    it seems it’s between ggg and Andrade. So much for all the kovalev talk!

    The Kovalev fight is stupid, imo.

    If his next actual opponent is Golovkin, Andrade or BJS, those are meaningful matchups imo. I'll be happy with one of those.

    Preferably BJS.

    it will probably be ggg. canelo runs the risk of ggg getting put on his ass by some nobody, taking shine off a 3rd fight. the kovalev talk is a long game, play. it starts to build interest, makes you a factor in negotiations where youre not directly involved. when they feel kovalev is diminished sufficiently, they can make him a big offer, then take 7 to 10 more months off his reflexes, before taking him in the ring. or, canelo could genuinely believe he can take him any time.

    Hopefully Andrade, I'm sick of hearing him run his mouth, then stinking out the joint, he needs to get a vicious spanking from someone. And either GGG or Canelo will do.

    Callum Smith.

    Unless they do the biggest mistake of Canelo's career and try to fight Kovalev. :smile:

    Should be one of the young Champs, Charlo or Andrade. I still would like to see Canelo fight BJS as well.

    I hope Kovalev comes juiced up out of his head against Canelo and that Russian mafia is in attendance next to Oscar and DAZN execs

    He is apparently having issues with his body and probably won’t fight in September. He will be fighting Andrade or winner of brant murará

    I've been thinking this since it's July and no announcement of a fight yet.

    Neither has Andrade. At least Saunders has three near world level wins in Eubank, Lee and Lemieux. All three of whom probably destroy Andrade's best opponent Sulecki.
