Yo, I usually rock with Teddy Atlas, but him leaving GGG of his top ten P4P list doesn't make any sense to me.
Rumors are that Atlas didn't like the criticism of Abel Sanchez about his training, so it may be a personal beef.

I believe GGG will fight Saunders in June. He is not going to be dictated to by Canelo and give up his dream for the 4th belt. He can go have homecoming fight for many millions (I've heard around $10 million) for a fight he will win win handily vs. Saunders. It's a no-brainer. If Oscar and Canelo don't like that that's on them and they will suffer the wrath of the fans and press if they blow the fight.

That's gonna be rough to turn right back around after Saunders and fight in September. But I don't blame him for going for that fight though, no guarantees that Canelo in September even happens
 
Golovkin only slowed his 4 fight per year pace due to BJS and Canelo flaking on negotiations last year.

He knows he's on borrowed time due to his age, so he's not sitting around waiting for something that may never materialize.
 
Gotta give Crolla props, dude has heart. Dont agree with his trainer tryna stop it going into the 12th, let the man finish with a bit of pride.

Lets get Linares and garcia, thatll be a barn burner.
 
Linares would be a really good opponent for Loma next, and it's probably a fight that is a lot more easier politically to make than either of those guys with Mikey.
 
Interestingly, Mikey Garcia recently said if Lomachenko doesn't move up to 135 to fight he'll move to 140 in 2018.

Linares will surely have people saying his chin is too dodgy to be the favorite against a power puncher like Garcia. However, I still think that's the fight to make considering Lomachenko said he would prefer to unify at 130 before moving up to 135.

Edit: Lomachenko said he prefers 130 because it's his natural weight.

So is it safe to say that if this canelo ggg fight doesnt happen within the next 18 months, ggg should move up? I want to see him at least fight zurdo before moving up.
 
Floyd needs to come back to wash one time, grab the belts again, wash Mcgregor and retire.
