Canelo breaks his thumb and is out for rest of 2016

[Primo Carnera]

GGG MUST forget about the fight, if Jacobs don't step up, forget about the MW's as well and go to SMW. End of.

What is up at SMW that is appealing for GGG? Nothing.

you're crazy right?
Sturm/De Carolis - World Champions, chance to be a 2 weight World Champion. Should be enough money to tempt either of them.
Badou Jack - World Champion , Floyd has said Jack would fight him.
Degale - World Champion , easy money and good money. if he's got the balls.
Ramirez - World champion and at least as much money as fighting Jacobs.
Groves - Despite not being a World Champ, good money. not sure he'd be that keen seeing as GGG already broke his ribs. but hey, that's only sparring.
Callum Smith - ditto. Doubt whether Matchroom would go down this route , they want him to be a World title holder. Stylistically and size wise, not a good fight for GGG, could be interesting.
Chavez Jr. - if they ever managed to get this twat in the ring, very good money, doubt Chavez would take it.
Abraham - Milk the golden egg one last time.
you could even add the Dirrells to that list, and they might make decent money.

What is there at MW?
Jacobs - he SAYS he wants it. we'll see.
BJS & Eubank - both a pair of loud mouthed chicken shit time wasters who don't deserve a chance to earn that money.
so like I said, if they can't get Jacobs to commit, Go up.

What is there at MW? More money, more trinkets and more prestige.

I can't agree with the above.
More money - I don't think so . Look at the options and the names in the SMW Division.
More Trinkets - again, wrong. He has nearly all the titles at MW already, but he's got all of the SMW Trinkets to go for.
More Prestige - the days when the MW Division was the Blue Riband division of Boxing have long gone, it hasn't existed for decades.
Historically the MW Div was the prestige division because it was the average persons build , so everyone could aspire to it and more people would compete at that weight. But in the last 50 years, Man has evolved into a much bigger individual. That's the whole reason why the SMW and CW Divisions were created.
You're clutching at straws here mate.😉

You are missing the point of boxing which is to maximise the income for the least risk. Canelo is the big fat goose that needs executing.

Agree with most of this, but just to nitpick, I'd say welterweight has always been the prestige division for the reasons you say. There are still and I believe have almost always been more active pros competing there than any other weight class by a good margin. When you consider how far from fighting shape the average person is and what fighters put into cutting weight, that's still closer to the average guys build.
