    As a GGG fan, hearing that Canelo may go after the Callum Smith fight...I'm curious on who is Golovkin going to fight next?

    Is he seeking the Callum Smith fight? Is he seeking to regroup and look to regain the middleweight title?

    He should fight Liam Smith, because according to Isal that would be Golovkins best win.

    Golovkin should retire he is clearly in decline and he got ripped off twice. Unless he is in need of money I don’t see anything for him worthwhile in immediate future outside of Canelo 3. A fight where one fighter has to win by ko to win

    I would love to see him beat the brakes off of Charlo and humble the over aggressive clown.

    If Canelo fights Smith GGG should fight Ramirez, try and set up a rematch at SMW. Obviously those are tough, tough fights and no guarantee either of them win.

    Canelo won’t fight with Smith, Jacobs or BJS.

    Lemieux or Andrade in May, and 38 years old Golovkin in September.

    Motivation and confidence will be two big factors going forwards for GGG.

    I agree as he still has a decent reputation given how both fights played out,in a third fight though I do believe Canelo would win legitimately with no ifs or buts as he’s as prime as anyone you can think of and imo is improving each time,would not surprise me if Canelo knocked him out next time either.
    Golovkin has been my favourite boxer and it’s not his fault his division wasn’t the quality of divisions of old but at this stage it’s like he’s wanting to take on these young lions to offset his frustration of the past.

    Given how bad Ramirez fought last time out he’d not get any credit for that fight.still not watched it but that guy who beat Murata last time out was meant to be incredible,heard his punch stats were through the roof and there’s nothing Murata could of done,I’d be interested to see if this was a flash in the pan or if he’s that good,be a great choice for Charlo imo.

    Yes this as there’s no doubt now that Golovkin isn’t as motivated,they can say all they want about how dedicated he is in training but we all saw those pics of Golovkin on those posters to hype the first fight,don’t remember him looking fat before but that’s how he looks now between fights.

    I missed the last Ramirez fight, need to check that out but imo GGG would get lots of credit for moving up and beating him at his first fight at SMW. Ramirez is still a good, young champion.

    Yes helluva performance from
    Brant against Murata, him or Charlo would be great choices for sure.

    Would make sense whilst waiting for Canelo I suppose,his days at 160 could be don even as well as May be the case with Canelo.
    Wonder if they would be allowed a catch weight over 160 for those belts as I think Canelo struggles and Golovkin looks terrible now on the scales?

    They wouldn’t so maybe a rematch at SMW might make sense!

    It would be pretty sweet if he could be a free agent and bounce across networks.....but someone is gonna make him sign on the dotted line. Supposedly Arum and DAZN are pushing hardest.

    If he goes ESPN I imagine he's getting in with Gilberto Ramirez at 168lbs. Not sure what else they have to offer.

    DAZN offers Canelo, Lemieux , Andrade and it sounds like Jacobs is signing there too. Imagine more of the Brits (Smith, Groves, etc) are inclined to go with DAZN as well.

    Nothing has been out there insinuating that PBC/SHO have pursued him. So forget Charlo's, Hurd, Lara, etc
