Canelo-GGG III feels like a damp squib.

    We already know GGG needs to clearly win 10 rounds to get a decision and he won't. Neither guy is getting stopped either. Canelo by UD and one really ridiculous scorecard as usual

      I told you he needs to beat somebody we rate. Can you honestly say Benavidez is more deserving than Golovkin of a Canelo payday? I wouldn’t be opposed to Canelo-Benavidez at all but let’s not act like he’s earned that fight.

      I think you’re blinded by your love for Benavidez tbh man, it’s cool if you swing that way.

        I doubt it tbh. The second fight only did 1.1m on HBO, there’s no way an app does around the same numbers as HBO did.

          It's a great opportunity for Golovkin. Imo this is a bad move for Canelo but I guess he has to fight him sometime this year? Golovkin has been wrongly disregarded by boxing fans in such a way that Canelo can't look anything but spectacular. Golovkin is still VERY dangerous. Mungia and Charlo would be easier fights.

            Can I honestly say the double 168 WC, current interim champ, undefeated fighter who has destroyed everyone he has faced, is more deserving to fight the undisputed 168 champion, more than a 40 year old middle weight, who has not been relevant for years?

            Are you taking the piss?

            PS - no way this does close to 1 million buys imo.

              GGG is still far more relevant than Benavidez. It’s not even close. You’re delusional when it comes to Benavidez brother.

                GGG has 14 wins vs top 10 opponents, not to mention he has unified twice and he beat and got robbed against Canelo twice already.

                Benavidez has two wins against faded champions, one of whom GGG already stopped in his prime.

                  He has only fought 2 times in the last 3 years, and that was vs cans, is 40 and never fought at 168. You are totally out of your mind. Why do you think the vast majority of people are demanding a Benavidez fight, and nobody gives a crap about a 3rd GGG fight?

                    You might as well bring up calzaghe's resume and pretend he deserves a fight more. Problem is we are talking about 2022 relevance not 2015.
