The first two fights were two of the better fights in recent memory, but the last half of the rematch was exceptional. Sometimes fighters, especially two fighters with heavy hands, need to get familiar with each other before they feel comfortable firing off their offense. I think like Pacquiao vs Marquez 4, the third Canelo vs GGG fight would be the best of them all, and in this case, possibly twice as good as the other fights, and truly the fight of the decade.
I think we will see something spectacular in that third fight. Now that GGG is with Banks, he's throwing more combinations, and he's going to the body more. But he's also a little more vulnerable than before defensively because of age.
I think we will see a better GGG offensively in the third Canelo fight, but a worse GGG defensively. This can only mean one thing, the best fight of the decade.
If Canelo can KO GGG, even at this stage, it's the biggest win of his career. And if GGG can get the elusive official W over Canelo, that would only add to his legacy even more.
There is every reason for every side to want to make this third fight.
you are wrong on both, interview was made by tvazteca a week before the fight, and canelos 35 mil per fight is a minimum, which means if dazn wants the fight they can offer him more money..
ggg is being paid 15 mil per fight, with an extra 10 mil if canelo fight happens, thats almost 40% upside, if canelo asks for a similar upside he could end up with 55 mil instead of 35... of course dazn doesnt have to offer that amount, just as well as canelo doesnt have to fight ggg...
im positive dazn will get enough revenue to cover those purses... but we'll se how bad they want this fight..
If dazn couldn’t force canelo’s hand to do the fight in September when it was a lot more meaningful than it is now, I don’t see them throwing more money at it going forward.
Right amount of money? Isn’t his contract pretty well a flat rate per fight? I thought that interview was after the fight.

look at canelos interview before ggg fought dervy, canelo clearly stated " i dont want ggg cuz it does no longer represents a challenge to me, but if they want to do it then offer the right amount" im just glad canelo said this before the fight, is 100% on point, ggg will be a cherry pick but for the right money he can use it as a tune up...

If canelo does take the fight, it will pretty well prove he was waiting for ggg to further erode. He can’t go from saying he’s done with ggg to suddenly wanting to fight him.

nope. nobody wants to see this worthless trilogy except triple flop fans.
theres no need for canelo to waste his time entertaining triple flop.
if you cried he was too old after the 2nd fight you will just cry harder after the third
zero interest in this.
tell little g to move on. he now owes derevy a rematch. and he'll most likely avoid it like the rematch he still owes jacobs.
triple flop is a DISGRACEJust how stupid are you? The Canelo vs GGG fight is huge and the biggest fight Canelo could possibly have. Why in the hell do you think DAZN signed them both for all that money and wants then to fight so badly if there is zero interest in it????? You give yourself with all your little g and tripple flop insults. You are just a classless hater who can't even show the respect to call a boxer you dislike by his right name.
That is fine with me considering he was robbed.
Nope, ggg got beat and it doesn't matter if you, Buffer or any other denier accept it or not. Ggg himself knows he got beat thats why he fired Sanchez.
Why? Why do you want to see a third fight? Both fights were wack! I mean it's going to be more of the same, plus GGG being older and slower, let's just move on from those lame fights.
Folks should be putting pressure on Crawford-Spence, LSC-Russell etc, ish like that.
After this dumb fight is over with, Canelo needs to fight Charlo and Kovalev should fight Bivol or retire.
Nah, not really. MW can just be a pit stop in Canelo's career. If he stay at MW then definitely, but if he's a LHW now 3G needs to bring his ass up too or stfu.
MW is a boring ass weight division and for the record I've always maintained Hagler is overrated.Middleweight a boring weight class????? What a strange think to say. Middleweight is the traditional weight class not 154 or 168. I don't think it's boring at all an it has some the best fighters pound fr pound. Hagler was a hell of a champion and fought the top contenders 4 times a year and ducked nobody. Who does that today. GGG would take the Canelo fight at any weight in a heartbeat. As long as it was Canelo he would fight him at 160, 168, 175 or 200. GGG doesn't need to stfu about Canelo because he said he has moved on and only talks about the fight when asked about it. All he ever says IF HE IS ASKED DIRECTLY ABOUT IT is I am ready if Canelo wants it.. What the hell is he supposed to say????
If ggg wants the fight so bad why does he not offer up his slice of the DAZN money to make the fight? Why does he keep demanding stupid non-starter stuff like having the fight outside of Vegas?
I have never seen such a bitter and sore crowd like the ggg cheerleading squad...from "fans" all the way to media. I mean even the way Buffer announces ggg before fights, he announces victories then he says "a split decision draw" and "a split decision loss" which is false because he lost by majority decision. I haven't heard that kind of denial for no other fighter.

Forget about it. GGG wants it. Canelo is afraid of it. It takes two for a fight to happen. Canelo will just say there is no need for a third fight because he would win so easily it's not even a challenge. In fact he has already said that.

Canelo will get no credit beating this version of GGG. No way he enticed Canelo with that performance, he hasn't earned another shot at the middleweight king. He can go to Japan and fight Murata if he wants to start his retirement tour, but if he really wants a shot at Canelo he will have to fight Andrade and unify two belts in order to be considered. B side problems.
I agree that it could be a great fight...I don't agree with some that the 3rd fight would have no KDs or KOs...I think as you said, this one may start out as round 25 between the two of them, and not round 1 of 12...if GGG really wants the 3rd fight, then go ahead I suppose...he looked not good vs SD, but if they can get Canelo to do the fight and GGG wants it, then let's do it...should be a very intriguing fight nonetheless.
Will GGG get KOed? Will GGG have anything left? Some good storylines and the fight would obviously sell very well.

- -Boxing nonsense is it?
Kov the bigger $$$.
Why? triple flop fans all they do is complain abt the fight. Canelo will gt no credit on fightg triple old. Canelo won cleanly last fight and sent triple fraud to siberia fr 1 yr. only to come back and fight toilet paper rolls. Canelo is fightg fr legacy now not elderly abuse. lol
