    After Canelo's win over Jacobs who else is there at 160 who can hand him a loss? I'm assuming the vast majority won't give Andrade or Charlo a massive chance. Golovkin has most definitely been cheated out of one win against Canelo at the very least, but unless Johnathon Banks has something up his sleeve that I am unaware of, I'm unsure that Golovkin now at 37 and past the peak of his powers would get the win. Will it take someone like Callum Smith at 168 or even Kovalev at 175 (both of which have been discussed as possible future fights), to get a Canelo scalp?

    Andrade would be competitive but have very little chance of taking a decision off Canelo. I don't care to see another GGG fight, but who else is there at 160? It has become a barren division.

    Derevychenko makes Canelo work abit harder then jacobs.

    saunders is the one he needs to fight, who dances and pops canelos head off all night.

    Why wouldn't you want to see a 3rd fight? Decisions and scorecards aside, those were both awesome fights.

    I'd love to see Canelo- Andrade. I'm so sick of the GGG-Canelo soap opera. It's time for some new blood at MW. I'd love to see Canelo-BJS too, but that will never happen. Hell, I'd take Canelo-Charlo too, but I don't see that happening either.

    Yeah, Charlo is stuck over at the PBC. He just doesn't really have anyone to fight until Hurd moves to MW.

    I'm actually one of the few that like Charlo. I think he is very good. He's got power, length, hand speed, good reflexes, he's an excellent catch and shoot fighter and he's always in phenomenal shape. But his career has slowed to a crawl since he moved to MW, and it's very frustrating. He didn't look good vs Korobov, but I thought he still won going away. Plus, he had just watched his twin brother lose and wasn't engaged mentally. I think it's absolutely insane to fight on the same card as your brother for that exact reason. What if your brother gets starched right before you fight? There's no way you'll be ready mentally.

    I never said I wouldn't want to see a third fight, I would be delighted to see a trilogy fight between those two warriors. What I'm saying, is that I I'm not sure if Golovkin can actually get the win against Canelo, regardless of whether or not it's a close fight, and I'm not sure whether any of the others at 160 i.e. Andrade, Charlo, Derevyanchenko etc would be able to win either. Hence why I was mentioning whether or not it'll take a significantly bigger opponent with good boxing ability like Smith or Kovalev to get a clear victory over Canelo.

    I already got bored with the whole Canelo saga. I didn't even watch him vs Jacobs.

    The only fights that are any threat to Canelo in the near future are BJS or GGG
