Middleweight, what’s next?

[Ron Swanson]

Is there any way in the world GGG can not be a martyr? He is supposed to fight Charlo to get a shot at going right back after the money fight. That is not a victim situation. That is for once a governing body doing exactly what’s right because

1)when champ they said they “would never fight Charlo” even though he was the mandatory. That’s BS

2)it is the fight boxing fans want and have wanted

3)boxing fans don’t care about Canelo, let him and the casual fans go do some Lemieux casual nonsense. Let the fighters fight. GGG/Charlo, fu$# yeah!

Charlo hasn't done anything at 160, I had no problem with him having to wait for his shot.

I'm a boxing fan, and wood prefer Jacobs or Saunders over Charlo.

It's just a way fur the WBC and GBP to all pocket a little more before having to roll the dice again.

Is Charlo ducking or being kept waiting....

Don't think we need to see GGG Canelo III

I'd like to see a 3rd, the 2nd was a very good fight.

Nice. That’s much better. Don’t need a third fight. I think Charlo beats GGG and hopefully gets a shot at Canelo. I’ve been waiting for Charlo to get his shot for a long time.

Charlo hasn't done anything at 160 yet.

Don't get me wrong, this is still a very good match up, but there is unfinished business with Canelo.

He wouldn’t be fighting Canelo before May anyway. It’s a big PPV fight, they would give it the big platform. Makes more sense after 2 years of learning nothing about the division to learn who is really the best in the meantime. A Jacobs fight can’t be done in between. A Saunders fight can’t be done in between. A Charlo fight can be done in between. A key aspect that people need to look at is who has a platform to make a fight NOW. Charlo has the platform. GGG can 1 off on Showtime and see where Canelo goes, follow him to that network

If GGG was planning on sitting out until May for Canelo, then he could easily look elsewhere instead. The IBF title should be filled, the WBO title sound be filled and there is also Murata with the WBA.
I like the Charlo fight, but GGG could easily walk straight into a title fight.

Returning to this, since the day of this post GGG has fought Steve Rolls, Derevyanchenko and Szeremeta. And he’s still trying to fight Murata, what’s it 4 years now he’s been trying to fight Murata? It leads me to 2 conclusions

1)Murata has always been GGGs hand picked opponent
2)GGG should have fought Charlo one of the many times the organizations have ordered he do so
