Golovkin v Charlo - Ordered by WBC

Winner gets a Canelo fight according to this and Canelo's been granted a voluntary defence.
Charlo is with Showtime and Golovkin is now a free agent with loads of offers to choose from.
Canelo is rumoured to be fighting Lemieux next but could vacate and go straight into a 3rd fight with Golovkin.

Seems fucked up that Canelo can fight an arguably easier fight while Golovkin has been ordered to fight the real Mandatory/Interim

Somethings not right here. 🤔

Triple G is getting raked over the coals for some reason for the past 2 years

this is bizarrely weird :S its a good fight so it'll be cool if it happens :S.. but ordering the mandatory to fight the former champ is full on weird :S

It is as if Canelo and Fishnets dictated the order to the WBC.

It's the WBC doing everything they can to protect their boy. Alvarez avoids having to fight Charlo and takes some easy Cinco payday while either Golovkin emerges victorious with even more miles on the clock or Charlo gets slowed down a little before he faces Alvarez. If Charlo wins I don't think he'll get the next Alvarez fight either.

Mind blowing that people think GGG “I’ll never fight Charlo” Golovkin is a victim here. Look at Charlo, he’s been mandatory forever to a guy who “will never fight him” and to keep his mandatory spot he earned long ago, not to fight the champ, he has a tough fight. If it’s unfair to anyone it is unfair to Charlo.

But that’s beside the most important point......this is awesome! GGG/Charlo is the best fight in the MW division possibly. And we’re getting it. That’s great. I mean, assuming GGG will put aside his I’ll never fight Charlo stance. And if he won’t he can kindly F off. I think he steps up and has another great performance win or lose.

The part that isn’t right about that article is the WBC ordering Thurman/Porter, Spence is getting screwed.

Or where they ordered Mikey vs Campbell, that will further delay a possible Loma fight.

GGG=NFC......E!

Fur me Canelo should be fighting either of these guys, not them facing each other.

Good fight tho, lots of options popping up at 160 as well.

I got no problems with GGG-Charlo, so let me just get that out there.

But.......

Canelo and Fishnets didn't dictate the order to the WBC. They ARE the WBC.

Mauricio Sulaiman is a chip off the ol' block. He looks out for his boys. ;)

I think Golovkin by KO is the most likely outcome, but I'm not confident.

Prime GGG would easily beat Charlo, but the current somewhat faded GGG will have a problem and may even lose.

Yep, nothing wrong with the fight, just the bs buffering of Canelo.

Put me down for GGG to beat Charlo as well.

I expecting this fight to not even happen though. I’m guessing that GGG will fight a tune up fight and then still get to fight Canelo in May. People will still want the third fight regardless. I really hope the fight happens though. If GGG wins, he proves that he is still the best MW. If he loses, it gives us fans more fights.

IF they have a third fight..... and that's a big if...... is there a snowball's chance in hell it could happen somewhere else?

Surely we're totally past "fool me once, fool me twice" territory.
