GGG has not proved he's the undisputed champ at 160 for me yet. A rematch with Jacobs, Saunders is there as well.
I'm interested in who fights for the vacant belt. If Canelo takes Jacobs (a fight I'm not really sure will get done), and GGG faces his mandatory Charlo, then Derevyanchenko vs Andrade could actually finally happen with a title on the line.
GGG is the the undisputed champ at 160, of that there is no doubt.
There is doubt. I thought Jacobs beat him. He didn't unify with Saunders.
GGG beat Jacobs, it was closer than expected but the jab won it for GGG.
GGG trying to keep all the titles has been near impossible and Saunders is just lucky to hold on to a strap otherwise he would be just a contender.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
