    Hearn suggested Ryder fight GGG next. That fight probably wont happen, but if it did, who do you think would win? A 41 year old GGG or the rugged southpaw Ryder?
    I think GGG even at 41 takes him out of their in a Murata type of beat down but Maybe sooner. Thoughts.

    Actually that would be a very tough fight for GGG and one that he might lose. He is getting very old and has been declining for a while.

    40 years old GGG won the third fight against Canelo. 41 years old GGG would win against Ryder.
    People are getting carried away because Ryder went the distance against a near retired Canelo - He probably has 1 or 2 big fights left and that's it for him.

    I think Golovkin win's he might even stop Ryder late but it is a tough fight

    Ryder is a tough man but GGG is another level of tough. He stops him in about 10 in a grueller

    And then you wake up.

    I don't think GGG has much fight left in him anymore. He looked like a beaten fighter in September. But if they fought now, GGG's jab would probably win him a decision. I doubt Ryder could hurt GGG because no one ever has, so it probably ends up a UD. Good fight though if it happened.

    Ryder took a pounding against Canelo, and while GGG is way past it Ryder is in constant range for Golovkin's power . I think it's all downhill for Ryder at this point.

    GG hasnt fought in a whole year. Since he lost the last bout vs canelo.

    To make a prediction I would like to watch him first, to know how he is doing in the ring now. He's 40 41, inactive and I'm pretty sure that unmotivated too. We cannot assume that he is the same fighter we watched in his latest fight.

    Prime GG sends ryder to the graveyard, though.

    I'd pick GGG still, but like @chacal mentioned, prime GGG would win easily.
