Comments Thread For: Callum Smith "Shocked" & "Gutted" at News of Canelo-Murata

[boliodogs]

Why don't BJS and Smith just fight each other for their world titles while they wait and hope for the big money Canelo fight. They both fight for DAZN and live close to each other and that fight should make them both good money. Don't worry about a loss on your record spoiling a potential Canelo fight. Everyone Canelo fought since GGG had some losses on their record.

Seems like Canelo just being Spiteful at this point and doing WTF he wants to prove a point that he is in charge I guess

[Verus]

All these fighters who want to fight Canelo, and there must be around 25 of them in the 3 divisions of middleweight, super middleweight, and light heavyweight should quit whining get on with their life and fight other people, preferable each other.

This wailing and gnashing of teeth by these fighters, their promoters, and fanboys has gotten old. It reminds of the weeping and crying of Golovkin and his cheerleaders. These characters act like they are entitled to a huge paycheck from Canelo. Grow your own fanbase and quit waiting for the man to give you a handout. Even some like Charlo refuse to fight Canelo for $10 million dollars or more because they think they "deserve" more. These are pathetic creatures.

I’m no fan of Canelo

But the fight isn’t that bad

It’s not a great fight, but he has just faced Kovalev and Jacobs

It’s no Ivan Redkach

Nobody has to earn anything. Canelo just fights guys he is sure he can beat. Earning the fight has nothing to do with it. What did Khan, Chavez Jr, Kirkland and Angulo do to earn a Canelo fight except to look very easy for him to beat?

well the concept should be that you'd have to earn a big fight like that. But you're right, that's not the Canelo approach. For him it's all about minimizing risk because he knows that his fanbase would support him regardless of who he fights.

Make your own legacy, wtf!

No one wanted to see them two fight, only Eddie! Smith & BJ, then who wins fights Canelo! Same as Charlo & Dodo bird (DA), lol.

Canelo made his own legacy! GGG, Mungia, Garcia, and more are making their legacy! Those four want Money! Just like Canelo but he put harsh work first!

Oh yeah Canelo is scared to take a fight against 1 of the 2 Brits who both looked like trash in their last fights or goes on to fight Murata who is coming off 2 consecutive KO's and has a belt but they are talking trash usual bitter hos can never please anybody they just want the payday.

I used to think BJS was quality but he fights nobodies and still struggles with them plus he is an actual drug cheat after talking trash about Canelo. Smith is a big 168 but he lost to Ryder and I think Canelo would bust him up on the inside quite easily how about he fights a quality fight himself who has he fought he looked like garbage against that Dutch kickboxer and struggled with Ryder his only solid win is George Groves with a bad shoulder who had been starched twice by Froch and got slapped around by Badou Jack

[Bandman]

Canelo wants a tune up. i say fck it. he deserves it. Callum Smith looked horrendous in his last fight anyway. Andrade and Charlo just sitting around waiting for the golden ticket when they should be fighting each other.

Canelo has the right to mix in some easier fights between his tougher challenges.

It can't just be one killer opponent after another with no recovery fights in between.

Well it can be, but that’s not how the watered down modern sport of boxing works

But I think we can’t expect Canelo to be judged differently to everyone else doing the same thing

It’s not Canelo to blame, more so the promoters and the gullible sports fans willing to accept it
