    Have to assume that GGG will go his separate way for at least awhile. Anyways, DLH will surely have Canelo take an extended break from that meat grinder for awhile, especially since he won that last fight.

    I think it'll be hard to match Canelo going forward. He's a (barely) 5'8" middleweight.

    Lemieux?
    Mungia?
    Jacobs? 5'11", long , athletic black man with power who's proven he can fight off the back foot and move all 12 rds?
    Saunders v. Andrade winner? No way DLH let's this happen, right? right??

    Let's try to keep this to who we THINK it'll be, not who we WANT it to be (he's not fighting the charlos or Hurd on Showtime. Not in a million years)

    I'm going with Mungia.

    It'll be Lemieux. Made to order for Canelo and is name enough they can get away with it as a defence.

    Could be a GGG third fight though if they push for it.

    Something tells me Mayweather, it will be a huge fight, especially when Mayweather is done with Pacquiao in December

    I'll be surprised if it isn't Lemieux

    Odds are likely it’s lemiuex
    Canelo isn’t fighting until May
    Personally I’m focused on Jacobs Derevyenchenko, BJS Andrade
