I make him the favourite, sure. I've followed Smith's career for some time, and when he doesn't get dragged into silliness he's hard to beat if you're a much shorter counterpuncher yourself. The main doubt I have is that he wouldn't respect Canelo's power as much as he did Groves' and might make a mistake. But a favourite I make him.
Can't argue with you about Canelo being better-remembered by the general public. Reckon you're surely right on that.

Smith is so much bigger than Canelo, even I'd make him the favourite. Canelo isn't Jesus.

It'd at least be an interesting fight. This looks a bit pointless.

Shades of Sexton-Price!
My main takeaway is that Canelo wasn't worried about Fielding's power (at least not while he was able to keep backing him up), and for that reason I think I'd love to see Canelo-Groves.

Poor old Rocky. Just a lamb to the slaughter.
Canelo has developed into a great fighter. Think a few years back Matthem Hatton went the distance with him and Ryan Rhodes almost did.
Massive difference in levels there tonight.
How would Cabell handle Smith? I think he'd just chop him down. Too strong. Great fight though.
Rocky will have set himself up with that fight though. Good on him, seems like a nice young lad.
callums a total world apart from feldng and is massve. would not be small at 175. not really sure canelo would have any strength on him. remember callum destroyed feldng in about 2 mnutes. callums never been budged either...much more durable then feild
