Golovkin Should Move Up After Canelo. He can Unify at SMW

[HeadShots]

Why wasn't it ok to move up when there was a top p4p fighter at 168?

why did ward say no at the HBO headquarters?

You're right, my bad, it was one of the Dirrell's I was thinking of. Knew it was a brother. Which is even worse. The Charlo's actually are top fighters.

You are right, Jacobs, Saunders, Charlo, and Andrade should be fighting each other. But they aren't going to, for the same reason that G isn't fighting them now. They all want the big fight, the big payday, and the chance to win and become a star and make numerous paydays. They know they are in position for it and do not want to risk it. G and Canelo are not in a different league than everyone else, in fact they might not even be the best mws. Many believe Jacobs beat G. Saunders and Charlo look as good as G did fighting opposition like G did. Charlo fought J-Rock at 154 though. I would love to see Saunders-Charlo or Charlo-Jacobs, but we won't. Because a fight against G or Canelo is about the same difficulty, same chance of winning, but at least two or three times the pay.

So why **** on GGG for doing what all of them are doing?

It is ironic, though, considering G fought inferior opposition his entire career until Jacobs. And then as soon as Charlo becomes mandatory, G is finally agreeing to the offer Canelo had out for a year.

What are you talking about? GGG fought the best middleweights willing to fight him. Jacobs fought the weakest possible opposition until he fought Quillin and GGG. Charlo had **** all to do with the decision to fight Canelo. That negotiation was long and drawn out but it was always the priority. And the deal for the fight was signed before Charlo became his mandatory.

Now I know fighting Heiland made Charlo the mandatory and fighting Centeno will give Charlo a chance at an interm belt. But once he has that belt no more excuses for soft fights at 160.

I think he would. No super middleweight is scary. All of them are very beatable.

Yeah but is there any money there??

[Raonic]

In the "real" world, Saunders definitely beats every middleweight aside from GGG and Canelo - and I am not saying he doesn't have the best chance of any middleweight of beating them.

The man is blessed with mad skills and now, finally has the fitness and discipline to fully exploit them. He made a complete mockery of David Lemieux, after loads of people on here and other forum posts said Billy Joe would be knocked out.

Well, let's finally see how good and true to his word GGG is, by taking care of business against Alvarez in May and then putting his belts up against BJS in a winner-takes-all-the-titles contest, later in the year. Jacobs has already had his shot and needs to earn that right, once more. If people think he walks over Billy Joe, all I've got to say is "don't be silly."

I don't know if he beats Jacobs but there isn't much from stopping that fight.

[The Viper]

If he beats canelo in the rematch and beats Billy Jo to become undisputed, he should move up........clean out 168 and retire....

[yankees7448]

Yeah but is there any money there??

Yea because the attempted fight with Eubanks Jr which swerved into a fight with Kell Brook shows that GGG is willing to go overseas. I think fights with the Groves/Callum Smith winner would certainly bring in more money. Same with James DeGeale if he can win back his belt. Gilberto Ramierez or David Benavidez would be big money fights on one of those Mexican holidays.

groves woiuld give him a scrap, could beat him

I wouldn't mind either 160 or 160 depending on the fight.

At 160 there's a possible Canelo trilogy, Jacobs II and Charlo.

At 168 there's Groves and Ramirez. I wouldn't mind seeing vs the DeGale or the Dirrell's either.
