    GGG-Canelo 3 would most likely happen at 168, not 160.

    Which would be to GGG’s advantage, as drying up and cutting water to make weight is no easy task at his age.

    Also, I don’t see Canelo going back to 160, after fighting ar 175.

    168 is my prediction for the fight, and that would give GGG a good chance.

    GGGeezer's face will be even worse than second fight at 168.

      Never heard of GGG struggling to make 160, he's stayed at 160 his entire career, if it was ever a problem, he had plenty of chances to go to 168 with a lot of guys there that would have been good resume builders.

      GGG is still very skilled, but he's not the same as he was a few years ago. As a boxing fan I can't wait to see GGG-Canelo 3, but it doesn't really seem like a competitive matchup anymore as Canelo is a couple levels better and at a weight he knows more. But getting past Bivol is no wure thing for Canelo, he's got a much better chance at losing vs Bivol than he does vs GGG right now.

        It is happening at 168, if it happens.

        That's already been confirmed.

            nelo looks very good at 168, hes only fought once at 175 and that was against a faded kovalev who did actually fade down the stretch as he can do but fought fairly well, bivol is a much bigger test than kovalev so its hard for me to see nelo going back down to 168 straight away for ggg, that would be unusual i think, if he does then fair play to him, but maybe he demands ggg join him at 175 in the end lol, i have no clue what talks have taken place so far tho

              GGG is old and has slowed down a lot. As a career MW that has never struggled to make 160 that extra 8 pounds will slow him down even more.

              He's 40. It's time to retire.

                Canelo’s 168 days are long gone now that he’s unified all the belts. If there’s a trilogy with Golovkin it’ll be at 172, maybe 171 the lowest.

                  Golvokin is always heavier on fight night than 160. He can fight at his usual/comfortable weight. He’ll just need to cut down less weight for the weigh in.

                  He always made 160, but it doesn’t mean it’s easy for him, and certainly not at 40 years old.

                    GGG can come anywhere from 160 to 168, if that what has been discussed and pretty much he agreed to it I don't see the problem.
