    I think he may well retire now.

    Whatever happened to the next two highest guys fighting for the belt? No one should ever just be gifted a belt.

    GGG is much bigger than any MW championship.

    All the GGG hate.... not very honorable. No wait, he was supposed to move up to heavyweight to fight hillbillies for 500$'s per fight right? To prove how tough he is yes?

    Or was he supposed to fight all of the mw's for free or what exactly are people complaining about. Not his fault that boxing really sucks these days.

    If I was GGG I would just go on a world tour at his age. Go to Australia fight Zerafa, go to the UK fight Liam Smith, field any offers from Saudi Arabia.

    If Canelo 3 was GGG's last fight (not saying it is, but it could be) then I would've expected a better showing

    I think he's done with boxing. He's got 3 good paydays.

    He's going to be 41 years old in a less than a month.

    He should just retire and ride into the sunset.

    Another duck. Just retire and go down in history as another forgotten fighter

    Ducked in his prime. Ducked past his prime. Cowardly.
