    He's 27 but he's had 52 pro fights.

    He hasn't taken too much punishment so that's a good thing.

    He's had big fights with Mayweather, Cotto, GGG, and Chavez. Decent sized scraps with Lara, Angulo, Khan, Trout and Liam Smith.

    After the GGG rematch he will have made plenty of millions. Financially he will be set for life.

    At 160 he is undersized. Jacobs, Charlo, dwarf him. Lemiuex, Saunders give him a tough fight. Derevenchenko is a dangerous fight. Andrade? Bad match up.

    He can drag up 154 pounders, possibly. Maybe some 147 pounders to 160.

    I see him retiring soon. 3 more years. No shame in that

    Five years, maybe. I'm guessing he gets out young and with his facilities intact.

    Win or lose, the road is tough.
    He will be at a size and frame disadvantage constantly at 160

    Yeah i agree, he doesn't look like a 160 fighter. He puts on a lot of weight around the neck area at 160. At 154 he looks good.

    I think he goes until he's at least 35, he will only be fighting 2x a year max

    Plenty of family/recovery time

    I agree, he looks like a bodybuilder @ 160, he still has good reflexes but he isn't as light on his feet and foot speed was never a strength in the 1st place.

    He does seem to have better stamina @ 160 but maybe that is more to do with the opposition. His opponents couldn't push the pace like the blokes he fought @ 154

    There's only so many big fights a man can be in before burn out. He's already been in 4 high profile fights, about to be in his 5th vs GGG. All before the age of 27. Floyd had his first high profile fight at age 30 vs Oscar De La Hoya. Gatti, Judah, sold about 350k, similar to Canelo's fights vs Smith, Angulo, Lara.

    Golovkin will beat him again and most top middleweight will beat him he can't bully these middleweigts like the light middleweights his just gonna drag up name fighters up to middle just like he did with Khan he doesn't want a legacy like all the great Mexicans becouse if he did he wouldn't have ducked every good fighter at light middle and of course he ducked golovkin

    After GGG beats him in the rematch, he'll have one more fight in the US and one in Mexico and retire.

    Agreed. Fighting 2x a year, at least until he's 35, I'd imagine. Perhaps beyond. Maybe a year here and there with only 1 fight.

    Why do you want him to retire?
    He is just 27 years old.
