    It's not my opinion but maybe for you it is a big fight, do we really want to sit through another fight between those two? There are other worthwhile fights to be made. Oh please as you said, Lol.

    Whatever you say

    When they fight again and the numbers are massive, I’ll be sure to revive this thread

    For me the only viable strategy for GGG to beat Canelo is to get at - and hurt - Canelo in the body as early as possible; essentially aim to break a rib, or get a kidney/liver shot; the risk here is getting caught with an uppercut counter, which is probably why we saw GGG head-hunt most of the 1st 2 fights.

    Canelo's chin - with those neck muscles - is as solid as it gets and he has already took a younger and fitter GGGs best in the first 2.

    Let's face it GGG is never getting a decision, so he needs a stoppage, and I can only see that with Canelo to the body - unless GGG manages somehow to time Cinnamon with a perfect unseen shot like Marquez got Pac with.

    Like you said, anything you say, numbers may be massive, but it would be nice to see them fight different opponents in my opinion. Besides, Alvarez is moving up to light heavyweight.

    They wont need Las Vegas and Adelaide Byrd this time sadly.......Think GGG should retire now with an enormous Legacy but like a lot of the Great Boxers of the past they fight way past there best.!!!

    By setting traps all night and sticking to that mentality. He needs numerous gameplans/traps

    He could not beat him when he was younger so he cannot beat him now.

    GGG has zero chance on scorecards. He can only win by a KO and when I say KO it means Canelo has to be literally out cold. It must be savage or he is going to get enough time to get up.

    GGG will be alright, it's been a while since he last fought and he had to shake out the cobwebs. His toughest fights have been against Canelo and Canelo's toughest fights have been against him. It's a 50/50 fight.
