GGG Next fight ?
Re: GGG Next fight ?
He should fight Charlo. I think GGG is past his prime but i would love to see him give Mall a good hiding.
Re: GGG Next fight ?
Andrade was offered the Korobov fight when he was the weight below. Canelo avoided fighting Andrade for 6-8-10 years, while fighting 4 or 5 guys way below Andrades level. Ever wonder why Canelo didn't attempt to unify at 154 or 160?Mexi-Box wrote: ↑17 May 2022, 21:23 IIRC, Andrade was supposed to fight Korobov, ducked, then Korobov fought Lee and the rest is history. I think I got that timeline right. Too bad it never happened. Korobov would've drowned Andrade. Andrade doesn't have the power to stop him and good luck outboxing Korobov.

Re: GGG Next fight ?
"WHEREAS, on September 10, 2014, this WBO World Championship Committee ruled in Mr. Andrade’s favor upon receiving a petition to allow him to move up in weight and immediately vie for the vacant WBO Middleweight Championship of the World against Matt Korobov, giving the parties fifteen (15) days to reach an agreement; and,
WHEREAS, at the end of that negotiation period on September 25, 2014, it came to our knowledge that Mr. Andrade was interested in defending his Jr. Middleweight title and, therefore, wanted to stay within his division and no longer compete for Middleweight title; and,
WHEREAS, Mr. Andrade was next scheduled to defend his belt against Jermell Charlo on December 13, 2014 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, but the agreement was never finalized and Andrade pulled out of the fight on November 17, 2014"
Not to mention he could've fought Lara or Hurd too.
Andrada is just staying safe , hoping GGG would want his wbo title at 160(if he will still have it).

Re: GGG Next fight ?
Charlo is with PBC and he'd probably move up at 168. Andrada has a poor resume, low boxing profile and he likes staying safe and he may move up at 168.
Mung is very high on wbo and wbc rankings, so I assume he may get a vacated title and then fight GGG.

Re: GGG Next fight ?
Its still Canelo id say, verrry pretty confident on that. .
Eddie today was talking up the prospect of GGG vs canelo being bigger now, and floating the Idea that Bivol might be next may... Tried doing it like he didnt know, but it reallllly felt like he was setting the scene for canelo vs GGG 3.
Frank smith also was selling the idea of canelo vs GGG 3 and kinda talking up how it wouldent be bad for canelo to have an interim fight befor the rematch.
I cant hate it, its the smart move for canelo, 2 losses in a row is pretty awfull, not a bad move to make millions for an easyish win., i think either way canelo needs to lose some weight, needs to get mobility and stamina back.

Well GGG always wanted to unify but Saunders wanted and eventually got Canelo, who in the meantime ably demonstrated to GGG just how this business works.
Who knows, maybe if all else fails, GGG will want one last attempt at that unification before bowing out?
And why not, it would be a great finish to a remarkable career.

Indeed a possible T/KO victory over GGG and then maybe fight the unified 175 champion is a much smart move. Canelo is in a great position.

I think G is gonna get Canelo @ 168, then probably fight Munguia if he gets a title.Thomastearns wrote: ↑19 May 2022, 11:02apollo creed wrote: ↑19 May 2022, 03:35Charlo is with PBC and he'd probably move up at 168.

Re: GGG Next fight ?
Golovkin needs to tread carefully from now on.
If he can't get the Canelo trilogy fight, then legacy fights are what he should be aiming for, so that means trinkets and unification fights.
I don't think Golovkin has long left in the game.
A master body puncher with a good chin will be his undoing.

not counting nelo. should they meet a 3rd time the scorecards are already written anyways in beef Boi's favour regardless the actual in ring action.
Re: GGG Next fight ?
At this point, I would favor several guys over GGG, and I love GGG. I hope he goes out on his shield, but not to Canelo.adislav123 wrote: ↑20 May 2022, 16:07who'd that be?Syntax Error wrote: ↑19 May 2022, 14:46 Golovkin needs to tread carefully from now on.

My personal opinion, but it seems GGG fights way different against opponents he knows he should beat. He needs that mindset for Canelo. At 40 yrs old though, unless he needs the money I wouldn't do a trilogy. Beating twice is enough.
Re: GGG Next fight ?
Mung, Charlo or Canelo. Please, no more mismatches.

Re: GGG Next fight ?
G would make lots of money by fighting Canelo at 168 even if he'd get KTFO'ed. G will still have 2 major titles at 160. Meanwhile Mung maybe grabs a title to unify with G.Bandog wrote: ↑20 May 2022, 19:55At this point, I would favor several guys over GGG, and I love GGG.

Even at 40, G is strong enough to beat Mung and Eubank Jr. G conditioning is top level, he has granite chin and hands.Bandog wrote: ↑20 May 2022, 19:55At this point, I would favor several guys over GGG, and I love GGG.

Re: GGG Next fight ?
I am a huge fan of GGG, but it is time for him to retire. In hid current condition, he can't beat Andrade or Charlo.
Re: GGG Next fight ?
What makes you think Andrade would win? He can't hurt GGG and he can't run for 12 rounds against him. GGG controls the ring too well. Charlo would be difficult, though. Big guy that hits hard.

Re: GGG Next fight ?
ggg-mung is the one
mung has some beastly offense, including to the body, but is easy to hit and not all that refined aside from his punches. it's feasible that ggg could outbox him, but also that mung could overwhelm him

Re: GGG Next fight ?
true. who Andrada beat that could suggest he can beat even a 40 y/o GGG?
Till now Andrada shouldve had on his resume fights with Lara, Hurd, Charlo , Korobov and Chenko to get better.
