    He could have fought BJS next. The legacy is in unifying the titles.

    He can fight BJS next year (September Canelo, December Murata), he will still get the WBO belt easily, don’t you worry haters.

    One of the best boxers off all time, of course he wants to get paid.

    Jacobs, BJS, Devrechenko, Murata: Why these guys are not fighting with each other?

    GGG is ageing, time catches up with everyone in boxing. End of the day, Golovkin probably has only one real hard fight left in him. May as well use that in a contest which is potentially the biggest and most lucrative fight in boxing.

    He has earned it.

    I disagree about earning it. Jacobs was really the only dangerous fight GGG has taken prior to Canelo. Before that he fought a lot of journeymen

    since 2014 when he won his first world title he has not been avoided, he has good resume uin that time. - so there is no way he can have built that if he was avoided.

    before 2015 he wasnt avoided at all - he wasnt getting fights then since he wasnt relevant and did not deserve them... noone was avoiding someone irrelevant.

    It a business decision. A rematch with that pos Alvarez is more lucrative then any other match up but here's the thing.

    You got robbed the in the first fight, then accused CA of juicing. And then said the commission knows it. Plus the first fight wasn't exactly spectacular either.

    GGG will cash out. But don't be shocked if you seem more drama with the rematch. Robbery, Steroid allegations etc. But then again, media loves that stuff so...

    Canelo certainly waited till 'the right time' to fight him anyway. Martinez and Cotto would not have gone near him.
