Canyellow v smith

[Pureist]

GBP have offered Liam smith a canyellow fight according to smith, seems Saul canyellow doesn't want to negotiate a fight with GGG

it's not even a guarantee smith will get by his next cherry picked opponent.
smith knows his days with a title are numbered and this and cotto are by far
his best chances at a big reward for getting his hands on that title. for canelo,
it would be his easiest path to another title at both 154 and 160. oscar probably
believes canelo could earn almost as much taking that title as he could fighting
lara again or one of the charlos, setting up a unification fight without the issues
with mandatories the other titles have (wbo rankings are usually the weakest).
i'm thinking in order to get the khan defense, 3G made canelo agree he couldn't
fight saunders next. saunders would be a lateral move and bigger fight than
smith, but it just continues the 3G drama at 160 and saunders would be a riskier
fight than smith, so canelo might not have gone after saunders anyway. another
154 title keeps all canelo options alive in both divisions. this makes the most sense.
keeps the canelo gravy train rolling.
