He said there is a meeting so ask Dan if it's a fact. I'm glad it doesn't hurt your feelings that Dan is fat.Comment

Johnson was GGG's mandatory after coming off a win against Eamon O'kane. And GGG was gonna fight him if he didn't pull out with an injuryComment

The Ring title is a joke and doesn't represent the lineal title.
The Transnational Boxing Ratings Board are the closest thing we have to the keepers of a true lineal title, and they dropped Canelo from their rankings due to the PED suspension (as Ring should have done, but didn't). In order to become ranked again, Canelo would have to return and win a fight in the division.
Canelo is not the lineal champion. He has not won a fight at middleweight since May 2016. He had a draw which most feel he clearly lost against GGG followed by a PED suspension, he fought Chavez at catchweight, he fought Smith at junior middleweight.
The only way to crown a new lineal champion is for the #1 fighter in the division to fight the #2.
With Canelo suspended, that fight would be Golovkin vs Saunders.Comment

Canelo vs GGG wouldn't be for the lineal championship anymore.

And the champ never loses their belt or their status because of a draw. He was lineal champ last sept when he fought at middleweight he didn't lose the fight so he is still Lineal champ. Just like GGG retained all his belts despite not winning last Sept either.Last edited by bigdunny1; 05-22-2018, 02:50 PM.Comment
