    an interim fight before comply his mandatory.

    I agree....

    But the point remains that GGGs resume remains distinctly average for a guy who should still be P4P Number 1.

    Maybe that says more about the standard of boxing today.

    Lol, great response. It's still a double standard to say Canelo fighting Fielding is okay but Golovkin's a duck if he doesn't fight Charlo.

    Dude, I like GGG, I have no problem with him, but he's been rated #1 with a lot of guys for years, he has 418 MDLWT title defenses and hasn't fought a good Middleweight yet. He's knocking heavyweights out in the gym and has Kovalev running scared, he will beat anybody from 154-175 and has made $50m. dollars in his last two fights. What's the problem with him fighting somebody good? He already had one gimmie with Martirosyan.

    George Foreman said something I always remembered on the Vernon Forrest - Mayorga fight. Ricardo, the nobody starts whaling on the huge favorite as good as he was getting. He said "that's the problem with boxing, they pay you all this money, then they expect you to fight for it."

    Can you imagine if Golovkin went and fought Rocky Fielding? Can you imagine the hate and ridicule he would receive?

    How anybody can justify this choice of opponent is beyond me, there really is no justification.

    Rocky Fielding LOL seriously, it's just ridiculous.

    Didn't Canelo just fight the ghost of Chavez Jr & Amir Khan before his fights with Golovkin. I don't care for GGG anymore than Canelo, I'm not really a fan of either, but Canelo having b2b2b2b easy fights in the ghosts of Chavez Jr., Khan even Cotto and okay but not great Smith I don't see why he gets another layup in Fielding with folks like you thinking it's okay, but Golovkin doesn't. It's not like those names I mentioned are a murder's row for Canelo for crying out loud, I'd say Jacobs, inactive up in weight Vanes, Canelo x 2 is just as good as china chin Kirkland, a shell of Cotto, china chin Khan, average Smith, hasn't been relevant in years Chavez, & Golovkin x 2. Which are Canelo's last 7 opponents since 2015.

    The Fielding fight is really bad but he did fight GGG TWICE in a row. Shouldn't we cut the guy a little slack?

    He vacated the belt to avoid a younger version of GGG.

    So he needs to redeem himself by fighting a tough young fighter.

    Fielding is the regular or something like that, he knocked out Tyrone Zeuge to win his portion of the WBA.

    Regular belt doesn't mean ****, don't know why Canelo is fighting for a regular belt.
