The date though factors into this and while Canelo has had his warm up, and could fight GGG on the same date, and still make huge money, Golovkin looks to now be fighting Wade in April and Brook is busy in March.

It has all the hallmarks of a possibly great and definitely entertaining fight, but it's also neither a mandatory gimme or any kind of preparation for Canelo to face the REAL middleweight champ, or Khan to face his own nemesis back home. In that sense it's bollocks.

Everyone will watch though.
what if they had have both lost, would it be that interesting then?
