    GGG is gonna have to make a choice. Obviously this a business and lots of individuals are involved. But still ,imo, the right thing to do but is to tell el pollo and fishnets to screw off and fight either BJS, Andrade or Charlo assuming they would all be avaliable for May 5th bout.

    Fighting a weak opponent on cino de mayo, just to go after a rematch with Alvarez would be a bad look considering he called them both dirty cheaters.

    Sigh
    I expect ggg to take the path of least resistance
    Spike it shall be
    Even tho us fans are screaming for the other available fighters.

    GGG was ruthlessly and shamefully ducked in his prime. Now that he’s aged and getting ready for his cash out fight I seriously doubt he cares about what we hardcore fans want to see. He’s looking at his pocketbook at this point

    It’s gonna be Spike

    Sadly you're probably right bro. It's probably naive to think otherwise.

    You're right, but considering the issue with the scorecard from the first fight, then the failed test, GGG himself accusing Alvarez of taking injections and pills and even alluding the commission knowing about it; makes you wonder if it' worth trying to salvage a rematch.

    That’s the thing though I doubt theyed be ready for it,Saunders and team and K2 would want to promote it more and Andrade and Charlo despite what they say on social media would want more time to train imo.

    that's a good point you brought up there . The timing isn't the best considering May 5th is right around the corner.

    Has a Daniel Jacobs rematch been mentioned?
    Surely Jacobs would cancel his fight which is the week before I think on the 28th April.
    He would be ready in time for GGG.

    I'd prefer a better legacy fight myself but there's a huge money issue here and Oscar and Alvarez are going be picking up part of the the bill.
    HBO is putting up a lot of the cheddar as well.
    There's probably only gonna be maybe 5/6 million for the card.
    Spike is already signed for a

    Golovkin would knock Andrade out, he will knock out O'Sullivan, he will beat Saunders if he can get him into a ring, but Saunders claims he has an injury. Charlo wants to fight a cripple, Golovkin is not a cripple. Golovkin would knock Charlo out. Hell, he would knock Jacobs out in the rematch, but he has already beaten Jacobs. Jacobs and Charlo should fight, the winner to get a shot at Golovkin, but Charlo wants a cripple!
