Cuz out of his last six fights, 4 of them were showcase fights. Fighting guys that wouldn't harm Canelo and also make him look good. If you want a highlight KO reel, call up Amir Khan as your opponent. If you want to get your heavy bag work in, you call up Liam Smith. Essentially, Canelo hasn't really faced legit opponents in his past 6 fights with exception to Cotto & Lara. So who will be the next showcase opponent?R Rosado? He could take a beating. So I say him.
I felt like Smith was a punching bag. We were watching the fight last night and my brothers GF said "wow Canelo doesn't have a mark on him, why not?" I told her "If you were hitting a punching bag, would you have marks on your face?" Se laughed and agreed. "Yea that Smith guy is like a punching bag"
