Would GG have still avoided his biggest threats at 160 if he had gotten the first win vs Alvarez?

    Let's say they give GG the first fight, how does the rest of his career play out?
    Would he still go for a trilogy?
    Would he go on and fight Charlo?
    Or Andrade ?

    GGG avoided no one. Its the other way around. Are you 12 or something?

    GGG avoided no one It was the prima donnas that ducked him. In fairness they wouldn't have to GIVE him the fight or the second fight he legitimately won both. Canelo STOLE the titles with the assistance of the notorious Vegas judges. Both Carlos & Andrade have avoided GGG like he had the black plague. I still regard GGG as the LEGITIMATE undisputed World Middleweight Champion. Had all of them had the stones to fight him in a 100% fair fight he'd have destroyed them all

    If Golovkin got the correct decision which would be a win, he would give Canelo a rematch and win that one as well, just like he did in reality, without the robberies. There might not be a third fight though. The 2nd Canelo fight would be Golovkins 21st title defense, Derevyanchenko would be his 22nd defense, and he would be getting his ibf title back, Szeremeta would be his 23rd defense, then Murata would be 24th defense. He would still be Champ today at nearly 41 years old and would have smoked Hopkins middleweight title defense record with 24 defenses and 20 by KO.
    Canelo on the other hand would do exactly the same thing that he did, and become a big star, win titles in other divisions. Golovkins career would be winding down, and Canelo will be remembered for being great, but not able to win the big one.
