Callum Smith believes there is no fighter capable of beating Canelo Alvarez and admits the Mexican was hard to time clean.
Smith suffered a first professional loss, succumbing to a unanimous decision to Canelo, who ripped away the WBA âSuperâ and Ring Magazine titles Super Middleweight titles, whilst claiming the vacant WBC belt in Texas in December.
The Brit had a height and reach advantage heading into the bout, but on reflection âMundoâ says the four-weight world champion was able to nullify his strengths with his masterful defence and insists if he was given another opportunity he would look for an early stoppage.

There’s really not much that Canelo Alvarez isn’t capable of. The Mexican ends an indifferent 2020 at the top of the tree after yet another masterful display, beating Callum Smith in Texas on Saturday.
Canelo (54-1-2, 36 KOs) negated a seven inch height and eight inch reach disadvantage to rip away the WBA ‘Super’ and Ring Magazine Super Middleweight titles from Smith’s grasp, whilst also claiming the vacant WBC crown, with a dominant display at the Alamodome.
