    He said he wouldn't rule out fighting in Saudi Arabia, and that he feels great. I think he should retire like most of you probably agree. But of coarse i got to thinking, if he did come back for one more fight, who would be an interesting fight that he can win at 168lbs? I came up with Berlanga, because it would sell and DAZN and Berlanga wants it as well. Of coarse GGG being off for 2 years and being 42 years old and rusty might make it tough. I definitely wouldn't want GGG to lose to this guy. So what do you think? Who would you favor?

    He would not lose to Berlanga.

    Hard to say no to a potential $20M paycheck salary, sponsor deals and all that considered.

    While I want GGG to stay retired, if he came back and knocked the stuffing out of that guy I'd bust out the fireworks. Last thing I want is for Golovkin to come back and get stopped by a no-name brand fighter because he is rusty AF.

    I wanna see him fight Erislandy Lara. That way he can get a MW title back and fight a guy as shot as he is.

    He has an empty tank. He should have never fought Canelo a 3rd time as his tank was already dry then. Don't want to see him do that.

    Don't want to see it. Was on edge the whole Canelo III fight hoping he wasn't going to get KO'ed or even KD'ed by Father Time. GGG made a good account of himself in that fight as a 40-yr-old man. Let's leave it at that and let posterity enjoy his career.

    I mean, I guess he could fight Sergio Martinez but then I'm worried about Martinez.

    He needs to stay retired and he will. He's merely offering to get beat down for a big Saudi payday, if they make one available.

    Don't think he's the stay in-shape post retirement type.

    He's still probably top 3 at 160-168

    I doubt that. Any decent fighter could outpoint him now given his lack of legs and stamina.
