    He's a legit middle weight. Derevyanchenko and Murata are still at prospect level. N'dam, Lee, Eubank are the only other options. Canelo and Charlo are not officially in the division yet. Other than a Jacobs rematch I don't see what other logical fight there would be until now and September for GGG.

      Getting that last title really makes Canelo look like a bigger ****hole than he already looks like if he doesn't fight GGG once GGG has all the major belts. Or it'll leave Canelo acting like he can't make 160 for awhile longer which is also damaging his rep & perhaps is shortening his career with losing more weight than he should be losing.

      So fighting BJS forces Oscar's hand just a lil more in making Canelo vs GGG for career high money for all parties. And maybe most importantly it gives GGG more of an action oriented offense in this Canelo thing than a reaction oriented defense which is what they had last year while waiting on Oscar & Canelo.

        After Saunders last fight, it's hard to say BJS v Golovkin is a great fight anymore. However, I still think there's a lot of reasons why it's a legit fight and needs to happen. Before it gets booked and everyone "takes sides", what's your thoughts on this?

        How legit of a challenge is Saunders still? Does it even matter and is the unification aspect more important than going after the biggest challenge (Canelo or Degale) right now?
        Unification is the only right answer.

        It doesn't matter how good BJS is, what matter is that Golovkin is a man who gave his word, and that was to unify the division before moving on to something else, and that's what he's been doing, and people who want to criticize him for not doing otherwise don't understand boxing, aren't paying attention, or have no moral compass of their own to comprehend what it means to respect a man's word.

            Unification fight. And BJS fight >>> mandatory defense against Heiland (WBC) or Tureano Johnson (IBF). And also it's a better fight imo than Jacobs 2. I don't mind a Jacobs rematch, but it was not an exciting fight and the judges got it right.

              Ricky Burns is unifying vs. Julius Indongo do you all give a ****? I bet the answer is NO. Crawford is the man they can hold all the titles they want. Canelo is THE MAN ( LINEAL ).

                  being undisputed is a great feat no matter how much a few mofos wanna downplay it. saunders is not trash but ggg is a beast so he shouldn't last too long. next goal should be breaking Hopkins record of defenses.

                      What do you play? I just picked up the guitar after wanting to learn to play just about all my life. Lessons the whole nine yards. In fact I was just looking into some DYI kits just so I can understand the instrument a little better. I figure I can tinker with a cheap kit I put together my self rather than ******* up the ones Ive dropped all the cash on.
