A. Cement his legacy by facing the strongest challenge available then Canelo for 3rd fight,or
B. Cement his legacy by moving up to 168 to at least fight for a belt then Canelo or someone equally challenging.
C. Facing some more guaranteed win opponents,followed by a cashout vs Canelo
D. He can fight a champ at 160 & become Canelos roadblock to undisputed
E. He can face whichever of these choices but then retire afterwards without rematching Canelo
Depending on which of these choices he chooses will dictate how gggs career is remembered. How a fighter comes back from adversity can make them legends or remembered as unfulfilled hype.
I think GGG vs Canelo 3 is an excellent fight. It changes everything. It’s a more comfortable GGG and to be totally honest, Canelo’s strategy goes back to bout #1. The reason why I also don’t like it, is because Canelo haters and casuals exaggerate should Canelo fight like SRL and use ring movement to an advantage. As long as the “runner” gives back with punchstats then there’s no need for industry to make it seem like Canelo is required to fight ONE WAY all while GGGt’s team gets to fight a random way that wasn’t promoted as they themselves promised. This is how we know the hate for Canelo is real.
Also, I prefer GGG at PBC so that he can beat Plant at 168. It also gives Haymon options for GGG vs DeGale in the UK. Great options for GGG imho.
In years to come people will go back to the classic GGG Canelo series with new generations enjoying it. New generations aren’t obligated to agree with Lederman’s on screen scorecard as new age fans understand topics of bias and favoritism.
Great post.
I believe Ledermans score negatively affected opinions on the fight. As well as alot of other fights. Alot of that is because he scores fights on his own criteria rather than than the scoring criteria that officials use
Bread's column is the best thing on this site. And its looooooong as f#ck compared to some of these hacks paragraph & a half "articles" but always a joy to read & I'm happy to digest every word for his opinions & insight.
Well done bro.
I think you were the first to predict last year that AJ will fight Miller this year.
Good pik bro.

All realistic options.
I really hope he goes for option B.
But my head tells me he will go option C route.
