Canelo vs Golovkin 3 is still the most competitive fight out there for Canelo. This is no easy fight or easy KO for Canelo by any chance. I don't understand why no one thinks that Golovkin has no chance.
I think Golovkin won the first fight 8-4. I thought the second fight was a draw. I am all for Canelo vs Golovkin 3!!!!
i might be in the minority but i really wanna see a third fight and i also give golovkin a huge chance at upsetting canelo who would start a short favourite
I don't think it's the most competitive. But I think it is the biggest Canelo can make. Unless he goes to England to fight Saunders, which I think is a bigger money fight for Canelo.
Regardless, in order for any of these fights to happen next, Canelo needs to drop the WBC belt, that way Yildirim and Benavidez can fight for it, because no one wants to see Canelo fight Yildirim and he is 100% next in line.
Canelo can fight GGG or Saunders next, then fight the winner of Benavidez vs Yildirim, which is very possible it would be Benavidez.
I'm still not sure what Yildirim is doing at #1 on the WBC 168 rankings. Just more weird, nonsensical ABC rankings. His latest fight was a loss to Dirrell, he's beaten no one of note, ever, and has been KO'ed by Eubank Jr. Right under him you have David Lemiuex, another fighter who hasn't done much of anything lately.
It's like if you are breathing and campaign at a weight class, the ABC bodies will rank you. This actually gives me confidence because I feel like I can start a boxing career, KO 20 opponents with terrible records, like 4-15 type records, and be ranked as a top 10 in one of the ABC rankings. I will then finally step up from fighting bums and cash out against one of the top fighters for $500k, where I will get KO'ed in 1 round. Before doing any of this, I will start hyping my name up on twitter, calling everyone out, starting with Tyson Fury, Canelo, Beterbiev, Pacquiao and Golovkin, to link my name to top names. I will earn myself a $1 million dollar pay day, pay my corner, promoter, and IRS and leave with $500k, i'll be set. Retire 20-1-0 with 20 KO's and only 1 loss by KO, then get into the IBHOF for being exciting.
Why are people still clamouring for this fight? ggg isn't improving and canelo is still getting stronger and better. The outcome is not hard to see.
There's no evidence at all that Canelo is improving, he's just facing easier competition. I'm not clamoring for the fight though. He needs to fight Andrade or Charlo asap. Just saying GGG would be a better fight than Smith, Kovalev, Fielding.
Imagine GGG JMM's Canelo lol
he almost did in the 2nd fight. Canelo was shook in round 11
He almost KTFO Canelo? Yeah that didn’t happen. He buzzed him then missed like 10 punches
Gloveking needs to beat a live body for me to think it's going to be competitive
Him just sitting on the Canelo fight makes me think it's a cash out same as kovalev
Well, he arguably beat Canelo twice, which should be evidence enough that it'd be competitive. Maybe he has deteriorated a bit since then, but I don't think he's deteriorated so much that he'd get smoked anywhere near the way Callum did. I still think Derv's style is more of a nightmare for GGG since he just presumes you constantly for 3 mins of every round. Canelo can't fight that way against GGG as evidence by the fact that he clearly gassed in both fights. But then again, GGG's cardio seems to have gotten worse too, so.....

I mean even this version of GGG would give Canelo a much better fight than Callum Smith for the very simple fact that he can pump out that jab all night long and keep Canelo honest. I doubt he wins though.
If "no one thinks Golovkin has a chance" then how could it be the most competitive fight out there for Canelo
At some point the line will reflect what the people are thinking.
