    I would be all in favor of that, so long as the winner of that fight, whoever it is, gets some credit.

    Tonight showed GGG still has something left. Whoever beats him in the near future should get props.

    Charlo-Andrade with the winner facing GGG would be nice but idk if PBC would go for that.

    Will be interesting to see where DAZN wants to take GGG after this fight. Have to think they still want him vs Canelo, especially with them going back to back this weekend.

    Either way would love to see GGG in vs 1 or 2 more good opponents before he hangs them up.

      You don't think Canelo's resume is significantly better than Golovkin's???

      Explain that. Using "just the facts."

        Indeed, I thought he looked sharp and even showed a little slicker than usual head movement here an there in there!

        Anyways, whether it’s Golovkin-Mall Charlo or Golovkin-Andrade an even Canelo-Golovkin 3 then I’m all for it!

        Heck even a Mall Charlo-Andrade, Canelo-Andrade and Canelo -Mall Charlo, those are all incredibly good fights that fans would watch!

          Looking ''slick'' vs a Kamil level bum

          Jeff Horn would have done it to

            Yes I hope in any event, we get some good matchups with all those fighters in 2021. Canelo is giving us good fights consistently. GGG is 38 so I don't mind 1 easy, 1 hard, but it is time for his tough fight now if he wants to be a player still.

            Charlo and Andrade need to find a way to make their big fights, and soon. Everyone wants to wait around for that Canelo payday, it won't come to everyone. And if it does come, it may not be for years, for those guys.

              He’s going to break the record for most successful Middleweight title defences of all time tonight with a huge 21.

              But he did lose both times to the best of his era Canelo.

              Where do you rank him

              WHAT??

              That’s literally not true.

              Are you a ********?

All those opponents he beat ,Canelo and Jacob could beat too. I’m not questioning his accolades and attributes but the middleweight division in terms of competition has been dire which is no fault of his own
                  You can’t help it when your in a weak division. It happens I think if you look at it like this...head to head, prime for prime middleweight he’s def in the top 15ish in my opinion. Yes his pro resume is nothing great, but his overall boxing accomplishments and accolades are tremendously impressive.
                  He didn’t beat Canelo, but Canelo is universally recognized as the top p4p fighter and a 35 year old past his prime GGG essentially proved his equal with him over 2 fights.
                  Sometimes a fighters stock can still go up from a draw or loss and IMO ggg did that with the Canelo fights.

                    Marvin Hagler.

                    GGG vs Hagler would be an incredible fight, I add.

                      Why would you think that? Does it matter?
