No with 169 lbs rehydration clause that's standard in Clenelo contract.

Callum is better than Smith, no doubt. And he is very big. But does he have the money to buy the judges?

Smith is better than Smith? Are you sure? I think Smith is just as good as Smith.

It’s not an upset. Callum is a literal giant in comparison and a fine fighter. Not gonna lie....I’d probably see Canelo as the much more skilled fighter but thats a LOT to overcome. Id put money on Callum if he was a big underdog tbh. Canelo has a nuclear bunker of a chin but f uuuuck. That height/skill/weight is a LOT to deal with.

agreed, canelo is a class fighter but the size and reach difference would be hard to overcome. callum is so composed, his shots are crisp which carry lots of power and canelo would be in for a war in order to come out on top

Yeah Callum isnt Chavez Jr. weight classes do exist for a reason and there comes a point where a fighter might not be AS skilled, but he’s too skilled to have that kind of size and power advantage and is definitely skilled enough to exploit it.

Look at Mikey vs Spence. Sure, Mikey could see the punches which is why he didnt get stopped..but it doesnt matter if you literally just dont have the attributes to do anything about it because the other guy is also skilled enough to make the size and strength impossible to overcome. Maybe not the BEST example, but I think a fair one

I think that’s a very good example. Canelo is a decent puncher but does he have enough to keep Smith off him??? Huge height and reach disadvantage. And weight. Hell come in easy at 180 ish IMO

Your dumb. SMW is 168 not 169. How come your trolling ass was nowhere to be found on GGG/Rolls CW? Or when GGG wanted a CW with Ward or his $1,000,000 per/lb penalty to fight Chavez Jr. after they agreed to fight? I know why because I smell a HYPOCRITE

I personally like the IBF rules of 10 lbs. but a jack@ss like you CRIES about Canelo in every chat.
