Comments Thread For: Canelo Beats Down Callum Smith For Wide Decision: Wins WBC, WBA Titles

What an idiot. Like we say here, your ass has been closed.

Idiot why? Canelo said yes to a Golovkin fight this year.

He pursued Billy Joe Saunders.

He tried to get Caleb Plant twice.

Those are all facts.

After all that he still ended up fighting a better opponent than Golovkin did.

Your ass seems to be open so just accept the truth.

The Smith brothers all suck

Liam Smith has absolutely everything you want in a fighter EXCEPT the physical gifts. Give him a world-class body and he would be exceptional. Unfortunately, he has very average raw material to work with.

Steroid cheat is barely ahead, why is a guy on so many PED's struggling to beat someone who is natural?

I'm curious: What PEDs do you think Canelo is on? While I agree that he looks obviously enhanced, I doubt he is on "many" substances--just effective ones.

I hate hearing that GGG has the best jab or other boxers when Canelo always lands his jabs so crisp and clean and against opponents with bigger reach advantages

I have never heard someone argue that Canelo has a better jab than Golovkin. Is that your opinion?

[Elastic Recoilz]

honestly, most of them are just dopey casuals

early on, at least two fans said that Smith was throwing the fight

how many fans said that because Kovalev was timid and hesitant, it means he threw the fight?... despite the fact that Canelo's last 4 opponents were timid and hesitant, including Golovkin

they are re-tards... they literally cannot see what is happening right in front of their eyes

Had to have to have a giggle at that. I've noticed you have a trend for making up things out of the blue. How you worked out Golovkin was being "timid and hesitant" is beyond me. Canelo's work rate is generally appalling - he fights in patches and then eases off to rest. Golovkin out worked him in BOTH fights. I Golovkin was being so hesitant then why was Canelo's eye bleeding as early as round 4 you awful cretin?

This is a great question. Seriously. Especially since a jab is one of the most "trainable" tools in boxing.

I've seen other tall fighters with the same liability--Gerry Cooney, for example--and I've never understood the thinking behind neglecting this punch.

Yup. The Jab is Day 1 and so many neglect it.

Canelo must be on something....dude looks fresh after 12.

Canelo is unquestionably doping. You will notice, for example, that he gets far more visibly red in the face and body in the later rounds than he used to--for example, against Mayweather or Lara. That is a classic, telltale sign of artificially elevated hematocrit. Go back and look at Tour de France cyclists in the late 1990s-early 2000s (the peak of the EPO era) vs. the 1970s-1980s and you will see the same thing.

Oh, and "just coincidentally" Canelo's stamina problem has magically disappeared. As he has moved up in weight (he was fighting as a welterweight at 19).

I have no idea how drug testing in boxing has been affected by the Coronavirus situation, but track and field (athletics) has seen a curious phenomenon in 2020: world records set at the height of the EPO era have been decimated. We've seen a 12:35 5000 meters, a 26:11 10000 meters, a 57:32 half marathon, etc.

Smith showed he has the most heart out of current British boxers imo after he basically broke his arm from impact afaik,& he still went 12 with a lil red monster right outta Doom.
Its amazing that the fight started with Smith looking like he was going to bring it,but as usual with these bigger champs like Jacobs & Smith & ggg they leave their hands at home due to those counter haymaker combos with the best left hook to the body ever witnessed in these divisions imho,they abandon the body early on,& they slowly get neck dragged down by the short red nosed pit bull.

I feel like I just caught AIDS reading that... its incredibly ghey! Why don't you just get it over with and sit on top of ginger boys cawk already?

[SN!PER]

The Smith brothers all suck

American cousin Joe Smith will be called next to battle Canelo & put some respect on the family name.

Indongo was not a well schooled boxer like Smith who won the wbss & was far bigger compared to canelo than Indongo to Crawford,Indongo was the kind that fought worse than no hopers in Afrika & right after Crawford beat him he was kod in 2 rds by prograis & then again 1 fight later kod in 2 by nobody .

Indongo was much better than Smith when he fought Crawford. Indongo beat the undefeated 25-0 Russian IBF champ Eduard Troyanovsky and then beat Ricky Burns to unify and pick up the WBA Super belt as well.

All Callum Smith did in the WBSS was beat some Scandanavian bum called Skoglund (in the tournament to make up numbers) he then WENT THE DISTANCE with a kick boxer called Holzken (***in lol, you couldn't make this sheet up) and he then beat an old version of Groves who was just coming back from major shoulder surgery and took the fight early as the tournament organizers wanted the final in Saudi Arabia in September when really Groves' shoulder rehabilitation required at least three more months.

Based on that and that PED users shouldn't be entertained in P4P discussions, Crawford is the legit P4P number 1.
