    Good.

    I wanna see if Golovkin still has what it takes to beat the other top MW fighters.

    If he does, the Canelo fight would be waiting at 168 for him.

    Think about it in the ring and ESPN ratings there is 2 guys right under him that he’s not even mentioning fighting. instead he’s looking at the #5 Murata and #9 Mungia so we still wouldn’t know if he has what it takes to beat the other top MWs.. If Murata gets elevated then he’s definitely next but I have a feeling the WBA is gonna make Eubank the Super Champ and leave Murata as regular when logic says order them to fight each other to become Superchamp..

    Golovkin vs Charlo is the best fight in the division. Failing that any unification is good for me, so Murata, Eubank Jr or Andrade. Failing that any ranked opponent is good as well.

    Lot of good fights to be made and if Golovkin can unify the division, there'll be demand to see him go out with a trilogy fight against Canelo.

    Hopefully Alvarez can fight Bivol at 168.

    Idk man if I want to see that after witnessing what making that drop did to Chad Dawson in his prime. Bivol like Dawson may feel he can easily make 168 but it was obvious that Dawson was physically restricted and that cut might have been the reason his punch resistance deteriorated so drastically. Say Bivol doesn’t look as fluid and look compromised, it would easily discredit a Canelo win making it a pointless fight at 168.

    Why?

    I'd much rather see Bivol fighting at 175 against Beterbiev.

    At 168 the best fights for Canelo are Plant and Benavidez.

    He is no joke when he steps inside that square circle.

    he hadn’t even defended it in nearly 2 years, it’s criminal that he wasn’t stripped. It’s laughable that he actually had a chance to vacate.

    Why would Bivol drop to 168?

    He’s not going too.

    Haters won’t like the Munguia fight but he’s in the top 10 and we all know it will be an exciting fight. Win win for GGG.

    Great clip, disagree with your logic though. Clenelo got special treatment to vacate. Name another fighter who got to vacate after not fighting for almost 2 years?

    To fight Clenelo, because Bivol is the B side, so he has to bow down to Alvarez's demands if he wants a big payday.
    But I believe Bivol can make 168 without draining himself to a zombie (he is a small LHW) and he can beat Alvarez at that weight as well - whether he can win a decision against him is an other story.

    I got news for you buddy, not every fighter is willing to make that sacrifice for the cash. I don’t know what world you live in but trust me, plenty of fighters will not go for that demand because they know better.
