Canelo thought he won the fight

Yes and Andrade. Everyone has been avoiding him. Remember Charlos, Canelo and Andrade were all at 154 and they all have been avoiding him. Its a shame. I see Canelo taking at least another 2 losses if not 3 if he faces Andrade, Charlo or Benevidez at 168. Although I can see him getting a gift decision from at least one of them...maybe 2. The toughest fight being Benavidez.

 

Denial ain't a river in Egypt.

 

Canelo has a better chance at beating Beterbiev than Bivol or Smith.

What's your point? Bivol is way more technically gifted than Beterbiev, and Smith is awkward and ridiculously strong.

 

You think Beterbiev is easier than Smith? I would like to hear the reasoning on that.

 

who is Charlo or Andrade better than that Canelo fought at 154 or 160?

 

I already said why.

Styles make fights. Joe Smith can be awkward and unpredictable, similar to Maidana.

We all know Pacquiao is better than Maidana, but Pacquiao was outclassed by Mayweather while Maidana fought Mayweather almost on even terms.

Boxing 101. Styles make fights.

 

Reasoning is Blind fan boy. Forget 175, the talk of cruiser and heavyweight threads puts this to shame.

 

I don't see Smith as an awkward fighter but you may be seeing things I don't. He just seems like a very powerful fighter with subpar boxing iq to me.

 

Canelo's biggest mistake was parting ways with Adalaide Byrd.

 

By awkward I mean he's not a text book boxer or a text book puncher. He throws punches from any position and any angle he can.
