like who? canelo has no money options at 160 either.

nobody wants a cotto rematch.
he isn't gonna fight Charlo
he isn't gonna fight Jacobs

so it's canelo vs lemieux. super fight huh?

Friend, Canelo can fight ANYONE and make huge bank. He proved that one year ago vs Beefy Smith in Dallas, 50K fans for a fight vs an unknown. Yes, it was at JMW, but the point is, Canelo doesn't need a big name in the ring with him to pull in yet another huge paycheck.

Exactly. Only one flash knockdown in his last three fights. Huge difficulty landing clean power punches. Starting fights slow to conserve energy, then ending fights slow (both Jacobs and Canelo had late pushes when GGG should have run away with both fights). The left hook which used to be his #1 weapon besides the jab is nowhere to be seen. Slowest left hook in boxing at this point. Never lands when he throws it, and it's gotten to the point where he's afraid to throw it and doesn't even commit because most times he does it misses and he gets countered.

He is a lot further past his prime than people realize. Either that, or the altitude training is ruining his reflexes at this age. Either way, it's decline. People talk about him knocking out Saunders to shut him up... are you sure? With this version of GGG, that looks like another distance fight to me.

Especially with a solid boxer like Saunders, it would very likely be a distance fight. GGG has more and more trouble with good boxers as time goes on.

The rematch will happen when Golovkin is 100 years old. Canelo doesn't want anything to do with Golovkin until he knows Golovkin is 10 feet under so don't hold your breath. Watch him looking for a featherweight as his next opponent.

Gee, we're all so baffled as to why you have ZERO rep.

It won't ever be a rematch. Alvared knows that he lost and dodged a bullet.

Enough of the fukery...man up and fight Ward...that's who GGG should fight next

so you want this dude to just magically jump up 2 entire weight classes to fight some dude who is going to run and hug all night?

He fought Kell Brook so jumping up 2 weight classes to fight Lord Ward shouldn't be a problem...it should be a big gift to boxing fans as he would say

brook went up and sought out GGG. GGG wasn't calling him out.

plus 147-160 isn't that bad considering kell was known for coming in heavy, likely closer to 155 lbs on fight night.

160-175 is a MUCH higher jump, especially for someone who is a natural MW. GGG doesn't hydrate much after the weigh in.

I dont think GGG fights Saunders in December. That is way too soon. The earliest he'll probably fight someone with a belt is Feb.
