    "I would have taken the fight at 155. I can make 155 and I can even do 156. The negotiation was [for] 154 and I understood why because he has to save face. To look respectful for him to give his middleweight title up - he has to come back 154. That's why I was always confident I could get the fight," Smith said during a Q&A session on Reddit.
    "It would be embarrassing if he ducked Golovkin and didn't [fight me at 154]. I knew he had to come to 154. From their point of view, he beats me and is back as a champion at 154 [and then he can say] - 'I can make 154 I'm not fighting GGG at 160.' That was their excuse."


    Smith is telling the truth and I think Canelo is in for a long-tough night with Smith. :yep

    I went off Canelo for his actions but now he's being a slime ball by talking about his next opponent whilst he already in a fight,the guy is totally disrespectful.

    Would be so great if Canelo can't make the weight for the Smith fight, I'd pee myself laughing if that actually happened.

    Wait, so Canelo loses his lineal MW title after he beats Smith???

    Smith just dropped a truth bomb on Canelo.

    Imo, the media should flat out be honest and say to Smith, "Canelo picked you because you were the easiest titleholder to fight at 154 and that's 100% guaranteed you're gonna lose, if canelo can't decisively beat you, the judges will do it for him, what do you think of that?

    That's also true, and I'm pretty sure he knows that. He's basically selling his WBO belt to Canelo in this case.
    But, that doesn't make his statement any less true.
