    If this fight happens (and it likely will), who is going to win it in your opinion? Past prime GGG or Derevyanchenko who is good in everything but isn't great in anything?

    I think it will depend on how well Derevyanchenko takes GGG's punches - if he won't be hurt badly early in the fight, then GGG will be in very tough fight for sure that will likely end in very close and possibly even controversial decision.

    I would favour prime Golovkin heavyli to beat Derevyanchenko, but GGG is definitely on decline, so the fight might be much tougher for him now.

    GGG will take the W fairly straightforward. And he'll be hungry too. Then he'll have the IBF belt, so Canelo can stop crying about GGG not having a belt.

    I expect Golovkin to stop Derev. Good fight though.

    Golovkin obliterates and dismantles The Technician in 4.

    to be fair even 3G is not confident of a win, because he ducked him to ensure a fight with canyelo so its going to be close.

    A win for 3G would haowever silence the doubters who may think he ducked Derev in the first place,so there is a loop of logic to close either way.

    If the fight happens we will watch, but theres no mention of it yet. In fact it was Canyelo fightingDerev,not 3G so lets wait instead of doing couldda wouldda game.

    Forall weknow 3Gmay be smashing an ATG next.

    Even a past his prime GGG beats Derevyanchenko fairly easily IMO, but it should be a good fight nevertheless.

    GGG vs Derevyanchenko & Canelo vs Andrade are the fights to make at middleweight. Then the winners fight each other for all the marbles.

    Per BScene, sources claim they are in advanced negociations with GGG's team.

    proof not faith my friend.

    my own faith tells me 3G will smash an ATG next but I want proof before I state a fight is on.

    I thought Chenko was going to fight Canelo?

    Wanted too much money Canelo and his team was willing to give. Now going after Andrade. I would rather see that fight.
