canelo’s back, he knows none in his stable will give his fighters a decent payday so this mother phucker is piggy bank riding on Canelo’s fame and fortune.

              Hearn has done shít for DAZN USA, and he is piggy back riding on GBP partnership with DAZN. He has been practically useless to DAZN in the USA so far.

                Just curious.
                That's a fair question. I was wondering myself. Maybe its a RJJr vs John Ruiz sort of thing?

                  Canelo vs Smith would bring $$$$. UK market plus US/Mexico. Too much risk and silly contract clauses though. Unify at 160 then a GGG trilogy thank you. Fans happy!

                      I feel like he raised his game massively for Groves and it looked like he just went through the motions with the other 2 fights.
