The 31-year-old Vargas also spoke about who Canelo should fight next. Alvarez takes on Smith in a high-profile fight in which he will look to make a big statement in the super-middleweight category. However, the former champion thinks otherwise. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Jessie-vargas-1.jpg] Speaking to Fighthype.com [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRPLWocdcEU] on YouTube, Vargas said, “In boxing, anything can happen. One punch can change it. This is Callum Smith’s division so…” While he didn’t explicitly say so, Vargas believes Smith [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/callum-smith/] will be the favorite and will not be an easy opponent. However, he also maintained that either fighter could win with just one hit. We saw this in the face-off and weigh in where Smith has a much greater height and reach advantage over the Mexican. Smith stands at a towering 6’3” while Canelo is a modest 5’8”. This had many fans and critics suggesting that Smith could easily pick him apart. However, Canelo has fought others similar in stature and as a former champion, he would be prepared for all types of challenges including the ones he will face against Smith.
