I think Canelo causes problems early fighting short, utilising his head movement and with his handspeed before Smith takes full control by midpoint. Smith is way too big, strong and fundamentally sound. This guy must legitimately walk around at 200lbs standing about 6ft3, he is an absolute giant SMW. I have no idea how he still makes the weight without it hampering him.
I don't think Canelo has the tank. He gasses after 4-5 good rounds in every fight. As good as his head movement often is its exhausting and he expands way too much energy looking to land the perfect homerun.
I think he probably looks good for 4-5 rounds then Smith batters him all around the ring. Smith has gears Canelo doesn't.
Smith won't abandon the body like GGG did.
I also worry about Canelo's knees. Hasn't he already had surgery on both?
I like Canelo more than Smith and think he's P4P or whatever the better fighter but he has his limits, this would be a step too far.
