    Rumors swirling that GGG could retire from boxing and head off into the sunset if he doesn't get the trilogy with Canelo. He's already reported to be on 'vacation' and will only return to the ring this year for the trilogy.

    He has had a great career. Wish him the best if that is what he decides. Winning the two fights against Clenelo and being ripped off could result in a desire to leave. He is undefeated, great career.

    I think he should do given the first fight was given a draw which in Canelo land means he got beat and then the second fight which Canelo got the decision in a close fight(not a robbery)you’d have to think a year on and with Canelo in full match fitness you’d have to favour Canelo and possibly even by knockout at this stage.
    Who knows after the Canelo v Jacobs fight he could be looking at a rematch with Jacobs?
    I’d expect him to retire though given how much he’s earned.

    Have to say I was greatly excited about boxing a few years ago with some of the big fights we had to look forward to but given the boxers did their job and fought their hearts out,once again we been left scratching our heads with no clear explanations as to how they score these fights,it’s got to the point where we all just accept that to beat the A side whoever that may be,one needs a knockout which is very sad imo.
    Canelo v GGG was controversial as was Fury v Wilder and the recent Charlo fight was also controversial and I’m sure there’s a load more.

    It seems that even GGG's own fans don't want to see him fight Canelo again lol, many GGG fans want to see him call it a day rather than fight Canelo again. After the beating Canelo gave him in the rematch, GGG fanatics are so scared of what Canelo might do to GGG in a 3rd fight.

    I don't really care for the third fight. Canelo already proved he can outbox and outslugg G.

    Its obvious Canelo will continue to widen the gap between them as they continue fighting, especially now that Canelo seems fully acclimated to MW.
