It's not an opinion, it's a fact, it won't happen.

from what i understand canelo has already reached a step aside agreement
with GGG so he can have a cinco de mayo defense of the wbc title.
there is no way in hell ggg agreed to step aside so canelo can use it
to go after the saunders-lee winner, especially after lee had repeatedly
said he was willing to fight ggg. before the agreement was signed, i
was thinking it would be a good lateral move for canelo to sign to
fight the lee-saunders winner before that fight and vacate the wbc,
avoiding his mandatory with ggg until he felt like doing it on his own
terms. after signing a contract with ggg, no way will canelo be abe
to get to saunders next without winding up in court. also, fw said he
has some easier bjs defenses in mind leading to a eubank-rematch.
not sure how much those fights would make in the uk, and if saunders
could even win a eubank rematch, but a fight with ggg this spring would
guarantee saunders well over a million, probably closer to 2, and
maybe more than 10 easy home crowd wbo defenses would earn bjs
added together if he could even survive that long with the title.
fw must think saunders fighting ggg would be a career ender for bjs.
possibly ggg might agree to let canelo fight saunders for more money
and a bigger lock on the september fight.

Andrade is a much tougher fight for Canelo than anyone else at 155, imo. I doubt if he fights him though. I would actually favor Andrade if they fought.

I think Lee would have fought Golovkin or Canelo or Jacobs in the spring but BJS is gonna milk that belt for all it's worth. I think there's a solid chance we'll get Golovkin/Heiland, and Canelo vs. some MW B-lister like Rosado or Monroe.

No, I'm afraid it isn't a fact. Fact's are established after an event, what you're doing there is speculating.

Well we could all be a big smarty pants and get a hard on for semantics or we could just agree that, I know and you know and everyone else knows, it won't happen.

will bjs fight canelo next?
More correct would be to ask if Canelo fight Saunders? I am sure BJS would to fight him, he and his promoter mentioned Canelo among the desired candidates already. But would Canelo choose Saunders. I think its a winnable fight for Canelo even at full 160 because of the lack of physicality on BJSs part. So if he intends to move up to proper MW why not to do it by unifying the titles.
