    Why smith canelo is a mis match. Smith dosen't use his reach

    Smith fights like his brothers. Same style but levels above. He dosen't use his reach or a good jab to keep his opponents at bay. He squares up comes forward and tries to time you with his counter left.

    2nd he clearly lost to ryder a tough journeyman. No i'm not saying ryder is a bum. He's a glorified journeyman.

    No smith is not the best at 168. Both ramirez and benavidez most likely beat him.

    Canelo stops him with a body shot.

    Lmaoo.. In what world is the Ring, WBA champ and the number 1 ranked SMW in the world a mismatch? Caleb Plant is gonna fight another bum on January and Benavidez got knocked down and was on the verge of getting stopped by Ronald Gavril. They're resume doesn't compare to Callum Smith.

      I think Callum is gonna be KO'd, but I wouldn't call it a mismatch.

      To me idk that you can or should call any fight between top ten guys a mismatch. And both these guys are top ten.

      Granted it could end up looking like a mismatch, but thats one of the things about boxing. The wins & loses are so conclusive sometimes when a KO happens or a guy 12-0's a guy that fans always can have that argument.

        Did you read what he said? We are talking about Smith vs Canelo. Why do guys keep bringing up other fighters.

        - Smith doesn't use his size.
        - He fights in a shell.

        This fight will be Canelo vs Chavez Jr 2.0. You guys are completely mislead. 168 is a weak division. If it wasn't, Canelo wouldn't be there.

              I hope I’m wrong but you’ve got to think Canelo goes through him just as soon as he wants to.
              There’s nothing in Smiths resume that suggests he should even be in the same ring with him frankly, a lot of people at putting a lot of faith in Smith’s size.....let’s hope he uses it well and has the fight of his life.

                Since Smith doesn't fight tall / use his reach advantage, he only has a puncher's chance. That's about it.

                Mismatch: skill-wise yes, ranking-wise no, and it is generally the latter that counts when it comes to match-making.

                Skill-wise there is at the moment no match for Canelo (absurdly enough, BJS may be the closest one) at 160-168.

                    The OP is trying to say that the belts will belong to the better fighter. If Ryder wants to fight the winner then perhaps Hearn can set it up. The OP is also trying to say is that circumstances are not Canelo’s fault. Lol
