    With Charlo's work rate, he could definitely pull it off

    Charlo doesn't stand a chance, GGG gives him the Murata treatment.

    Charlo came close to getting outworked by Derevyenchenko. The guy to pull an upset against GGG right now is someone who has volume and chin.

    Charlo has all but said he's putting his zero on the auction block, I suspect Canelo will be the highest bidder. If he has hand surgery he will need a comeback fight before the Bivol rematch.

    Charlo is the fresher fighter. Right now would be the best time to send GGG into retirement. Charlo UD

    Charlo is favourite especially at 160. GGG would be wise to move to 175 tbh. Charlo too long and quick. Really bad match up. 168 it would be more competitive.

    GGG still has decent stamina and big power. Just really lacking speed. GGG is most definitely big enough for 175. I think he might have beat Canelo at 175. Canelo looks very sluggish at 175 in both Kova and Bivol fights. Canelo looks quick at 168.

    I doubt GGG would be any slower at 175 as he would be less drained. The 175lbs division tends to be slower than 160/168.

    He looked crap when Canelo was fresh and fast. He looked decent when he slowed a little.

    Canelo can’t carry that extra weight very well. He is better at the leaner weight . Too hulked up at 175 + if he didn’t cut for 175 I don’t think he would have the power.

    GGG does have the power

    Hopkins looked **** at 160, then reinvigorated at 175

    Hopkins is much more bigger physically, GGG wouldnt do any good at 175. His best weight is 160.

    People claiming Canelo is big at 168, he looked small next to GGG.

    GGG is a tank, can’t be any shorter than Toney or Pascal

    GGG at this age moving upto 175 would be a disaster. He should have moved up years ago, not now.

    Well he is better suited there than 160 or 168.

    He looked miles better against Canelo than he did against Murata and Rolls.

    I actually think the extra weight will be a benefit.
    FFS it isn’t like Bivol or Beterbiev are much taller or longer than GGG.

    They both look 6ft absolute max. Beterbiev probably more like 5ft11

    I had Canelo winning 115-113 tbh. 5-1 after 6 rounds gave GGG 4 of the remaining 6.

    Not a whooping at all but a definitely deserved and imo clear win. Can definitely see a 116-112. Can’t see 114-114

    Nah, id rather see him retire than to move upto a division where hed be at a disadvantage. Hes too small for 175, as is Canelo.
