Charlo has a good chance, I want to pick him or Canelo, but haven't seen any of them versus 160 fighters.
I don't think Saunders has a chance in hell. He can't punch, he squeaked by his best opponents, Lee and Eubank Jr in fights that could've gone either way.
I think Lara isn't getting any votes because nobody really believes that fight will ever happen. At least not while they're both in their prime.
The Lara fight will never happen unless he moves up and gets into the mandatory spot for one of the titles. He weighed in at 160 on fight night vs Vanes, he's just too small and doesn't punch hard enough to beat GGG. Sure he could run around and try to pot shot his way to a win but even Canelo with his cement feet was able to get to him and land just enough to beat him, GGG would destroy him, he's just too small.
I don't see anyone but Jacobs and Charlo and maybe Lemeuix that are even any good at 160 at this point anyway. A fight between any of those 3 would be a damn good fight IMO.
I voted Charlo. I don't think Saunders has a shot and I still think Canelo gets mauled. Canelo,is not Jacobs, he won't have the size or reach to give GGG any issues, he will eat that jab all night long.
Charlo seems to be the best bet right now, from the limited big fights we've seen from him, he's big, athletic and strong. The punch he landed on Williams to drop him on his face was nothing short of amazing with the the speed and accuracy and power on it. He's gonna be a handful for anyone at 160 IMO.

probably whoever he fights next. he is done. i had it 11-1 jacobs.
How in the hell did you have it 11 - 1? I mean don't get me wrong I thought Jacobs did enough to win, but I also realize it was a competitive fight.
I think Canelo with the right Gameplan can beat him I been posting this LONG BEFORE the Jacobs fight! Canelo is flat footed coming forward when he has to chase his opponent and cut the ring off BUT Canelo has good feet off of his backfoot and his best performances was vs guy who come straight to him which is what GGG WILL DO!
Canelo is very SLIPPERY and Slick in the pocket and if you're not fast and don't have fast hands it will be hard to land big on him, he also have good timing:

Canelo also got one of the best Uppercuts in boxing and we did see Brook land with his Uppercut on GGG!
Only styles like Mayweather and Lara beats Canelo Honestly IMO :dunno: GGG not as quick as those guys BUT GGG does have boxing skills and he does have one of the best Jabs in boxing that would land on Canelo. It is a fight that needs to happen and I think it will not this year though but May 2018 most likely!
Great post.
Exactly this - especially the thing about feet, Canelo's always moved well going back, and his feet have been very good in his last two fights. I think Canelo is getting better and better, he is peaking around now.
If he can neutralise GGG's jab early, its an easy night for him, if he can't it'll be tough but I still think he wins. These two guys are doing everything in a boxing ring at two completely different speeds and people will realise that in the first two minutes of the fight.
GGG's power, ring IQ, and jab keep him relatively competitive but I think Canelo will be running counters and combinations on him all night until he folds or the 36 minutes are up.
GGG is in his mid 30's. As time goes on, he's going to deteriorate. A younger, hungrier lion is gonna take that throne. Won't take much either. Just a guy who can take a punch well and has some skill really. It won't even take a monster to beat him in a few years. GGG's greatest asset moving forward will be his power, as he'll retain that into his 40's, if he chooses to box for that long. His speed, work rate, reflexes, and hunger will all go south soon. Unless he turns out to be a Hopkins or a George Forman.

I like Ggg, was a fan going into the Jacobs fight and I am still a fan now.
That being said Jacobs proved himself worthy, and considering how close the first fight was I think he can beat him in a rematch. Canelo has a chance too, along with Charlo. That being they lack some of the attributes that made Jacobs a good match against Golovkin. I still think Lara would not stand a chance against Golovkin.
Funny how ppl allways mention Feet like Canelo will run LMAO ,he will outbox GGG in centre of the ring and inside ,GGG have nice footwork but his not good like Larra or Cotto on them and Cotto couldnt run from Canelo,GGG will stay in range of trades ,he cant trade with Nelo if he want to win ,Canelo is all wrong for GGG ,idk how ppl can say GGG is all wrong for Nelo while he is perfect,Lara and Floyd are bad style for Canelo.
If GGG becomes undisputed middleweight champion and maintains his undefeated record until 2019 then 90% chance of him winning the Fighter OF The Decade award! :banana:
If he wins Fighter of the Decade, which started in the 1990s with Roy Jones Jr, he'd be the first to win it without:
1. Never having won a Fighter of the Year award in the entire decade(so far). Although if he beats Jacobs, Saunders, Canelo this year it will most likely be his first.
2. Having never moved up in weight like Roy Jones Jr(4) and Manny Pacquiao(8).
I'll wait till after Canelo-Chavez to pick. Canelo is a much different fighter than Jacobs.
GGG should still beat Saunders easily.
I'm gonna wait too, but i'm leaning towards Canelo. He needs to shine vs Chavez Jr though. If he can't do that, then he should forget about beating GGG.
I know GGG will beat Billy with ease, that guy sucks. I wouldn't be surprised if Chavez Jr could KO Saunders just like he did to Andy Lee.
Jacobs already proved he could do it but I highly doubt there will be a rematch. Canelo has a shot. He doesn't have the movement or power that Jacobs but he could vary his offense a little better. He could also be more aggressive because of his durability.
