    Sure there was a thing about Goldenboy and K2 booking Las Vegas for May wasn’t there?
    I wouldn’t have any probs with him fighting Andrade though would you?thats a great fight as Andrade has this Mayweather type reputation with nobody ever wanting to fight him due to risk n reward however true that is.

    Sure he’d be safer against Andrade than a Jacobs or Smith but Andrade could out box him though it’s a mute point a shot to wether he could out point him lol.

    Sounds about right,different philosophies perhaps with Haymon stable stuck with the Mayweather psy op of having no losses on record whereas Hearns lot and Hearn don’t seem to view it as the end of the world with loss,they were looking to sign Fonfara with multiple losses.
    Andrade seems on board with this as well as it would appear he’s been mismanaged and avoided himself for years.

    Canelo isn't fighting Smith.

    This is that thing promoters do when negotiating, they want to pretend they have other lucrative options.

    Canelo needs GGG needs Canelo.

    Third fight will be huge.

    Golovkin's next move:

    B side on another scumbag promoters card trying to get his guy ove via corruption at GGG's expense.

    Even though he's a great fighter and a a big star, Golovkin will never get the recognition he could have received or should have received. The german promoters screwed him early and he's getting screwed on the cards late in his career.

    They claim him being regular WBA champ invalidates a bunch of his early title defenses despte his promoter saying they would never let him fight WBA Super champ Felix Sturm. Then GGG says fine, let me go to American and fight Pavlik and his promoters they will never send him to American to fight Pavlik.

    If GGG retires now he wouldn't be rank high probably not even a hof, GGG only has a close win against Jacbos and a Canelo draw, not enough for me..

    He’ll get in with his number of defenses and the people that vote know he was avoided in his prime. Guys like Gatti are in and Buddy Mcgirt neither are on Triple G level. I just don’t see anywhere for him to go he is an old 36 or whatever his age is at this point.

    Considering Golovkin beat everyone in front of him, and was avoided and or robbed of rightful victories, he will get in and also become an ATG after maybe 3 or more fights against top competition.

    Can he still beat top completion? How does he do against Charlo, Canelo and Jacobs at this point. I see clear erosion in his game. I will say this he was clean and I suspect a lot of top fighters in the game.

    He has two more meaningful victories inside him IMO. He should fight Chenko and Brant, then rematch Canelo.

    Brant makes sense since he just beat myorota. I can see those fights but only Canelo adds to his legacy and right now even though I believe he won both fights he struggled big time at points against Canelo last fight I have hard time seeing him getting better
