Middleweight, what’s next?

[Ron Swanson]

Is there any way in the world GGG can not be a martyr? He is supposed to fight Charlo to get a shot at going right back after the money fight. That is not a victim situation. That is for once a governing body doing exactly what’s right because

1)when champ they said they “would never fight Charlo” even though he was the mandatory. That’s BS

2)it is the fight boxing fans want and have wanted

3)boxing fans don’t care about Canelo, let him and the casual fans go do some Lemieux casual nonsense. Let the fighters fight. GGG/Charlo, fu$# yeah!

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.

Is Charlo ducking or being kept waiting....

Don't think we need to see GGG Canelo III

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

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 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.

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 .

sounds like demetrius is going to vacate his wbo belt & not face zhanibek

[Primo Carnera]

World domination for Connor Benn after he beats Eubank!

[Master]

With triple G not likely to ever fight at middleweight again it is time for Charlo to take over and unify.

I would call that a duck. Zhanibek must be good?

[TIC]

that's jaime munguia & demetrius andrade now that have avoided zhanibek

[TIC]

jermall going to get stripped soon?

[TIC]

sounds like jaime has no interest in using his mandatory against zhanibek & has his eyes on ggg or jermall

[TIC]

will jermall ever return to one sixty?

[TIC]

one sixty is a wasteland

[TIC]

ggg has apparently vacated his ibf belt

[Spicoli]

I get the feeling Carlos Adames will fight anyone. Janibek and now Smith also. The division is basically wide open. Two of whom Munguia and or Andrade flat out ducked. I think I'm done with Charlo.
