    The fighter that fought Jacobs and Kov would have to up his workrate.

    Probably not. Canelo's defense continues to improve. He could fight GGG neutralize not only GGGs power like he did in both fights, but I see him neutralizing his jab. GGG might have some success because of the jab, but I don't see him ever beating Canelo with just the jab.

    No, Canelo had it dialed in against GGG the 2nd fight. I don't think he can get it much better than that. Unlike Canelo's other apponents GGG has a great Jab, power, and elite skill set and chin. Canelo has to pay a price trying to walk GGG down. His back never touched the wropes.

    GGG got battered.

    Putting an opponents back to the ropes means absolutely nothing. Lol

    When GGG first wanted to fight him he was a middleweight fighting at jr middleweight, as seen in his soon to be removed fight night weight revelations. GGG had to wait 16 months more after that. Nobody knows what Canelo's fight night weights were when they actually fought.

    Canelo got just as battered, he just don't bruise as easily, he has that tough crocodile skin. He did have a huge cut caused by a punch.

    Canelo fans would be livid if Canelo got the treatment GGG got.

    Wtf has GGG done to warrant a 3rd fight? He got beat in the rematch and has regressed since, fighting some of the worst opposition i've ever seen for a box office fighter.

    If he wants the fight then either unify with Charlo or win a belt at 168 from Saunders or Plant.

    He deserves a rematch based on being robbed twice alone and giving Canelo his toughest two fights by far outside of the little Floyd schooling.

    A prime G beats a prime Mike Tyson. G hits harder too. You must be new here.

    Do you cry robbery because the judges gave every close round to Canelo?

    Ok I'll wait for the day ggg grows a par and moves up in weight in other to make a statement, how in hell can we make a statement of a fighter fighting in a weight he has never fought before?? That's actually dumb, is like me trying to make a case for Canelo against a cruiser weight when he has never fought there???
