    I am sure he wants Canelo 1st. It's a bigger payday for him and he wants to prove he is better than Canelo with a win. Saunders will still be there after he fights Canelo if he beats Canelo.

      No chance. The Canelo II payday would be far far more than he can make fighting Saunders.

      Saunders belt doesn't mean a thing when there's a payday v Canelo to be had, that was already confirmed the first time they signed to fight.

        GGG will have a much easier fight with the Nelo rematch than Saunders. He already fought Nelo and already knew what Nelo brings. Saunders an unknown entity for him at this moment.

          Bigger payday with Canelo so it’s unlikely, as much as I would like to see it, that Golovkin will face Saunders first.

            Not by much. You're underestimating the UK audience. He gets the belts and even more for the rematch against Canelo. Not to mention we have no idea how much he's being offered right now.

              You can't seriously think Saunders is the hotter fighter at the moment...
              Canelo is the biggest star in boxing. BJS is a moderate star in his own small country and barely known in the rest of the globe.

                The bottom line is the bottom line. Just too much money to walk away from.

                  Saunders became a one hit wonder running around the ring with Lemieux. He will get stopped by Lil'G and thus not become undisputed. Only kat to take out Lil'G is my boy Black-Nelo 2.0

                    I don't think he has many u.k. fans. Canelo has fans from Mexico and u.s., Even if bjs has alot of u.k. fans id still be willing to bet canelo has far more. Hes just a bigger name

                      Canelo "ducked" LLLenady by fighting at JMW? By that logic MarGGGarita ducked Ward for "years" because Ward was just fighting 1 weight class higher.

                      Yeah, another MarGGGarita fan exposed as being a ****-loving sheboy
