    I think GGG was holding out for a Canelo rematch. I think that is down the tubes. Not sure who he will fight with that expensive DAZN contract.

    Kov is done for the most part. His punch resistance seems to be 95% gone. 3G's still up in the air. Nothing on the horizon in regards to fights that I've seen.

    YES. GGG's tough fight with Derev said it all. Pressure fighters slow down significantly around his age. Kov's isn't disciplined. His psyche was shattered by Ward (albeit controversial the first fight), just like when Foreman lost to Ali.

    Kovalev is done. GGG can be a champion and defend it if he wishes. At age 38 he should retire soon.

    Kov is long gone.

    GGG probably has another big fight, but he had better make it happen fast. And the Canelo trilogy isnt going to happen.

    Kov is definitely done. GGG is still dangerous but he’s old and slow. He takes too much punishment and needs to think about hanging it up soon. If he can’t get a last payday vs Canelo I don’t see any money fights on the horizon.

    Golovkin has 1-2 more fights in him. He'll probably pound Szeremeta and try to rematch Canelo. He should retire soon though.

    Kovalev is cooked. He can become a stepping stone for younger fighters.

    Yeah. Dead giveaway is that Canelo took the fight.

    Kovalev yes. GGG might have one or two more big fights left in him.

    Kov had a very good career. He holds a win over Ward for me. Kov over GGG for me.
