    he is getting on a bit for a boxer and it really would be going out on a high, he could avoid swinging and missing all night against Billy Joe Saunders and walk into the safer world of WWE where Triple H has expressed interest in fighting him

    Doubt it. Still big fights out there for him.

    Saunders/Andrade winner and Jacobs/Derevyanchenko winner for starters, then there is Murata, Charlo as top.contenders. could move up and try and make a fight with Groves v Smith winner as well to become a two weight champion.

    Don't see GGG retiring until he ages enough to take a beating tbh.

    That would be a dumb thing to do, if he beats Canelo he becomes a bigger star, he can move up maybe take on the winner of Groves vs Smith etc. I don’t see GGG staying at 160 with the sharks lining up for the belts.

    I hope so. Nothing left to prove, his health at stake.

    I think he might. To much of a slog to try and unify at 36/37, and that aside, BJS and SD don't bring in anywhere near the hype, money and exposure hes getting for Canelo. Can he really get up for them two after Canelo..It would be the perfect way to bow out. I've got BJS fiddling his way to a win at this stage anyway, so in 12 months time hes really going to have slowed some more and be for the taking. Why stay round for that when you have money and a great rep and career..

    If he beats Canelo he will fight him again. If he loses, and Canelo grants him another fight, he will fight him again. GGG goes where the money is. He does not care for belts or legacy. It is all about the $$$$ for GGG. Can't knock him for that.

    I’d pay good money to see Golovkin batter that PED hypocrite.

    Loeffler and Abel said that after the Canelo fight he is going for the WBO belt, and they also want a money fight with Murata in Japan, and probably later on there will be a third fight with Canelo.
    I can imagine WBC gonna take the belt away from him.

    No. GGG loves boxing/fighting. You can tell.
