What's the best replacement fight for May5 IF G3 pulls out or Caneloterol gets banned

[Rockybigblower]

Its Cinco de Mayo so we definitely need a mexican. How about Manuel Charr vs Tony Thompson?

Not necessarily... For example, Floyd fought Pacquiao on Cinco de Mayo.

Anyway GGG has a Mexican style of fighting and that would be enough for May 5.

No way in hell Billy Joe Saunders fights on Cinco de Mayo, Saunders definitley NEEDS his 8+ weeks of training to be in shape for a top fight like this and I don't think he's been training at all. GGG and Canelo won't know if their fight is going on or not till April 10th, which is 3 weeks before the fight so they can't even start training for Saunders or anyone else for that matter until April the 10th, and you can't get ready for a world class southpaw in 3 weeks after training for 5-6 weeks for a completely different style. Fight with Saunders can't be made that quick, no way possible.

Did that Manuel reference go over your head?

Yeah I'm aware there's no Mexican in there.

Saunders already in training, he's supposed to fight Murray on April 14th but that was postponed to June. Saunders already jockeying for the best position in case Caneloterol is banned or GGG pulls out.

Damn you are right! I didn't know about that Murray fight at all. So Saunders can actually be ready on May 5th, but can GGG be ready for Saunders on May 5th if he started training for him on April 10th? I don't think so.

There is no replacement. If Canelo can't fight, the fight will be scrapped. Then Team Golovkin will have to wait to face BJS in Nov. or Dec. Either that or face Charlo in September.

GGG will fight on May 5, with or without Caneloterol....

Link: Gennady would still fight May 5 if Canelo is out.
