    If DAZN allows this farce to continue they will lose their subscribers. You have Canelo seeking out fights against Brit SMW's while ducking a boatload of talent at MW. If he really wants to show he is tough, let his next fight be against David Benavidez. Nah, he just wants to showboat against lesser competition. This is really getting disgusting.

    I think put it on at Tottenham's next ground maybe, or Emirates.

    Good fight, would favour Canelo slightly

    Anfield maybe considering where Smith is from. Not sure this fight will get made, though. 'Very open' is very ambiguous...

    He should fight Beterbiev or maybe even Kovalev. Their walk-around weights are similar.

    Smith is not your typical dumb scouser. He's actually quite smart and his ring IQ is several levels above Rocky Fielding's too.

    Why isn’t Canelo fighting Charlo or Jacobs?! Charlo in Texas would be huge considering he’s from there and Canelo is a Mexican

    I didn’t call him dumb and I don’t think Scousers are dumb either coz I haven’t ran enough of them to make that generalisation, not that it matters in boxing. Mayweather is seems pretty ‘dumb’ he still is an excellent boxer.

    Smith has better ring IQ than Rocky for sure but his ring IQ, isn’t impressive to me. He has a rudimental defence of just tucking up, he doesn’t lead with the jab or use to set up his power punches consistently, no real head, body or feet movement.

    I'm seeing that kid more and more like this. He is a burly little ****er. And now his arms look primate long to me. I'm sure they didn't get longer but somehow his increased mass made it look that way when he was delivering those body shots last Saturday? I dunno. Wouldn't surprise me to see him comfortable with the taller guys of better skill as he advances at or north of 160.

    I don't think so, 50-60K at Anfield or maybe squeeze a few more in at Old Trafford. If it's held in this area (North West) It will draw a huge crowd. Maybe not so much in London.

    I would prefer these fights and hope he gets to them soon, but this is the **** we have to put up with now. Thanks Floyd and Manny.

    Drug Mule must have the following in place:
    • 5 pound rehydration clause for Smith
    • Stacked gloves okay (only for Drug Mule)
    • Handpicked judges (by Oscar)

    In Canelo and DAZN/GB's defense, this is a really good fight, Callum Smith is coming off of winning the Super Middleweight WBSS and stopping George Groves. While I don't rate Callum over the moon or anything, he's one of the top 3 SMW's at the moment, perhaps the overall best. So to get Mundo's scalp would be quite impressive. This is an incredibly dangerous risky fight for Canelo, one he can lose, and I won't give him an ounce of bull**** if he takes it.

    Well, it's an improvement over Fielding.

    Big move if it happened. I will be honest, id expect Canelo to go running straight back to the desert for that fight, Smith is a leap up from Fielding, Canelo is a better fighter there is no doubting that but Smith isnt dumb, he knows how to use his physical advantages when he has them over an opponent and with Canelo he will. Hes ofcourse the sports biggest dirtiest cheat of all time but seeing as its fine to do it how could i possibly pick against him.
