    Canelo: whats he doing at 168?

    So whats the story here? Is he shrinking SMith? dehydration clause? Or it actually at 168 lb proper with no restrictions?

        Taking on fighters with the least amount of risk that appear on paper to be risky.

          So are we done with the franchise champ garbage? Is the WBA belt finally going to be vacant?

            But but every idiotic canelo hater here said he will “never” dare get in the ring with an undefeated guy like smith.

              I think he's not comfortable going down to 160 after fighting all the way up at 175 last time out. He probably still has the quickness of a middleweight, but is physically strong enough, punches hard enough and has a good enough chin to fight at 168 comfortably, in addition to some stamina related benefits he may get from cutting less weight.

              His upper body movement and ability to close the distance will be crucial for him fighting at this weightclass while giving up height and length. It may actually be easier for him to fight a slower and heavier 6'+ opponent at super middleweight than at middleweight.
