    In what direction would Golovkins career had gone? Would he have retired, being he got his two signature wins at the same time beating Hopkins all time middleweight title defense record with 21defenses? Or would he continue to unify and rack up more title defenses vs guys like Derevyanchenko, Charlo, and Andrade?

    Its easy.
    As P4P numero uno and DAZN on his side he will go for full unification with Saunders WHO then dont had better option.
    After full unification and make his record of defence even better he will probably try go higher.
    Probably he will beat all this guys what Canelo beat and end career as unify Middleweight and supermiddleweight historic Champion.

    He will be greater than he is now and he is pretty damn great.

    But this never comeback. Alvarez make him reach person but also stole this opportunity.

    GGG would have gone on fighting & beating every man they put in front of him He would have been the greatest Middleweight Champion EVER!!! Really no one ever did Legitimately beat him did they Canelo held the 155 Catchweight title & handed that back rather than have to face GGG for the bona fide title

    The man got the absolute dog **** beaten out of him by Dervy after the Canelo fights and refused to man up to any threat before or after those fights. Guy was absolutely petrified of Andre Ward, Mall Charlo and even a shot and ancient Lara. :lol: Yet he’s gonna somehow find the balls to have all these fights? Yeah okay.

    Ward Mouthed off but when GGG accepted he went silent The Billy Goat couldn't have made 168 himself back then a dirty fighter plus a coward to boot. Couldn't even sell out his home town arena lol

    Golovkin was a ducker. Ducked Ward hard. Never ever challenged himself.

    Pathetic that there are people laughing and saying get over it. These fights tarnished a mans whole legacy with blatant corruption, but hey if you don't like the guy then I guess it's ok. Had he not been robbed GGG would be a first ballot hall of famer.

    GGG doesn't have Mexican or UK privilege.

    How would've losing twice to Golovkin affected Canelo's career? Would Canelo hang around at middleweight for a while to possibly get a third fight with GGG,? Would he risk losing a third time to GGG, or would he move on like he did and become super Canelo in spite of his 2 defeats. What about Golovkin, would he have stayed with Abel, or would he have still left Abel, which seemed to take away from his style a bit?
