    I’m calling it
    Hasn’t signed with ESPN
    DAZN doesn’t look good
    Showtime can’t afford him
    He’s been deathly silent since his loss in sept
    Turning 37 next month
    It’s a wrap
    Salute to GGG

    GGG should have another two years left in him.
    Has he lost the bottle to do it?
    Andrade smoking him out, Plant, Sounders & Eubank want smell blood .

    He'll come to an agreement with The Zone.

    Showtime offered the same as DAZN.. he just has no desire to fight anyone that’s a threat other than Canelo.. He’s at odds with his DAZN deal because he wants 15 to 20 million to face a soft opponent before Canelo while DAZN wants him to face Andrade.. PBC match the offer for the tuneup fight and wants him to fight Charlo on PPV afterwards.. However you feel about Charlo and Andrade whom both are unproven at MW, they still pose a serious threat for less than the 25 to 30 million price tag that’s attached to Canelo

    Andrade boxes like an Olympic fighter. He has good speed but he doesn't time fighters well like Canelo does. I feel like Andrade would get stopped. He doesn't have the power, nor the activity level to put any level of threat to Golovkin. Golovkin would be able to do his thing against a guy like that. I really don't see him struggling at all to be honest.

    Not saying that Andrade or Charlo would beat GGG but they have stylistic advantages over GGG that I know he’s not looking forward to.. Andrade is a 6’2 southpaw and Charlo is 6’0 with good enough pop.. Nobody thought Jacobs would be competitive against GGG after the Mora fights and many feel he caught Quillin with a lucky punch but his size definitely troubled GGG.. Andrade is a much better boxer than Jacobs..

    Not bothering to make weight for the IBF would've helped him massively also

    I don't think so.
    Like any other fighter, he has the right to rest. He will come out again when he's good and ready.

    Am pretty sure he just wants the Canelo fight ASAP..........were as DAZN want a multi fight deal.

    At this point he could get beat by Andrade, Saunders or Charlo first which kills Canelo III.

    37 ,Sugar Ray Robinson couldn't win back the title at that age. Duran won the middleweight title at almost 38 but he had a guy in front of him who'd dance. 37 is ancient at this weight with all the youth around him,

    The thing with that is you mentioned 2 unquestioned top 5-10 guys all time in boxing.. GGG doesn't have that signature victory and that is why hes craving the third Canelo fight.. DAZN and PBC wants him to go thru Andrade or Charlo who are both high risk low reward threats in his eyes..
