    Is GGG the biggest fight out there for Canelo?

    I would say Manny Pacquiao is the biggest possible name out there for Canelo to fight but I can’t see that fight ever happening unless Manny decides he’s going to retire afterwards no matter what.

    Kovalev might be a bigger fight than GGG. He has a big name and a lot of exposure like GGG but the fight is fresh and a huge challenge for Canelo. We’ll see how quickly Canelo jumps through divisions.

    I think Spence, Crawford and Thurman might be bigger fights too (assuming that they keep winning) but it would shock me if they moved up to 160 fast enough for Canelo to still be there.

    If one of the title holders because the guy at 168 or 175, they would be added to this list as well.

      The third Golovkin vs Alvarez fight is the biggest fight to be made in boxing so yes.

        Yes, but doesn't mean Canelo has to accept.

        I personally don't care for the third fight. I'm over it.

        GGG, fight someone else, fight a live body damnit.

        Fight Andrade, or Saunders, or Charlo. Quit chasing Canelo. Fight once or twice then pursue the fight.

          LOL at 37 years old that is a pretty silly idea fight Canelo for the trilogy.

            It is, but I'm sick of just not into a 3rd fight.

            Why? Because there are so many great fighters right now GGG can fight against and I don't know why he won't entertain the idea of facing them.

            Rolls didn't count. Just a damn sparring session. Didn't even watch live. Waited late night to catch the replay which I just forwarded to the knockout anyway.

              GGG was the champ not Canelo. When the champ loses by such a tiny amount with so many thinking he deserved the win he should get an immediate rematch. Canelo should have fought him in May instead of fighting a guy he already beat. It's clear Canelo wants GGG as old as possible. Does AJ have to beat anybody to rematch Ruiz? Did Canelo have to beat anybody after his draw to get another shot at the title. The truth is the GGG haters like you don't want GGG to get that 3rd fight with Canelo because you are afraid he will get the win this time. It's the biggest fight Canelo can have and DAZN will make him fight GGG next. It will be a big seller again even without you.

                Honestly it's not, it's just really not.

                I'm mostly just tired of GGG's obvious ducking of the middleweight division.

                There are at least 5 solid fighters he can fight. The fact that he keeps talking about Canelo is just lame.

                  GGG is by far the biggest fight Canelo could have. The first two fights were great fights and huge sellers. Pacquiao would never fight him. The welterweights won't fight him because they would all get KOed and they know it. Kovalev is not as popular as GGG and would not sell nearly as well. Canelo has no intention of fighting any 175 pound champion. That is just BS talk and not reality.DAZN wants the biggest possible fight for Canelo and I think they will force him to fight GGG next if they can. There is no bigger fight for Canelo, period.

                    I don't think there is a big demand for the trilogy GGG could've done more to build it up but all he has done was fight Vanes and Rolls in between Canelo paydays
