    Its insane that Charlo hasnt fought in 28 months and the WBC hasnt stripped him for it and is letting him face a non title defense fight against a super lightweight.

    WBC is a trash organization. They said that Bivol cant fight for Canelo's 168 title, blocking him from the right to become undisputed there.

        Curious what your signature win is? You'd be gargling his balls if he were a few shades darker. No one said he was the greatest fighter who ever lived but his accomplishments (I'm assuming you can read so I'm not going to list them all for you) certainly are worthy of consideration in the HOF. And regarding "signature wins," many many reputable people find the results of the the first 2 fights vs. Canelo to be highly debatable.

          He's retired.

          If he wants to come back... whatever.

            GGG is ATG status and in the same breath and conversations of the greats.

              All timer talent, power and top 5 ever in the best chin department. He never got dropped or really even hurt.

              Ducked by many big names. Beat Canelo twice. Class act.

              1st ballot hall of famer. Retired healthy, wealthy and senses intact. Kudos GGG. You made the sport better.

                Imagine if Canelo had been in his late 30's and GGG had been in his 20's when they fought, GGG would have wiped up the floor with Canelo. And Prime vs Prime, GGG would clearly win.

                  GGG was a class act. In his prime, he was the most-avoided fighter in a generation. I agree with the other poster who said he beat Canelo twice. Had GGG been American or Mexican, the Las Vegas judging mafia would have scored him the winner of all three bouts with Canelo because even #3 was close enough to go either way.

                  The worst thing GGG ever did was ditching Sanchez. It was a colossal mistake, ugly and personal, and marred his career. That said, he’s still definitely HoF material.

                    You spent how many years hating this man? Let it go, man was so trash he took your slurping fountain into deep waters in all three fights even after long being on the decline couldn’t put a dent in him, but here is one thing Canelo will never have on his resume or list of achievements “being a clean athlete” swallow that with his most recent load

                      Good article. Golovkin is a beast in the ring.
