Lemiuex was as sh!tty a Champ as Smith, who won a vacant title vs a guy dropped 6 times in his previous fight only difference is you'll call one a great fight and discredit the other instead of calling both what they are.
No, Lemieux went through a respectable gauntlet prior: Rosado, Guerrero, and N'Dam. He was a very good champion, and he's still a good, legit fighter. Smith hasn't beaten anyone, zero. You're an effing idiot.
@ GGGstans trying their best to make Liam Smith an undefeated world titlist look like a prospect with less than 20 wins and a loss.
HAHAHAHA! "Undefeated world titlist," get Canela's vag out of your mouth. He won a vacant title against a guy that Monroe Jr. beats right after, cuck. Monroe Jr. beat the Vera that should've been coming in 1-1 against Chavez Jr. Smith, on the other hand, has beaten no one, zero. Can you name me Smith's best wins and why they are good wins?
Not one fighter you just mentioned has ever beaten a top level opponent including Lemiuex, what makes that good comp or some tough gauntlet. Was it the early KOs Dave took, or the 10+ losses Rosado has, or getting dropped 6 times the fight before like N'Dam.
N'Dam's wins against Stevens and Khurtsidze come off really good now. Who has Smith beaten that is even close to a fighter like N'Dam? No one, zero. You're just making idiotic rants right now that only the demographic would take seriously.
Deff not impressed with Saul atm, mainly for the bs posturing he did after the Khan win with GGG in the ring. Smith will hopefully give Saul a tough fight, but he will lose. Alvarez Tko7 Smith
The reason boxing fans are criticizing this so much is: 1) He says he needs to prepare for the 160 division, yet he moves down in weight to fight Liam Smith. Clearly he has no intention of fighting Golovkin and will boil down hard to make 154 to avoid him. 2) Liam Smith is the weakest of the 154 titlists, if this was Andrade or a Charlo people would be more interested.
Look man this debate would be worth something if you were willing to honestly assets things and drop the stanism. That's is the difference I have no problems being critical of a fighter I like while you guys make every excuse in the world for yours. Rosado has like 10 losses mostly to average guys and doesn't have a big time win to counter act that beating him isn't impressive or big. N'Dam got dropped 7 times the fight before Lemieux and another 6 vs Lemieux like that isn't a win to write home about either. I have no problem saying I'm not a fan of Alvarez-Smith guys like you will eat sh!t fight's like that from GGG every fight and have every excuse in the book why is not sh!t
For me the biggest problem is the hypocrisy of Canelo/GBP, saying he needs a few fights to adjust to 160 then going back down to 154. If he said he was a 154 fighter who just went to 155 for Cotto that would be ok by me.
Well Alvarez has said he is a JMW multiple times amd that 155 is because he had no title shot at 54, like 1lb isn't going down a division. All you heard every times it has been said is bs about being 180 which is false and how apparently a guy who has never fought above 155 would be picking on a smaller guy by fighting another JMW. Alvarez has been consistent in that whole stance for the longest, even with the GGG fight offered to fight him at the weight he won the title.
