Anyway... back to boxing. I think a majority of hardcore fans have little to no interest in the trilogy. Probably most of the casuals do. Yes... Golovkin pretty much pimped himself out following the $$$, which may be tough to criticize from this side... but did zilch for his legacy. I might add that if he thought he'd get the nod in a decision fight vs. Canelo....... I have some beachfront property in Nebraska I might be able to sell him on. Canelo and his "greatness" is of course a subject of much debate, particularly the degree of it. But assuming he's got something to "expand" on....... IMO it should be a live, dangerous body. No weight advantages..... no diva clauses...... no bullshit decimal point catchweights...... but someone his own size with the power and skills to bother Canelo. Also preferably someone in his 30's.
Yeh that's what I'm saying why go to 175 just to leave..plenty of fresh talent there , then assuming he handles Smith impressively leave 168..pleanty of fresh talent there too. Seems a little anti climactic at this point as Golovkin adds another year and probably gets a soft touch to keep him busy as his top two ranked mandatories are the infamous battle hardened 'NOT RATED'. Starting to wonder if they maneuver the nice and shiny but highly flawed Esquiva Falcao in there.
