title against liam smith--- who wins ? http://www.boxingnews24.com/2016/06/lia ... elo-fight/

Canelo wins. But I'd presume the fight will be at 154 for Smiths fight.

Great opportunity for Smith if he can get it.

I hope Mexicans turn on Cowardo. Why would anyone support such a punk?

I don't think you are spelling his nickname correctly. It is either Cowardnello or Cayellow. Look at his twitter account, and you will see that many Mexicans are unhappy.

It'll be for Smith's WBO title, surely? There is no point in fighting an unknown (in the States) and unbeaten boxer if Saul doesn't get a belt.

Not a bad fight (Smith is pretty good), but not good enough as a reason of avoiding GGG. Fight with Jermall Charlo or Demetrius Andrade will be more popular

money they'll pay him top dollar to get that belt

I honestly believe Canelo would fight GGG.
I blame Oscar and I always will nothing can change my mind

There should be a third option of who cares
I would bet it would win the poll hands down

Canelo's a big enough star to force Oscar's hand,if he wanted the fight the same way Briggs wanted to fight Haye then this would be happening

To be fair, Briggs has turned out to be an absolute marketing phenom.

I don't agree. Canelo is a slave to Oscar and I honestly do not think he has the mental capacity to figure out he is a slave.

Just ignore Canelo , and hopefully he'll go away ...and too be honest i cannot really understand why anyone rates him so high ,, unless there past it ,, or fighting at Canelo weight , he does'nt really shine anyway ,, Floyd made him look stupid

At some point, GB and Canelo will realize that they would have been better off fighting GGG and showing some heart in a loss than to do what they've done here recently. Coughing up the belt and begin negotiating with other fighters at JMW. It's sad. I was really becoming a fan of Canelo too.

at Canelo vs Liam Smith

Lineal MW title baby!! The real champs!

Should really be for ring mag155lb title

I know Canelo is still young but he's wasting his talent. I agree I'd like to believe the issue lies with the promoter but if that's the case he needs to take charge soon. I remember him fighting Matthew Hatton at LMW for a world title so he's been pulling stuff like this for years

I can kindof picture Oscar giving Canelo this sales pitch like that dirty Senator Clay Davis from The Wire all about how they haven't turned on the fawcet yet but if he's patient they will have access to the never-ending rivers and stuff.

I got 9/10 on the quiz

When the PBC started, people were saying it would be a fixed WWE style joke with its own rigged champions.

But now,
Canelo/GBP created a 155 pound division ... with the help of HBO.
Canelo could be fighting for the Ring (GBP) fake title ... with the help of HBO.

How the whole lot of them continue to be considered the good ones amazes me.
