#1 Canelo in September: let's be honest, there's no way they're passing up on a $10+ million fight payday at his advanced age in boxing.
Worst case scenario: No other fight except Canelo again in May, assuming their fight in September is extremely close or Golovkin gets robbed on the cards and fans cry robbery on Canelo's social media (cause we know he gets salty about reading the negative comments), thus, leading to a trilogy.
#2 Saunders in the winter: Maybe around January. I don't see them looking to focus on any other fight but Saunders to get the title of, "undisputed". More than likely, all the belts organizations will grant an exception since it's for all the titles.
#3 Option A: IBF mandatory needs to be done, so he'll probably need to fight Derveyankchenko, around probably May-June time period-ish.
Option B: Moves up for a big fight. Maybe against George Groves. I honestly think this would be the biggest money fight for him. I think this would be the best move for him if he's looking for one final fight to make money/legacy, although Groves is dangerous and a bigger opponent. Beating Saunders will probably lead to high interest in the UK for this fight if Golovkin starts mentioning a fight against who everyone considers to be the best 168 lber right now.
Option C: Retirement. To be honest, I wouldn't doubt him retiring is a potential option. He'll be 37 in April, and I don't see him fighting in 2019 to be quite frank. He made his fat paycheck against Canelo (likely, two of them to be frank), and closing out his career against Saunders is not bad at all.
