    Charlo isn’t going to fight on DAZN so it isn’t even worth talking about

      Given promotional differences, a Charlo fight would be tough to make and ggg already passed on Andrade to fight the killer Steve Rolls, probably.

        I think he's going to get a Canelo trilogy fight in September. If he doesn't get that fight he might take one of them on but my guess is he'll move up to challenge someone like Billy Jo Saunders for a belt to further push Canelo for that rematch.

        It sucks for Charlo, Derevychenko and Andrade because those guys deserve the opportunity to fight one of the big names. Unfortunately for them I think he knows he's got one foot out the door and his best chance at securing his legacy is to finally get that victory over Alvarez.

          If Andrade is serious about his career he should challenge Derevyanchenko and try to beat him better than GGG did.

          That would be a good narrative to get the fans to rally behind an Andrade vs GGG fight.

          It would be good for Derevyanchenko too. If he beats Andrade, then it's a good sell for the GGG rematch as they will be u unifying the IBF and WBO titles.

            Yeah good post man...I would like to see SD in with Charlo or Andrade...if Andrade can just be competitive and go 12 it is a rather safe enough fight for him too if on DAZN...SD never seems to get a decision and I couldn't imagine him getting one in a close fight vs Andrade either.

            SD-Charlo would be good too but I rate Andrade a bit ahead of Charlo, and I think that is a dangerous fight in a way for Jermall, as far as him possibly getting shown up...but at the same time if he can do well against him it really gives him some shine too.

              Andrade already pulled out against Derevyanchenko so I doubt way he'll give any kind of battle with GGG

                Actually I think Charlo would have an easier time against Derevyanchenko.

                I think Andrade is better than Charlo skill wise, but styles make fights.

                Derevyanchenko is an active, come forward fighter, and he doesn't do a lot of clinching or defensive spoiling tactics. That is right up Charlo's alley.

                Charlo has mostly struggled against slick, defensive spoilers like Adams, Trout, and Koborov, come forward fighters like Derevyanchenko play right into his strengths.

                It would still be a very good fight though.

                  Yeah I would give Charlo a decent shot against anyone with his athleticism and strength...still not sold on his boxing skills at the top level yet...but he would be a live dog vs anyone...I would definitely like to see him vs SD...if he can look good there that would be a big feather in his cap.

                  Yeah SD-Andrade could go a bit like Andrade-Culcay I suppose...Culcay SD just had a close fight which I felt Culcay was better when I watched live...would be interesting to see if Andrade has improved any from that fight with Culcay and could deal with SD's pressure/activity and swarming.

                    SO far GGG has never unified purely in fights, so no.

                    He did try to unify lineal and the IBF in the ring on one single occasion, but failed.

                    So all the evidence is against him.

                      I think it's about even money he fights one of them and very unlikely he fights both of them. Those are hard fights and he is very old. He is not going to fight both of them in his last 3 fights. If Canelo changes his mind and fights GGG then than he will fight neither of them. It all depends on what happens so it's hard to say in advance. Off topic will Jermall and Andrade ever fight each other? If Canelo returns to 160 will he fight Jermall or Andrade? If Canelo goes to 168 will he fight Callum Smith? If Canelo stays at 175 will he fight Beterbiev ?
