Canelo is just 31 years old so we can take that factor that he's on prime. It's an advantage over a 40-year-old GGG. If Murata will defeat GGG, non-sense to fight now with Canelo if he can't handle the types of Murata, how can he defeat Canelo which is currently powerful at this stage?
GGG will be tested by Murata. It can also be considered as his training before facing the stronger Canelo.
We all like to see the trilogy. GGG has to pass Murata if he really likes the third fight with Canelo.
Agreed. It is also head shaking that boxing fans want to witness a trilogy for Canelo and GGG. This Canelo of today would knockout the GGG of today in 7 rounds that everyone might say that it was unfair for the promoters to give GGG to Canelo hehehe. Compare the improvements of each boxer and decide. I reckon it is Canelo who has been challenging himself for his legacy.
However, would the trilogy be good for Canelo? What would this offer him? I reckon if GGG wins one of the other championships in light heavyweight division, this might tempt Canelo to fight him again. If GGG has nothing to offer except the past, Canelo will not fight anyone after Bivol except the other champions in light heavyweight division to secure his legacy. He is 31 years old, he will not waste his time on GGG.
If GGG wins against the Japanese boxer then Canelo would be more obliged to fight him as it was included in the deal that he signed in the previous month. If that's what Canelo is thinking that fighting GGG again is nonsense as the latter have nothing to offer, then maybe he should have given GGG the chance of a trilogy few years ago when GGG is still younger and still a threat in his career.
It's not that Canelo have a chance on hanging GGG on a thread again because as I said he already signed the deal. He better pray that GGG would be defeated against Murata so that a trilogy is not possible anymore.
