A subtle example of selling the unsellable.

"Hey... all GGG has to do is outbox Canelo with speed and defense. Just like Floyd Mayweather did when he shut out Canelo back in '13. He needs to use the blueprint Floyd provided to beat Canelo."

BTW, it wasn't directed at you.

Yeah... ask away.
do you think this is the biggest fight for ggg to take next?

If by biggest you mean the one for which he gets paid the most, and gets the most media attention... then yes, absolutely.

TBH, I see this as a cash out fight.

GGG has had a long, distinguished career. Like everyone else, he has his fans and his detractors.

He fought Canelo twice before. I thought he got robbed the first time... and I think he fought stupidly the second time (something about doing things different if you want a different result).

IMO, there's no way he gets a decision against Canelo in Vegas. He won't dominate more than Bivol... and Bivol almost got screwed.

GGG's only way to victory is by knockout.

Canelo has already taken his best shots, and is now bigger and more in his prime. GGG is much older.

Personally, I think it's a mistake for GGG to have insisted on this fight. He's gonna lose.

But yes. It is the biggest fight he could take next.
ggg also gets a shot at undisputed if canelo is his next fight, the only other option to fight for undisputed in his next fight would be to drop down & fight jermell. ggg would probably get shit for fighting a smaller man but if both championships were on the line it's a fight i'd be interested in. but ggg obviously took the bigger fight with canelo. so in your opinion the series is one a piece? i have it one a piece, so ggg also gets to try & settle the series. if you think ggg insisting on this fight is a mistake, who would of you preferred him to fight next? or would you have preferred him to retire?

Door # 3. Retirement. I'm sure he's not hurting for money, and he IS 40 years old. He gets to retire with his legacy intact. At some point you gotta hang up the gloves.

He's selling out in order to collect a few more million for the ignominy of getting knocked out to end his career.
