Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez-Callum Smith: Everybody Wins

But, as others have said, it's Canelo's fault for choosing 168...guy needs to defend 160, 168, and 175 simultaneously or he's a cherrypicking ducker.

XD XD XD

Bunch of know nothing casuals on here.

Suck on the nuts of GGG for fighting a titleless, no hoper, but want to complain about this fight.

🤔 Just wondering if there's a rehydration clause for Smith..Where to fight Canelo some of his opponents have had to struggle doing weight almost to the last minute.

I do not understand anyone whining about this fight unless you just like to whine. Smith is a good fighter, and Alvarez could have had any name in about 4 different divisions. He could have lined up a nobody since it has been over a year to knock off the ring rust and made a ton of cash. Instead, he picked a legit fighter who has earned his title and deserves this fight and has a chance to pull the upset.

I agree. Wins all around. Particularly for fight fans.

same here man,,, this makes up for a lot for Canelo and we can think of it as a gift from him, he seems to understand well the fact that we want to see him with good opponents and this a a significant risk, people who complain must not know who plant is or are just find of certain fighters ,,, but don't worry, they will get theirs soon enough

I guess Smith getting a good payday in a losing effort is a ''win'' for him.

everyone and their momma knows this is a super easy fight for canelo smh boxing fans wouldve won if canelo fought plant in AMERICA not a foreigner

This is why pretend boxing fans should be run from this forum and banned. If you actually follow the sport you’d have known that Plant and his team turned down Canelo in May then were unable to negotiate this fight for now and are looking to fight him in his next fight after Smith.

Callum's best win is a faded Groves. Kind of puts things in perspective when you think about it.

So no, not everybody wins, specially not the fans.

I firmly believe you’d B! tch about being an orphan after willingly killing your own parents.

First off, good piece by Cliff and it helps that I agree with his assessments. The fight is a win for almost everyone.

Canelo wanted a fight and this was probably the best one realistically available. The Smith brothers are tough as nails and I don't expect him to get rolled like Rocky Fielding.

He poses some matchup problems for Canelo with his length and height. He can box decent enough and he likes to **** too. I don't expect him to win but I do expect him to make it a tough fight for a while.

It's a good, more than legit fight. Callum has been legit since Ward left the division. Bad night against Ryder. I'm a fan of both. I wanted to see this fight all along. Happy fan here. Kudos to Callum and Canelo.

War Boxing!

I think it's a decent matchup. Certainly better than most of the opponents that were previously floated. Smith is not anywhere near as skilled as Canelo, but he is giant for the weight class and durable. It's a proper contest.

Decent fight, but Canelo is too strong for Smith, would break down the body. He beat a faded Kovalev, why not take on Bivol and Beterbiev in future.
