    That'd be awesome. GGG vs Andrade, Canelo vs Jacobs, and the winners square off.

    I don't know what GGG has left. But a couple of years ago he would have KO'd Andrade inside of 8.

    Boo is a talent and in his prime and GGG is obviously past his and no longer the force he was of 3 or 4 years ago. However, I honestly don't think Boo Boo's whiskers are going to be able to withstand too many GGG bombs and I'm finding it really hard to envisage GGG not being able to land with enough to get the job done.

    Great fight if true Booboo is a real talented boxer, good speed and size too. He's a southpaw with a tremendous engine too.

    Nice tough fight for the old boy, I didn't expect it tbh. Good stuff.

    Booboo can prove a lot of people wrong if he gets the upset. His inactivity has made him a forgotten man tbh.
    I'd like to know if Booboo has the heart or toughness at the highest level. This would be a huge step up for him.

    Andrade has a nice pop and good countering abilities, but he makes defensive mistakes (reacts to a punch by moving both hands away from his chin for example) and his jaw isnt too good. He wins a few rounds, gives Gennady trouble, but gets landed on eventually and knocked out by the 9th.

    Experience & level's.. Andrade has been fighting 3 levels below GGG recently. I'm don't think he has the greatest chin either. Gotta pick triple goodness to beat him up.

    Andrade is not a championship caliber fighter. He is at best a top 10 fighter. Everybody who is overrating him just watch his fight against culkay and then you know his level. At best a B level fighter.
    GGG and canelo are A+ level fighters.
    GGG by brutal knockout whenever he wants.

    He’s a two weight champ and was a world level am before that. You have a pretty strict definition of “championship caliber.”

    Great fight.

    Good to see the middleweight division thriving and the champs fighting eachother.

    Putting these 147'ers to shame!
