    Grok said on Twitter that rumors of GGG and Crawford are still swirling around, makes me wonder if Crawford would take him on should he upset Clenelo. Makes sense. Ton of money and an older opponent who’s been away from the sport for a while. Could be a low risk, high reward scenario for Crawford.

    Would this fight interest you guys?

    No, I want GGG to stay in retirement. He's a good man who has made enough money. No need to tarnish his reputation.

    True

    But, let’s imagine he gets a shot at Crawford with all those belts at stake

    Intriguing scenario

    Hopefully not. I think GGG would have stopped Crawford in their primes. Too strong and Crawford likes to trade when he gets touched. Horrible idea vs GGG.

    It might look like the Brook fight. Just overpowered.

    Golovkin needs to stay retired. In the late Canelo fight I was getting George Foreman flashbacks as to how slow he looked.

    Grok the twitter AI? Not a great source of information. Golovkin has taken up a role on the Olympic committee for boxing at the LA 2028 games afaik. That's the last bit of news I've heard about Gennadiy.

    GGG is done. Zero interest from the public no matter the Canelo outcome.

    it searches data from all over

    I believe it to be accurate because triple G was asked the question directly not long ago and he said that he still trains and has not officially retired

    Crawford needs to focus 100% on Canelo. No need even thinking about Golovkin at this point.

    Ok you'll pay for PPV. That's 1 sale worldwide.

    GGG is well respected in boxing circles but he has no casual fan base, and I'd guess a very low Hispanic fan base. You need those two bases to make for a big fight.

    Zero interest among promoters I'm sure. GGG has been out of the minds of fans.
