    I can agree that is almost, almost as bad as GGG vs Lemieux PPV farce and flop. :deal

    Canelo is a Jr. MW. I'm pretty sure when he sropped that joke MW title he had made it very clear.

    A jr. MW who weights like a LHW on fight night and only beats smaller fighters to be exact.

    Canelo weighs as much as Rios weighed in for Bradley... Is Rios a LHW?

    This is an intelligence test for boxing fans from the states. We will see how many people will act as enablers for this shameful behavior and buy this ppv. Now I don't have a problem with the actual fight even though smith is possibly the worst title holder at 154 in the last 20 or so years, since canelo will get a belt. But to pay money to watch this transaction? That would be downright moronic.

    Canelo is in a bad spot. The top names at 154 have a very good chance of beating him. He is coming down to a company of Charlos, Andadre and Lara, none of which are smaller than him, past their prime or one dimensional plodders. Smith is literally the only guy from 154 he can fight that is a sure win.

    You basically told me I didn't have a clue and shouldn't listen to Twitter rumours when I told you Canelo Vs Smith was going to happen and an offer had been made.

    So with respect I will ignore your prediction :lol:

    What should the bout tagline be for this fight?

    Every fight has one but what about this? "High Stakes"? "Battle of East vs West" "Easy Paper Title Grab?"

    any ideas?

    Going after the weakest titlist around. Couldn't be any worse than him picking it at another welterweight I guess.

    Right now it's being advertised as the give and take between two ruthless power punches (I am not making this up, read the article on bs or even here). I have a suspicion GB thinks all boxing fans are on the level of Kush and IsaL.

    I can't help but wonder what happens when canelo wont make weight. Will they pay Smith like Mayweather paid Marquez?
