Forget a third fight. Let’s see them fight someone else now. Ggg vs the winner of Saunders-Andrade or Jacobs-Derevyanchenko. Canelo vs someone else as well. Let the third build up and happen in 2020.

Dubious omission of some
Jabs in these stats, Canelo ate them all night

Compubox stats are bull****. Don't need them to know Canelo landed the harder shots in the majority of the rounds.

GGG 8-3-1 in landed punches.

Canelo 9-3 in landed power punches.

Those power punches often win the day for mfers. I think they just look more impressive to the judges then a jab looks.

I would agree to a certain extent. In 2020, GGG will be 38 in April. Every fighter doesn’t sustain a certain level of being an effective fighter from 38 and older.

Even Mayweather looked “ok” against Manny and Berto at 38 years old. Bernard Hopkins was the exception to the rule because he beat Tarver, Winky Wright, Murat, Pavlik, Cloud, and Pascal at 41 thru 49 years old. And Hopkins was competitive in losses to Calzaghe & Dawson after 41 too. Ironically, BHOP beat Oscar when he was 39 years old. And he beat HOF’er William Joppy at 38.

I think at the most, each should take (1) fight against another opponent and fight early 2019 while GGG has only aged (1) year. Maybe Canelo can fight Jacobs if he wins since Jacobs is talking about how easy he can beat Canelo. And Saunders has been chirping for some time about GGG. If Canelo & GGG can score dominate victories over those opponents, their 3rd fight is huge and still sellable. And GGG would be 37 years old and Canelo 30 years old. But GGG is no BHOP or FLOYD.

Canelo once again outlanded him in majority of rounds with the punches that matters most: power punches.

These compubox stats don't seem accurate, they neglect GGG's jabs and overstate Canelo's power punches. For one, Canelo threw a lot of power punches but many of them were blocked/parried, I bet the latter were counted for landed power punches. It matters HOW a punch lands, if it's grazing vs a flush shot there is a world of difference in terms of scoring fights but compubox won't be able to detect the difference. And I definitely saw GGG solidly land his jab all night long which should be reflected on these stats.

No matter what boxing gym you ever walk into the first punch you will learn is the jab. It's the most important, most effective offensive and defensive weapon... A power punch may look more effective simply because it does more damage physically but anyone can throw a power punch to jab properly and time it against your opponent is a skill.

[Jab jab boom]

While canelo fought well, it's the same old story in all of his fights when it comes to judging. He ALWAYS gets the benefit of the doubt in close fights from judges. He's never had a close fight scored against him and he's the only guy that I can recall that has 4 fights on his record where he was outlanded overall and round by round but didn't lose any of those fights on the cards.
