    I'm not saying Canelo isn't the better fighter but is it possible Callum's natural weight at 175 is better and he is just stronger at that weight than 168?

    Massively. He beats Canelo at light heavyweight.

    Yes

    His weight bullying caught up to him and Team Canelo took full advantage.

    Drained of any ambition and incentive to win, it looked to me.

    Yeah that the 5 week camp and the fact smith can’t fight well on back foot apart from his catch and counter witch he found hard to implement against canelo and Ryder who are very short compared to himself.

    No he's just an idiot. He was a giant compared to Canelo and possessed the reach advantage. Instead of trying to jab him, he was fighting on the inside.

    Maybe he was maybe he wasnt. We will never know but what we do know is he agreed to the fight. When his sized worked for him at super middle weight where was his weight drain issue?
