Callum Smith was very much in his prime, and a far less drained version than the one who fought Canelo. Ryder beats Euro Level fighters like Nielsen, Cox, Akkawy and Parker with ease. Also proving he's not Euro Level.
@UnleashtheFURY Fine maybe terrible injustice was a bit hyperbolic... Aside from that, I stand by my comment. I've had both of them winning, I've gone back twice, rewatched and rescored it, initially had Ryder by a point, then Fielding by a point, and back to Ryder winning it by a point. But I'm sure you saw that post as well, while doing a search, in your bizarre obsessive attempt to show me up. Thanks buddy, I appreciate it.
Canelo, over 60 fights spanning a 17 year career, he'll be 33 this year amazingly, it has to go downhill at some point. I don't know if Ryder is the guy to pin another L on Canelo but he could make it difficult. There are definitely easier stay busy fights I see guys taking.
