Comments Thread For: Callum Smith: Best Version of Me Beats Canelo

[Richard Hamilton]

Probably Canelo wins easily. If Callum was a killer and a threat, he would not be a 168 fighter. He has a height of cruiserweight, if not a heavyweight. There is a reason why is Callum at 168, fighting much smller guys. Because jr. heavyweight Beterbiev probably kills him, lol.

Forum bums are so out of touch lol

I now you casuals don`t like the truth.

Tell me, why the hell would a man as tall as Callum is, fight at 168, lol?

I agree if Smith is on his game and canelo is not he can beat him.

Why wouldn't he take full advantage of hes frame? That's why fighters make weight at all.Smith looks strong at the weight still,punches hard,does 12 with ease.

Smith is not big he is just tall and skinny. Forget muscle tone, he has very little muscle mass. His legs are bird legs. He has very little power and very little hand speed. He jabs well but when he throws combinations he can be hit.. This is how the fight will end.

Smith jabs and then throws a straight right. Canelo takes the jab, ducks under the straight right, and comes back with a left hook. Smith also throws left hook, but Canelo lands first, right on the chin- and it's bye-bye Smith.

I think this is going to be Hears vs Hagler, and tommy had great muscle tone. Canelo in 3.

He is going to dwarf Canelo and I do mean dwarf.
That guy is the biggest SMW I've ever seen, he is bigger than most LHWs in history. He's literally 6ft3 & has a big frame.

I think that off-night against Ryder has a lot of people forgetting Callum is not just huge but he's a pretty damn good fighter too.

I have no idea who wins this but I wouldn't at all be surprised if Callum won or even stopped Canelo. I can't really think of a decent body puncher (outside Cotto) that Canelo has fought?

I think people just look at Canelo's opponents and look for anything they can use to discredit Canelo with. I've been wrong in a lot of predictions in recent times but I'll go ahead and say this is a very dangerous fight for Canelo.
Callum Smith is no gimme.

Because he can't make 160 anymore

He hits pretty hard actually, and he isnt slow either

[Get em up]

I dropped money on Nelo for a win in rounds 7-9 it's a long shot to pick but I think he pulls it off somewhere in there

[BirdSong]

yeah the best version of smith might beat the worst version of canelo


& then lose on the cards

Have you watched any of his fights?

Ryder had him against the ropes much of the fight and was never hurt.

Nieky Holzken, a kick boxer by trade, took the fight on 5 days notice, went the distance and was never hurt.

His KO's have come against slow guys with no power.

Just wait until the fight. You will see the difference in power and speed.

I'm not really a fan of Canelo because he cherry picks his opponents and this is the biggest cherry he has ever fought.
