RIP MR. SMOKE
That knock down
Great performance.
Most impressive thing was his stamina. This was a high paced fight and he didn't slow down at all. Canelo is back.

damned mine eyes, DAMNED mine eyes!!
Yes he has been rocked in his early fights before being a champ. There was a youtube video years back showing those fights.
No. Smith is a hack...he has failed both times stepping up. Benavidez vs the Bivol/Beterbiev winner.
Who is he fighting next? Lol
Canelo isn’t nearly as explosive as he used to be, so a fight with David would be a huge war of attrition. With this non-prime version of Canelo, I do think you could have a lot of success throwing combos at him—because he is actually taking punishment and just waiting to land some wide looping punch off a counter (which most of the time does not land).
Regardless, he either needs to give up the belts or fight David.

Give up the belts to who?? David moved up to 175 now
He’s not fighting at 175 permanently. He said he’s not letting Canelo slow up his career. There was an opportunity at 175, so he’s going for it but he’s at 168er. You’re on this big everyday. You know this already.
He’s doing exactly what people say fighters should do when someone doesn’t want to fight them. “You gotta carve out your own legacy.”
David said, bet.

Well if he was interested in belts he would have just found another opportunity at 168 like Morrel who he avoided. Now that he moved up he took himself out of belt contention and will be back waiting to win the canelo lottery
His 2 step up fights - were both top P4P fighters in the world. Losing to prime Canelo and Beterbiev, don't make you a hack
Bivol/Beterbiev winner won't be settled, until late this year, or early next yr.
Benavidez needs another opponent for later this year. Smith is available and makes alot of sense

watching canelo post fight interviews
He looked like he was a spectator giving his opinions on the card

If he's truly carving his own legacy the why would he NOT be going to 175 permanently? Why wouldn't he be going for titles there instead of going back to 168 and putting himself back in a position for the "Canelo is slowing his career" excuse..
