Who’s GGG facing next?

Yeah I’d watch it, I had GGG winning both fights, was at both of them too. I’d expect Canelo to win the third though but by decision, I don’t see him stopping GGG unless he’s majorly declined since we last saw him.Comment

I do agree that he won both fights. In the second fight I don't see how you score the 12th for Canelo, but 2 of the judges did. If they hadn't, the fight would have been a draw.
Still, GGG will never get a fair shake on the cards against Canelo. Unless he dominates 8 or more rounds, he's not getting a decision. He has the chance to get legacy wins like Charlo, Andrade, or go up to 168 and fight for a belt there, but he's had 3 years now and won't do that.Comment

His last 8 fights are Kamil, Derevy, Rolls, Canelo, Vanes, Jacobs, Canelo and Brook. 4 top level fights, 3 OK-good fights, and 1 tune up. That run is as good as any active fighter not named Canelo. And that is at 35+. Pretty hard to hate on that, but go onComment

sadly it doesnt seem like he will be fighting anyone worth mentioning..but hey, he is getting paid and can retire in peace...Comment

GGG got his legacy ****ed in the canelo fights. Boxing aint a fair sport though. People aren't going to remember how he rallied hard to come back in that second fight, all they will remember is that he lost. Life aint fair. Ask Lara and Trout how losing to Canelo ****ed their earnings value. Lara should have been the face of boxing but it wasn't meant.
Question is what you gonna do about it? Continue to fight nobody and have your best wins be controversial decisions over Danny Jacobs or derby? Or fight the best in the sport, Andrade and charlo, and go for that legacy win that you don't have?Comment

I disagree. GGG arguably never won both fights. He may have been competitive but no robbery. Think about Whitaker vs Chavez. That was a BLATANT robbery. And no one today can tell you Chavez won, and that fight has done a lot for Whitaker’s legacy, maybe the most important fight in his career?GGG got his legacy ****ed in the canelo fights.

I think Lara lost to Canelo. Tough and competitive but not a robbery as listed above. Actually, Lara vs Williams was a terrible robbery. Not sure why you never mention that fight; but that fight actually increased Lara’s profile because everybody knew who won.
Still though, robberies are trash and whoever participates in them should be arrested, but Lara/GGG and definitely Trout lost to Canelo.Comment

No one worth a damn. Worst money DAZN ever spent.
Remember when people were saying that Golovkin was greater than Hagler and that he would crush Canelo? Yeah, that didn't quite pan out.Comment

lol. worst money DAZN ever spent is da trooof.
Notice how posters blame Canelo for the outcome. I'd say it was all karma for GGG stating 154-168 was easy since birth and never wanting Ward whereas we got posters here CRYING about wanting to see the best fights... ironic. When it was about Ward in the past you literally had guys saying ''why should he move up?'' or ''there's no money at 168..'' just nonsense whereas there are plenty of fighters whom had the star power as him before are ASKING for fights that boxing fans TALK about. It's rather sad that GGG diehards still bring up Canelo and are still crying for a trilogy. ''Conventional wisdom'' would suggest that IF YOU TRULY want Canelo, which I believe GGG doesn't, then he wouldve already exercised his IBF position and challenged Plant. This way Canelo would have to see GGG anyways for Undisputed. This is what many fans SURPRISINGLY don't understand, roadblocking... instead, Canelo haters are more obsessed with ****blocking! lolComment
