If Kovalev krushes Canelo, would there be any demand for Kovalev and 3G?

    I still think that would be a good fight. Two aging fighters, but I think GGG pressure could give Kovalev trouble, if Kovalev isn't too big of a man for him that is

    If he beats Canelo then he should fight either Bivol or the winner of tonights fight. So no. Not from anyone sensible.

    But you'd have to be naive to think that there won't be a demand for that match and a big one. And quite frankly, because it's sensible from a money making perspective. It would be huge. No one gives a **** about Bivol and no one wants to see it. Gvozdyk or Beterbiev is another story, but for the record. I don't want to see that.:lol:

    GGG will want to drain him to 164, 170 at best.

    I think Canelo is going to beat Kov convincingly so I dont believe this will be an issue. But lets just say he beats Canelo there will be an immediate rematch and neither is getting any younger. I think we've seen the last of GGG in the ring with Canelo regardless and I dont see a demand for a GGG/Kov fight either.

    It’s a logical fight next. GG can kill two birds with one stone.

    I'd like Kovalev to retire win or lose. But if he wins and continues then he's obligated to fight the other champions, I wouldn't want to see him get creamed but it is what it is. If he destroys Canelo they won't bother with a rematch. Only if it's "close"

    Or can get brutally KO'd himself. When you're looking vulnerable at 160, jumping to 175 isn't recommended.

    Same here. I'm hoping he sparks out Canelo and retires. But if he doesn't. I'd prefer him dropping his belt at 175, and pursuing a fight with GGG. A match against Bivol is winnable, as is Beterbev if he goes all out early. But Gvozdyk-Kovalev, I have zero desire to see.:ohno

    Drugnelo is the only one that drains people.

    160 to 168-175 is known to be the toughest jump so that could happen. What if Kovalev barely gets by Canelo on the cards. Does that change your perception of GG-Kovalev?

    Couldn't see Golovkin moving up that far, super middle at the very most but he has been at 160 for so long now I think he would find it hard at 37 to do so. He slowed down against Derevyanchenko last time out so adding extra weight just does not seem logical considering he has another 3 or 4 fights on his contract with DAZN.

    Yeah I don't think he'd have much of a shot against Bivol or Beterbiev at this point. But other than that we appear to be on the same page.

    Definitely. But I'm taking the notion of the thread seriously. If the Krusher krushes Canelo, GGG should avoid him at all cost. If its a back and forth war, yeah, GGG could pull it off.

    Well as we all know Clenelo has juiced up so he can be at 175. Where as GGG doesnt hit the juice he is a NORMAL 160 pound Middleweight
