    Canelo would be lucky to reach his chest. We also have weight categories. Callum Smith has a 8 inch reach advantage and with his jab Canelo would struggle to get past it.

    Another one who doesn’t understand how bookies set odds. If sky bet are “terrible at setting odds” all that means is the betting public disagrees with you. Not a bad look for you as if history has taught us anything it’s that the majority are always wrong, but it bears no reflection on the bookies. Their job is to price the market, not predict outcomes, they leave that to the mug punter.

    Doesn’t mean for a second he’s the best super middle on the planet.

    He has one great win.

    He might be the best on the planet but he’s 50/50 vs both benavidez and Ramirez.

    Come on, height isn’t everything in boxing.

    Think Mike Tyson, julius long, tommy Langford etc etc.

    Canelo is elite, Smith hasn’t proved he is elite just yet.

    Canelo hasn't proved he is even world class at SMW. Compare his performance v Fielding to Smiths against Fielding, bet its no were near as good.

    I am very chilled out. Of course you can't compare till after Canelo fights Fielding.

    I said compare his performance v Fielding and compare it to Smith v Fielding. Well obviously you can't compare it before they fight, I never suggested you could or should lol.

    Pointless comment anyway.

    Triangle theories have been proven to not be accuarate in boxing.

    Floyd is actually a little taller than Canelo regardless of what the listed heights say

    Alvarez would get busted up by Smith

    Smith hits much, much harder than GGG
