    No, Hell no, but Bob Bennett and his boxing commission, referee, judges will cheat Golovkin again. El Pollo had illegal wrappings in the first fight as well..................

    I don’t. The OP basically said he should retire because he’s pretty much cleaned up the division. Why not move up and try yourself against the bigger men instead of retiring my point was.

    Nah, fight Canelo. He should get a fair shake this time. It's rare the 2nd fight is scored as badly as the 1st if it goes that way. I'd like to see GGG really put it on Alvarez from minute 1. Even if it means taking a few shots early make Alvarez work hard for 3 minutes of the first 4 rounds and he will be blowing hard by 6.

    Saunders is a tricky fight for GGG styles makes fights and Billy is exactly what he doesn't need...I'd still pick GGG to win but it could be ugly.

    Then either a couple more defenses or go to SMW. If he can win a belt there he could call it a career with plenty in the bank, a brilliant win or wins over Alvarez and a long list of creditable victories of decent fighters. If he doesn't go SMW maybe fight Charlo and call it a career.

    My bad, it came off like he has to go to 168.

    He hasn’t cleaned 160 anyway. He still has BJS, Charlo and Murata. If he beat those 3 and Clenelo, I’d retire and ride it to the HOF.

    if that money wasnt so good then i would suggest ggg to pull out of fight. ggg is the beltholder so canelo losing his chance at the belt. then go after bjs an unify. screw canelo hes a diva and oscar is so shady.

    Sounds great but i can basically guarantee GGG will not break that record. Boxing does not want him to break it and everything will be done to ensure the record stay with hopkins.

    If He manage to beat Canelo in the rematch fight one more time in 2018 hope to be Saunders then retire.

    why would he retire if he can still make good money and fight his biggest fights yet of his career. It isn't like he fought his great fights and he is just fighting on for a few years.

    I’m finally sitting down and watching the entire fight and scoring. What the fckk are some of you Canelo fans watching?!

    Rounds 1-3, Canelo, all close, particularly 2 and 3
    Rounds 4-9, GGG, only round 6 was debatable in my eyes, GGG dominated these rounds mostly as Canelo ran and laid on the ropes, landing too infrequently
    Round 10, Canelo comes out very fast but then fades, he let GGG back into the round with inactivity, I can’t give Canelo this round despite the fast start, it wasn’t enough
    Round 11, again, Canelo has landed some rockets but GGG has as well, Canelo laying on the ropes and retreating, still can’t justify giving him this round
    Round 12, close round, lots of action, gave it to the champ

    9-3, with a couple close rounds.

    If you scored this for Canelo, you’re out of your mind.

    Byrd should be permanently barred
