Who Does GGG Fight Next?

I would guess it’s Steven Butler, Jason Quigley, Rob Brant, Jeff Horn or Chris Eubank.
Butler is highly ranked by some organizations and GGG could satisfy DAZN with the Canadian market aspect. It’s also n easy fight to make because Butler is with Golden Boy.
Quigley is highly ranked by some organizations. He’s also Irish so the fight would draw a big crowd and ratings for what it is.
Brant would give GGG a title fight and probably be an easy fight.
Jeff Horn is highly ranked by some organizations and the fight would draw big interest and ratings because Horn is a hero in Australia.
Chris Eubank would be a borderline super fight for GGG because of Eubank’s celebrity and what he just did to DeGale, without all the risks of a super fight.
I want GGG-Canelo. If not that GGG-Andrade, GGG-Charlo, GGG-Jacobs 2, GGG-Derevenchenko or GGG-168 pound champ.

And who would you like to see him face next?
Andrade would be my personal choice also.

If Canelo moves up to fight Callum or Kovalev I think he gots to fight Jacobs in a rematch or Andrade for his paper title. If he fights another bs opponent like Rolls he's risking getting passed by for May 2020 too. He needs to stay relevant & take some one else outta the mix & the top two options are Jacobs & Andrade. Andrade cuz he gots a belt & too many people seem hyped on him lately so you swipe his thunder by beating him. And then with Jacobs that'd just be a big fight since they fought once before in a fun fight. Probably have to be at a catchweight, but w/e.

GGG should fight a world champion next but not Jemall because he would only be a jr champ and everybody still thinks of Canelo as the real WBC middleweight champ. GGG could fight the WBO middleweight champ or fight Saunders or Smith at 168. All excellent fights and if he wins he is a full champion not some under champion to Canelo. He could use up his last 4 fights defending his new title and Canelo would have to come to him if he wants his belt. I am not saying he beats these champs but I think he could and he should try. He gets paid win or lose so why not fight the best available and if a Canelo fight comes great but many think he already beat Canelo twice and got robbed. So if he never gets that third Canelo fight it's no big deal.

Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostSounds good to me…. But I have a feeling he has another fight at like 164 or SMW. That's where Jacobs rematch makes sense since he is moving up.
I’d prefer GGG to fight for a title at 160, I’d like to see him add another credible name to his resume at 160.
I’d probably like to see Jacobs go to 168 and fight Callum Smith.

Contrary to what some think, I dont believe he needs to fight a particular standard. Hes no longer a title holder, so theres no reason he should fight at title standard unless he wants to go that way.
Admittedly Rolls was a shocker but only becuase of the contrast between elite LMW Canelo and Rolls to follow.
Why shouldn't GGG just face a string of cans if he wants to? Its his career, not yours.
Though obviously if he wants to become a contender for a title again, then he needs another solid contender.
