That falls off the table and again we get a name that can be justified but again it isn’t one of the fights anyone wanted.

When you constantly have to defend without consideration to best opponents you have to resort to tricks like Fenster or acknowledge there are fights we want and are not getting, and have not been getting. Brant is an okay fight but it isn’t among the desired fights, Murata was an okay fight but not amongst the desired fights.
Can we justify Centeno or Monroe? Both very far from desired.
I think the difference is that GGG can basically have his pick because everybody is lining up to fight him. No one is lining up to fight Charlo because he is a high risk low reward fight. I think once Charlo breaks through, he will take big fights.

I just think that GGG is looking at the money at this point in his career (understandably) and that’s why he can take an easy fight (Brant) and stall until a third Canelo fight. I get his reasoning, but as a fan of the sport, I want to see GGG other fighters.
Your last sentence is bang on, we all would do the same, try to set our families and ourselves up for the future. It's not the easiest way to make a living.

Can I ask who you would like GGG to fight next, if you could make it happen?
