    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, 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.

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

    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.

    That's sad, at least GGG/Canelo 2 was a good fight.
    GGG should just target another title.

    Having the set fight completed isn’t the only obstacle to making a next fight. There is recovery time, and again, the platform. If Andrade wins, what network would a GGG/Andrade fight be on, if Saunders wins same question, if Jacobs wins what network, Derevyanchenko same question? That is a lot more negotiation that only comes after these fights are completed. But for a Charlo fight they can go to Showtime today and ask what they will pay and what date they have available. They are completely different circumstances. And Charlo is also the only option of the 5 potential opponents that can guarantee a shot at Canelo. So 1 option offers more guaranteed money and can be done now. To go around Charlo he would remove guaranteed money and wait. It’s quite clear what the best option is so if he doesn’t choose Charlo he comes off looking bad. This is exactly why I’m glad the WBC did this because GGGs team were quite clear repeatedly that they would never fight Charlo. This is the only way we can get a fight I want. So I’m all for it.

    Wasn't it Sanchez who said they wouldn't fight Charlo?

    I saw Charlo saying his next fight is in December, I doubt it will be GGG.

    All the networks are scouting GGG, he can negotiate. Also Charlo has been extremely quite. He should be making a song and dance about Canelo and GGG.

    And there's no guarantee for Canelo, we have already seen him drop a belt before, even tho he took flack for it. GBP and Canelo will do what suits them.

    I do really want to see this fight, but Charlo should be getting a shot at Canelo (didn't the WBC say the winner of GGG/ Canelo had to face Charlo?) and GGG should be in an eliminator.

    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

    Have to say Andrade bailing out to 168 after being ordered to face a legit top mandatory Alimkhanuly sure waddles like a duck. Or face number 1 well promoted Munguia. Boo Boo will be ushered into a top slot at 168..the wbo loves the golden ticket free pass rankings route. He's all in on the Canelo sweepstakes. I'm not completely convinced Parker doesn't beat him though or dull his shine. And I'm cynically wondering if Hearn doesn't hope so too .
