There was a lil'g groupie a couple of days ago blaming Canelo for canceling the Saunders fight, or at least not making it before the Covid19 shutdown.
Idiots.Comment

Yeah not sure what happened maybe Canelo watched the Derevyanchenko fight hahaThat's how I see it - Canelo retires him so if G can squeeze a fight or two in before that then it extends his career a bit longer.
Canelo did do a bit of a 180 on this though - he was real clear he wasn't interested in III with Golovkin, then suddenly its back on. Not sure why he doesn't stick with Plan A (Saunders) once the virus situation clears.Comment

This is a fantastic post and you maker so many good points, the G situation so closely resembles the way Manny & Kov are targeted it's so disappointing. Banks has been awful for G I watched the Derevyanchenko fight again yesterday and tried scoring it like a judge, and after G won the first 2 rounds he had an awful night. BUT he just signed that cool $100 million dollar contract so gonna have to fight it out.That's boxing for you. He's a name with history & he's ripe for the taking. Similar to all the 147 guys wanting Pac instead of each other or how everyone was licking their chops after the Kov Ward rematch.
I just don't think Gs heart is in it anymore. He was talking about retirement in the buildup to the 1st Canelo fight. That was 3 years & 5 fights ago. Since then he's gotten 2 big Canelo paydays & a massive bag from DAZN. At this point for him, what else is left to do other than help other guys make a name by beating him? This is prize fighting & hes already set for life.
Not to mention Banks was just absolutely awful choice in a trainer. I think he's actually managed to accelerate G's deterioration instead of slowing it down. Not saying he isn't a good trainer but he's just a bad fit for a guy like Golovkin. Can't help but feel like Robert G, Virgil Hunter, Buddy, Freddie, Joel Diaz all could have done so much more to preserve the last years of his careerComment
