    Should GGG just sign with Saunders in June and become undisputed MW champ?
    Should he wait for Canelo (again) for a potential but not guaranteed fight in September?
    Should he fight a couple other MWs to beat Hopkins record?

    I hope he just makes the fights that GGG wants. I don't think he should trust anyone. Just make legacy fights from now on. The Canelo fight will come sooner or later...

    He just fought last Thursday and he won. So he might get the call, now that he's healthy. BJS might pose some problems for GGG on the negotiating table so it's highly unlikely we get that fight next.

    Really, man and I didn't even know he fought. I've been trying to follow Johnson but I guess he got hurt. I think he can potentially be a threat to GGG but he needs to keep fighting.

    I think GGG ruins Johnson. But yeah he had gotten injured in his fight prior to this one and had been inactive since October 2015. That's a lot of time away.

    Billy Bob Saunders, for the undisputed world middleweight world championship of the world, for benefit of glorious nation of Kazakhstan!

    Seriously, it has been a long, long time ago since we had an undisputed champion in any weightclass. No need to wait if Canelo wins without complications, and then actually opts to fight Golovkin in September. Certainly with the looming issue of Floyd screwing things up by fighting some mma dude

    Yea it seems like most people want him to win the final title just so he obtains his goal. It won't be an easy win because Saunders will come ready. He can move and has quick hands.

    And most importantly BJS is a full fledged southpaw, and it seems GGG has a bit of a time figuring out that awkward style, which was shown against Monroe and Jacobs whenever he switched stances. BJS has a shot if he can come in shape.

    I agree with this. If hes financially sound, which id say hes got a few million now. I'd tell Oscar to do one.. Sitting it out so they are guaranteed a win from ggg getting jaded and old...

    Most people?

    Most people want to see him fight an elite opponent such as Ward or Canelo.
