I have the feeling GGG is gonna get screwed again and the fight with Canelo won't happen this year. So, I think he should try to unify with Saunders, let's say in U.K or Monaco.

Saunders and his promoter said they are agree with everything.

Canelo can just fight someone else again, leaving GGG inactive and older.

Didn't we already discuss this at length in the "Golovkin-Saunders Unlikely For June, GGG To Wait For Canelo" thread?

There's no obvious answer to your question.

My gut instinct tells me that we won't get to see a Canelo-GGG fight in September, due to a combination of K2 asking for more money than GBP is willing to pay them, coupled with the possibility that enough Mexicans and Americans wanting to see a rematch between Alvarez and Chavez Jr.

If Canelo defeats Chavez Jr. rather easily, but the GGG fight isn't made, then Alvarez will probably face Billy Joe Saunders, with Golovkin's next fight against an opponent not named Danny Jacobs.

Golovkin should jump at the opportunity to fight BJS as it still on the table because if Canelo grabs that WBO belt , that's bye, bye GGG's biggest dream.

GGG's team is getting fooled again abd again by Oscar. Take that BJS fight, rematch Jacobs and then call it day. Canelo is playing FMJ's cherrypicking game.

If Golovkin wasn't injured, they should've definitely made the BJS fight provided money promised by Kazakh government was available.

However, looking at Golovkin's light usage of his right hand in the second half of Jacobs fight, I think that the injury was the reason of skipping the BJS fight.
