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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - Boxing's biggest stars are now fully aligned. The idea that 2020 could pass without an appearance from nominally reigning lineal middleweight king Saul Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KO) wouldn't have been boxing's worst case scenario. After the interruptions from COVID, the sport has bounced back to have a rock solid fall. Fans in the US have found gems on...

This isn't really that bad of a fight but there were a bunch of better fights out there especially for a fighter of Canelos caliber and market value.

I hear fat Dan was so shocked over this announcement that needed 12 hours to collect himself and report it.

This is definitely a very good fight, one that I want to watch. Like one of the subscribers said there are better fighters out there to be made. But this fight is way better than that Turkish fighter that they were trying to sell to the public. Callum Smith is tall, has reach is undefeated, and has never been knocked out. We have a fight folks, and it's about time. Hopefully this will be the start of a taken on all the best fighters, to let everyone see what Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is really made of. Is he really the pound for pound king, fights like this will answer that, and many more questions.

Im looking forward to this one. It isnt going to be GGG, so everyone needs to move on for a bit. With the way the pandemic looks to be sticking around, sometimes you take what you get.

Some good fights coming up before the end of the year.

I know that most of us stream fights a day or so later, but I subscribe to DAZN when they have several good fights, or ones I really want to make sure I see like AJ, over a 30 day period, then cancel. If someone is a general sports fan, I think it is well worth a yearly subscription, they have a lot of soccer, nfl, etc., pretty much everything.

Indeed, the haters do win. They can complain that Alvarez is cherry-picking Smith, that he should fight Plant, Charlo, or GGG instead. A few lunatics will be disappointed that Canelo is not fighting a YouTuber instead -- Jake Paul or Rue Paul for instance. Folks should appreciate this fight for what it is -- a tough fight for both. Smith is the number one rated fighter in the 168 lb division. He is massive at 6'3" with a reach of the average 6'6" guy, plus he can ****. It is a good fight.

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.

Im with most of you guys here, why is everyone hating on canelo fighting Smith? this is a legit fight at 168lb. Everyone talk about him fighting charlo, andrade, plant, and so on. But guess what? Canelo is fighting the better guys. Guys like charlo who just beat Chenko should still be fighting guys like daniel jacobs, ggg, and andrade. Sorry that win vs chanko doesnt give you the rights to fight canelo lol. Charlo should be stepping up and fighting benevides or plant and make it a point that he wants canelo next. otherwise you have 3 guys you can work with to get a shot at canelo.
