Whats better for boxing? A Canelo win or Golovkin win.

Canelo based on longevity. GGG does not have a lot of years.

If GGG wins, we'll see a big surge into boxing, but I doubt that GGG will fight beyond 38-39, so it'll be quick. We need someone who can maintain a high level for 10 + years.

I think the million $ question is against whom..

Golovkin. Canelo just followed the blue print that mayweather perfected "Take the fight that is the most rewarding at its lowest risk." Though only a simpler version. Golovkin will fight anyone.

Golovkin would be better. Hes holding things up with his quest for all the belts. He'll move to 168 and leave a void for the guys at 154 to move into that aren't willing to fight each other. I doubt Canelo would lose much of his fanbase, as its not really that bad a loss. With 160 free, youll have the area to make another star from the guys at 154. Those guys become more popular you have another load of big fights for Canelo

Golovkin would be better. Because we will get another 3 years out of good rematches.

If Canelo wins, then he moves onto cans again.

If Golovkin wins then there will be rematches.

If the fight would go down it wouldn't matter but I just don't see nela doing much it's a bad match up for him.

Canelo winning would undoubtable making him a far bigger star and garner much more mainstream attention for boxing. He is also the younger fighter which can be assumed that he would have more big fights in the future. However canelo winning will continue the form of ducking a fighter so they age and decline in skills.

Golovkin winning would make him a mainstream star but for how long? Already 34 he doesnt have long left in the sport. Potential match ups in the future with ward and degale look far more attractive with the added exposure Golovkin will recieve.

Personally even tho i prefer GGG as a fighter, i believe Canelo winning is far more important for the future of boxing.

GGG has to get by Jacobs...that's far from a certainty.

No doubt it's Canelo. GGG is on his way out of boxing. He's too old he doesn't have many years left so he won't give boxing a shot in the arm and won't carry boxing the next decade. Canelo based on his age and him already being the biggest draw has that chance to be the figure head in boxing for the next DECADE. Canelo win adds more money to the sport of boxing then a GGG win would add to the sport.

Also GGG if he wins won't get much credit because he's the bigger guy and 160 is his normal weight. Fans have been asking him to move up and fight bigger fighters for half a decade. If he win everyone will say he just picked on a smaller Super Welterweight, who never beat anyone at 160, rather then move up and fight Super middleweights. If Canelo wins he gets more credit for the win then GGG does. He'll be the slight underdog and will be knock off a boogyeman from a higher weight class.
