    If GGG loses to Canelo again that'll make it 0-1-2 against him. Will he retire?

    I think Golovkin retires if he gets destroyed. He'll fight on once or twice more if he wins.

    I think he's going to leave regardless of the outcome of the fight.

    I think he's gonna retire win or lose personally. I think he was only sticking around to get a 3rd fight.

    I tend to agree as well. But if he wins and goes to 1-1-1 officially, then a 4th fight just may be too rich to pass on. Especially if the third fight is a classic.

    If he wins I hope he retires an never gives Canelo a chance of another fight. That will destroy Canelo who will never get over it

    He's cashing out and will go out in a blaze of glory gunning for a KO.

    He needs to retire, there's no where to go at his age but down

    I mean… he’s close to retirement anyway. He’s in his 40’s and past prime now unfortunately.

    People overlook GGG's last fight in which he was getting caught by a very limited boxer before stopping him.
    This is going to be a very sad fight with Canelo dominating GGG and of course the Canelo fanboys after his win will point out to this as proof he was better then GGG.
    There is no way GGG wins this fight no matter what he tries. Those that are close to him should feel ashamed of themselves for allowing and more then likely encouraging this fight UNLESS GGG is broke a needs a big payday on his way out this fight should have never happened.

    Yes, this is it. This is his last fight. One more big payday.
