Canelo-Jacobs / May 4th Las Vegas / WHO WINS (poll)

Another good thing about this fight is it forces GGG to look elsewhere. Get over the two robberies, Gennady. There's other fish in the middleweight seas.

True, but he'll get sh-t for Brant or Andrade. Smith at 168?

I would love to see him face Derevyanchenko, but along with Saunders it's high risk, low reward.

How about Charlo? That seems the name that would get him the most $$$ of the three (vs Brant or Andrade). I don't know about him moving to 168. He's been cemented at middleweight for like forever... and at this age it seems unlikely he'd make a move up and be successful. Most elite 168-pounders I believe wreck him. Agree on Dere and Saunders being hi-risk, lo-reward. I'd go for Charlo if I was him.

Yea I wouldn't mind Charlo, but I feel he owes Korobov a rematch (doubt that happens tho).

You're probably right on that, but I'm looking at it from the GGG age factor point of view. GGG will be 37 in a couple of months, and middleweight isn't like the heavies, where you can apparently fight into your 40's. The clock is ticking and GGG should be anxious to leave the Canelo fiascos in the rearview mirror. If he really wants one or two more big money fights before retiring, Charlo makes all the sense in the world. Charlo can always rematch Korobov later down the road.

Personally I think GGG needs to make a statement with his opponent choice, for me that would be Derevyanchenko. I would also be happy with Smith at 168.
