GGG's 37 and looked like garbage against Derevyanchenko. I would've been interested in the trilogy, had it taken place immediately after the rematch. I think Canelo beats GGG convincingly in a 3rd bout.
Alvarez Interested In 3rd Fight With GGG

If you respect the ratings of Ring Magazine GGG just had a war with the Ring's number 4 middleweight and fights Ring's number 6 middleweight next. Who else besides Canelo is fighting Ring's top 6 contenders back to back? Not Andrade, Jermall, Smith or Saunders for certain.This has probably been in the works for a while...having them fight in September of this year...DAZN had to placate Canelo a little bit I bet...since Canelo is such a big star, he doesn't like to be told what to do...but he knows where his bread is buttered as well.
So while DAZN has had its eyes set on Canelo-GGG since they signed GGG...they had to give Canelo some leeway and make it seem like they weren't forcing him to take the fight.
If GGG is going to keep fighting though...it should be Canelo or another real test later this year...at his age I don't mind going 1/1 from here on out for tune ups/hard fights...but if he can't compete at the top level anymore he should just hang 'em up...so a fight later this year should hopefully tell us something.Comment

Yes round 9 was good for Manny...but still a 10-9 round on my card and I think it was only a 10-9 round.Everybody has a right to their opinion. If you really think Horn deserved that home country robbery win over Pacquiao my opinion isthat is a really horrible wrong opinion. By count from neutral punch counters Pac landed twice as many punches as Horn. I know the punch stats can be wrong but not so wrong that the man they say landed twice as many punches lost the fight. Also Pac almost knocked Horn out in round 9 and Horn was allowed to fight an incredibly dirty fight that would have cost him points or a DQ anywhere else.
I watched that fight with clear eyes and I saw Horn bully Manny around the ring at the beginning of most of those rounds...the stats in my view were very even...I think punch stats generally get it right, but at the end of the day, it is just a couple guys counting punches.
Horn was doing a lot of work in there...and I saw a lot of it scoring...not sure how anyone could say otherwise.
That fight and the reaction to it honestly makes me want to watch Pac-Bradley and score it...I feel like maybe some of the claims of 'robbery' are overblown there as well.
GGG has fought very very good competition the last 6 fights...better than anyone else in the world really...him and Canelo really stand alone thereIf you respect the ratings of Ring Magazine GGG just had a war with the Ring's number 4 middleweight and fights Ring's number 6 middleweight next.
