    You have to beat at least a top20 opponent to be top10, Smith hasn't.

    At least he's fighting at 154 I suppose. That's about the best I can say.

    What's Liam's Smiths best win? I'll wait....

    If he wanted to build his brand in Europe Saunders would have been a better choice. Honestly my anger about this fight has nothing to do with Golovkin. This is The worst choice Canelo could have chosen, and Canelo has a lot of options. If you're going to fight 2 times a year both on PPV you have to fight better people than Liam Smith.

    That's a bad example though because Rios was drained to zombie and got stopped for the first time in his career.

    Based on him being more accomplished, with wins over Chudinov and Spike and a razor close loss to Saunders, a legit top5 MW.

    PS: I'm not saying Eubank would beat Canelo, he wouldn't. But he's definetly better than Liam Smith.

    He at least fought against Saunders in a very close fight. Liam Smith hasn't fought anyone over c- or d level.

    What does that have anything to do with Smith being a top10 LMW or not?

    If you want to say Smith is better than Rosado I'll agree with you. But that was before Golovkin was well known and it wasn't on PPV.

    It has nothing to do with it.

    But the people who defended Canelo for not fighting Golovkin are looking more stupid by the week so they have to try and defend this rubbish too.

    GBP and Canelo sold them a pack of lies and they bought them all so they feel silly, prepare yourself for months of this.
