Canelo (again) does not want to face Golovkin (again). He wants Kovalev .

Again and again..............Canelo is not interested to fight GGG, he thinks the fight against Kovalev is a great challenge.
What do you think ? Will this match happen ? If yes - who wins ? How ?

ppl were picking canelo over guys like gvodzyk and smith lately. i think some over kovalev too. while at the same time saying hes too small and shouldnt move to lhw any time soon lol

[boxing_rocks]

He should fight Shumenov who bought himself another WBA title. Much easier fight than Kovalev even though it is at 200.

To be fair, that's not what Canelo said. He hasn't ruled out a third bout against GGG. He says he wants to unify the division next.

And let's be honest, it's probably too early for a third bout between Canelo and Golovkin - I don't think there's a lot of interest in this fight yet.

Surely you'd find a potential fight between Canelo and Kovalev intriguing? I'd certainly like to see it.

Canelo beats Kovalev. While he gives up 4" in height and 2" in reach, he's just that much better. Kov's time has passed. He's ripe for the taking.

Not a huge jump from SMM, so I'd bet his power and speed carries forward with the extra weight.

I'd have to give them more thought. First thought is no. As I posted earlier, Kov is ripe for the taking.

"If Golovkin has a belt, then yes." So, we know that Golovkin has not any belt................

High-risk, low-reward fighters. I doubt that GBP would consider these guys as future opponents' for Canelo, since they're both with Top Rank/ESPN.

Oleksandr Gvozdyk might be too big and too fresh for the Mexican anyway. The 34-year-old inactive Artur Beterbiev looked very beatable against the mediocre Callum Johnson though.

You haven't supplied the entire quote. Canelo wants to unify the 160lbs division before the end of the year. He said that if Golovkin captures the WBO title next, then they could meet again later on this year. If the Kazakh didn't, then he'd be open for a third bout against GGG during 2020.

“Look, the objective this year is to win all titles. My goal this year is to have all the belts,” explained Canelo. “If Golovkin has a belt before the end of the year, then yes, we’ll gladly fight him. If he doesn’t, see where it falls later, how it plays out.

“Right now my first objective, goal, is May 4th to pick up that belt... We’ve given the fans two beautiful, great fights. Why not a third?”
