Danny Garcia is the hot tip. Easy win for Mayweather. May-Pac II or even May-McGregor would be far more interesting.

If and it's a big IF Mayweather was to fight McGregor, could he seriously claim a fight against someone who has never boxed professionally before as his 50 - 0? It surely would be like an exhibition fight and not be officially sanctioned by any worthwhile boxing board.

Mayweather-McGregor would be in no way interesting whatsoever ffs. It would be a one sided schooling with no redeeming features..

McGregor's mouth would sell it beforehand but i agree, completely schooled.

Haye ready to fight wilder if the povetkin fight falls apart.  The Haye comeback has been useless to date. Hasnt challenged himself at all. Pointless.  Would like to see him fight Wilder

Oh it would sell alright, but the shite that would come out of both their mouths would only be interesting to those stupid enough to swallow it.

Also, the Bellew fight bill at Goodison is shaping up nicely.  I'd have more interest in seeing Callum Smith perform again than Bellew TBH though.

Alvarez and GGG have another week to agree a fight otherwise WBC said it will go to purse bids.

Purse spilt hasn't been revealed but it is thought that Alvarez will receive the lion's share of the split.

[Syferus]

It will pay for is hospital bill anyways.

Alvarez has vacated the WBC title. Unbelievable action from the man, apparently wants the fight but wants more time to negotiate. Disgusting antics as they are obviously trying to get away from the 160 weight limit and push for a catchweight - why so afraid Alvarez when you weigh more than Golovkin on fight nights anyway.

[Atticus_Finch]

Unbelievable alright nrico.  It's significant as Jose Sulaiman and the WBC have always shown bias towards Mexican fighters as well.  Chavez jnr in particular over the years has been given some very generous treatment.  He has vacated as it looks better (only slightly) than being stripped. I'm sure he will be getting a bit of criticism from fight fans all around the globe particularly in Mexico.

[JimStynes]

Time wasting. He wasn't really the middleweight champ anyway. Never fights at the bloody weight and fights at more or less light middle. Vacated the belt so he doesnt have to take the fight on other people's terms. He will want to fight Golovkin for a bigger split and lower weight. Golovkin should just take the fight and beat him then be done with it. He's getting on and hasn't fought any superstars yet. I would have loved to have seen Mayweather and Golovkin at 154.

[JimStynes]

Also, I would much rather see GGG and Ward fight at 168 ahead of Canelo v GGG.

"In Mexico we dont f**k around"

What a fuckin Chicken, he got his ass kicked in a sparring sesion in Big Bear a few years back and knows it will happen again.

The fight is not goin to happen... GGG wants to unify the division

[DuffleKing]

Canelo and others are prepared to wait GGG out. He's 34 and the clock is ticking...

[lurganblue]

Joke from Canelo.  Think i've lost all respect for him.  Does GGG move on and fight someone like saunders?
