    After GGG's last fight no longer care to see this now. Saying that if GGG didnt look so bad he probably wouldnt be getting Canelo next

    A couple things to consider, Rolls was a stay busy fight. No different than the bums Canelo has fought over the years (Beefy Smith, Fieldibg, etc). Those guys had literally no chance of winning. GGG wants a third fight with Canelo, the guy many people feel is PFP number one in boxing. A guy many feel GGG has already beaten twice (or at least once). Is that not a big challenge?

    Smith is a naturally bigger, younger fighter. Again, I think he would beat any of the guys at 160, including Canelo. I would take Smith hands down over the version of Kov that Canelo is facing. Smith is too big, strong, fast and prime for 38 year old GGG. A few years ago, it would have been a competitive fight. Today, he soundly beats GGG and probably injures him. It would be foolish to choose such an opponent. Do you really think the Spence fight was good for Mikey”s legacy? They have weight classes for a reason. Also, there is a reason Canelo chose a faded, older opponent in Kov. Young Kov would have destroyed Canelo worse than Smith would but age and Canelo’s track record of favorable judging makes it a competitive fight.

    GGG just fought a tough southpaw and was lucky to walk away with the W. He got hit with more power shots than he’s ever been hit in any fight. Moving up to face a younger, larger, faster guy would be the dumbest decision he could make. If you hate the guy and want to see him injured, I get it, Smith is a great choice, but if you like boxing and want to see a competitive fight, expecting a 38 year old guy who is showing serious signs of aging to fight such an opponent is foolish.

    Trout and Jacobs weren't robbed. People think Trout was robbed but it was snowballed from the uproar that the corners were given the scores the judges had after the 4th and eight rounds of the fight. Jacobs made it close but lost. Lara and GGG were robbed in daylight.
