Comments Thread For: Saunders: Four, Five Weeks Not Enough Time For Smith To Prepare To Beat Canelo

I guess in the UK you need 4-5 months to train for a fight. Here in the states, we just need 4-5 weeks to kick your butt. The cream will rise to the top

“But Joe Gallagher’s a very experienced trainer, so hopefully Callum’s been under the impression of the news for a long time that he’s been fighting Canelo."

Hearn should've told Smith to be ready to fight, regardless of the opponent. He's the one that was in the negotiations!

5 weeks is enough time to game plan

If he entered camp out of shape then he's not very professional

Do you think Canelo prepares for 5 weeks? Or could it be that he knows who he'll fight weeks before they complete negotiations and start training then? Being a boxing superstar has its perks, you know. He did the same with Kovalev. I don't see Smith winning tbh. Canelo's true kryptonite was GGG, which is why he fought him when GGG was 35. When it comes to A-level fighters Canelo's tactics is to put them in disadvantage position be it waiting for them to start slipping or play games like 5 weeks training camp, rehydration clauses and so on.

Seriously? How many examples can you list of championship level fights when a US fighter prepared for 5 weeks and beat a British fighter who prepared for 8 or 12?

They both have 4-5 weeks to train. They are both champions and should eat,sleep,box. This is what separates the pretenders vs HOF boxers. Saunders would need 2-3 months just to cut weight because he let’s himself go and doesn’t stay in the gym. This is why I would never pick him to beat any top level guys

100% right there. No Boxing, No Life

Man u casual fans are weird. Lots and lots of excuses. 5 weeks?? Smith been rumored to fight Canelo since back in February.

You need me to show u like links?

What a bozo.. let Canelo move to the UK & fight all of these bozos.. you know the fight is a possibility for damn near a year..

[SteveM]

there's been rumours of Callum Smith being the next Canelo opponent for months now so Callum has probably been in a half-camp mode - unlike Saunders who is probably on the booze and crisps until the day a fight gets signed.

Here we go with the Johnny come lately casuals. You can always anticipate when they will pop out from under mom’s dress and open their c o c k holsters

stop deflecting and trolling.

Who's the casual?

Since going life and death with Lara Canelo has looked for opponents to show weaknesses before fighting them.

Golovkin > Brook and Jacobs
Kovalev > Ward and Alvarez
Smith > Ryder

see the pattern?

I’m sure Smith has been training longer than that. He seems like a responsible guy and being the WBA champ, he knows it’s a responsibility to stay in shape and that he has to stay on his toes. I’m rooting for Smith to give Canelo hell and make him dig deep.
