Canelo breaks his thumb and is out for rest of 2016

I first saw this and thought 'fuck off it won't delay the fight by that much, but the way they are breast feeding Canelo it will be a lengthy delay.

They will probably give him an easy title defence at 154, then have a fight at Canelo weight, then have one or 2 at 160 and then move onto GGG.

so I think you could easily be talking about 3 or 4 fights before 'the big one'

Typically superstar fighters don't fight more than twice a year, so 2019 sounds about right, if Canelo decides to have 4 more fights before fighting GGG. SO that'll be 2 in 2017, 2 in 2018, and maybe it will be a May 2019 fight in Texas at 156 or 157 for the MW championship.
