    I'd love to see him face Jacobs next, then face Canelo in Sep.
    Here’s my problem with a third Canelo fight. Let’s say that GGG got the decision in both fights. Let’s pretend that the judges saw it like 85% of the spectators. Would facing Canelo a third time really be a fight you would be calling for?

    That’s my problem. They were entertaining fights, but I would much rather see him fight another top middleweight that he hasn’t fought before or even Jacobs who has earned a rematch because of how close the first fight was. I don’t take bad judging into account when I rank who the best fighters are or who they should fight in the future
    To your first question, I would like to see a 3rd fight, I wasn't really interested in the rematch as I thought GGG had won the first, but GGG was getting a good payday and the chance to correct the wrong, so I wasn't that fussed.

    The 2nd fight was really good and I would like to see a repeat of that. GGG has slipped enough and Canelo has improved enough to where a 3rd fight is 50/50 and has the makings of another exciting gruelling battle. And again it would be another big payday for GGG and Canelo I guess is the 'champion'.

    That's not saying that I wouldn't want see GGG fight Jacobs, Charlo, Saunders, Andrade or Brant, but Canelo 2 was more entertaining for me than GGG/Jacobs, Andrade and Brant fights don't strike me as barn burners.

    It also depends on what network GGG goes with. ESPN could get him Brant, Showtime could get him Charlo, DAZN gets him closer to Canelo, and could get him Jacobs, Andrade etc.

    I would also like to see some of these other guys fight each other as well.

    I get all of that, but are you wanting a third Canelo fight only because of judging sake? Because if GGG got the decision in both fights, I would be shocked if you or anybody else would be saying a third fight between the two were anywhere near acceptable over GGG fighting other top fighters.

    No not for judging sake, based off the last fight, I want to see that again. As I said, it was more entertaining for me than GGG/Jacobs. Which is the fight I would like to see GGG take next.

    Let's be realistic, if GGG signs to fight 1 of these guys, let's say it is Jacobs. There is no reason that fights between the likes of Charlo, Andrade, Brant, Derevyanchenko, Saunders can't happen. We could at least hope for at least 1 other fight to be made between those guys.

    I for sure agree that these guys should fight each other too. I’m not disputing that. GGG is at the end of his career and finally has a good crop of MWs to pick from and it will be disappointing if he doesn’t fight them before getting too old. Canelo also should be fighting top MWs instead of going up and fighting a less than stellar fighter.

    I also understand that networks are an obvious roadblock for certain fights being made, but it’s just hard to believe you when you say that you would prefer GGG-Canelo 3 (if GGG had officially won both fights) instead of them both facing other MWs. Entertainment is a big part of sports, and I like brawls as much as the next guy, but I would much rather see who the best is rather than seeing two guys keep fighting each other and avoiding the other guys in the division.

    Like I said, I didn't really care for the rematch but it happened and here we are. After seeing the 2nd fight, I think a 3rd will be awesome.

    Had GGG won both fights, I'd still like to see a third, because it's a good fight between 2 top guys. And I'm sure would still GGG's biggest payday.

    I would have preferred GGG to face Jacobs in a rematch, rather than the Canelo rematch, but that didn't happen. Now I'd prefer to see him face Jacobs and then Canelo in September. I don't see anything wrong with that.
