    LOL triangle theories much?
    Smith stopped Fielding in 1 round, Canelo took 3 rounds from memory.

      Canelo's team is doing what they typically do throwing out names to stir the pot and see who comes knocking. NOBODY. They want to fight 5 weeks from now. It's impossible. Callum Smith will waste a week simply traveling and being quarantined. There's no way.

        Lol. Do you even understand what Quarantine is? High profile fighters, during the pandemic, all fights, have had isolated conditions but are still practicing and doing camp. How do you misinterpret all this? You think high profile boxers are roaming the streets or malls when preparing for the fights? Lol. “simply quarantined.” What does that even mean? That people are chained to a wall for a week?

          Callum Smith beats Caleb Plant but Plant is a bigger threat to Canelo. Canelo has always disliked movement, except he's in his 30s now, slowing down a bit in the legs, and fighting in a higher weight class which makes him slower.

              BJS won’t fight anyone, he talks a lot but has only had one meaningful fight.

              Smith is huge for super mid, he is more or less a light heavy that can still make weight. Whereas Kova was past it, Smith is fresh and just the size and reach will cause big problems.
              Boxing skills wise Cannelo is miles ahead, but he is giving up size, reach, strength against a young fresh fighter.

                Like a lot of people he thinks maybe Canelo is not all that. If he was a "line em up, I'll fight anyone who wants a crack" type of fighter, he would have a bunch of "L's" and not be boxings biggest draw.

                  Smith is ridiculous at SMW everytime i see him in the ring how the **** does he make weight.

                  And yes the Ryder fight was one of the worst decisions in recent memory.

                  Easy UD for Canelo if that version of Callum Smith shows up.

                    Got to see how this extended lay off will effect Canelo it will be over one year he hasn't stepped in the ring.

                      Seems like Canelo is trying to see who will accept the lowest offer. Smith is the smart choice after he lost his last fight. We already know Canelo turned down 20M plus upside to face BJS so it won't be him
