I think Golovkin could do it and I think the only fight that he could not get it is vs Charlo (PBC).

I don't think Andrade and Charlo are that good atm considering their level of opposition they've fought and their shape.

I think GGG has 3 more fights left with DAZN.

Murata, Munguia/Andrade and probably Canelo @ 168lbs.

Btw , I've read that Gennady Golovkin made close to $15 million for his non-title fight against Steve Rolls, plus the endorsement deals with Nike's Jordan Brand, Hublot, Tecate and Chivas Regal in 2019. Vs Chenko , G's purse was guaranteed to $15 million. Vs Szeremeta, G had a $7 million guaranteed purse and $2 million to $4 million based on pay-per-view sales if they stay strong on fight day, he will received extra $1.5 million from sponsorships if manage to pullout the victory against Szeremeta.

G is a smart boss by making those big M's fighting Rolls, Chenko and Kami!

:OhYes: :salut:

I'd like to see him go out with a KO win, I don't really see him being a unified Champion at this point, but I'd love to be wrong.

Oh yeah, for sure. I wish him well, he has entertained me no end over the years.
But unification at his stage?
Nope. Let sleeping lions lie :salut:

GGG technically beat Canelo in their 1st fight. The second fight, Canelo was better but G was good too. In the Chenko fight G was hurt and I think the KD and the jabs brought the win to G.

2015 GGG vs 2015 Canelo (from the Cotto fight for the wbc mw title) , it would've been a wide, clear win for G. :box:

G would stop Murata, Andrade or Munguia.

Why not? For a fighter like GGG, the WBA and WBO 160 titles are there to be taken.

Yup. But also I think G has good chances to beat Andrade and take his title, OR maybe if Eubank Jr would fight Andrade and beat him, then GGG vs Eubank Jr would be even a bigger and better match! :box:

GGG only technically drew with Canelo in their 1st fight.

GGG has never "technically beaten Canelo".

Opinions aren't technicalities.

Facts should only be considered technicalities.

Unless you’re aware of some breaking news that only became public today, the Golovkin-Murata bout hasn’t been confirmed yet.

The Sauerlands believe that it probably won’t go ahead if a sizable audience cannot attend ringside, hence their belief that a potential GGG-Eubank Jr. bout in December is feasible.

Unless you know otherwise, I thought Japanese crowds are currently capped to 10K, with spectators requiring vaccination certificates?

That may or may not be sufficient to fund the event, but it's rather telling that (despite this bout being in the pipeline since April), it hasn't been finalised yet.

According to his Twitter feed, GGG commenced training camp ten days ago, which will give him just over eleven weeks to prepare for the tentatively proposed 28th December fight-date, but there’s still no official announcement about who he’s fighting yet.
