Since Gonzalez lost, the number 1 spot is probably wide open again. The winner of tonights fight between Ward and Kovalev probably warms the seat until GGG v Canelo.
Kov is #1 until tonight's fight. Around 80% of the boxing media had him beating Ward and that card had some very fishy decisions in favor of Roc Nation fighters.
Golovkin needs the Canelo win to round out his resume.
