Against, Ryota Murata, I think Golovkin can easily make his way for a unified championship. After this, GGG and Canelo should be negotiated.
Keeping Golovkin inactive is not a good decision. I don't know if the decision is taken by the federation or Golovkin himself wanted to be out of fighting, but whatever it is, it is great news that he will be fighting again. He along with his fighting ages like a fine wine. He still fights like he is 25 or 30 years old. Although he is nearing the end of his career because he is already 39 years old, but hopefully we will get to see him fight for some more time before he really says goodbye to his gloves.
I doubt it was Golovkin's decision himself that he will be away from the boxing ring for a year. It was probably due to one failed negotiation after another. That was really a poor strategy to have the guy waiting for a whole year.

If both fighters will win, we might see them negotiating,
A trilogy that most fans love to see. Maybe now Alvarez will take the fight and again prove that he really earned that match.
GGG should have this chance since Alvarez technically wins against him once, if he managed to win just in case they meet again.
Probably a great way to have another match for the last time before ending his career for retirement, win or lose.
I hope they will win in their respective matches and meet again. Both boxers deserve it. The whole fandom of boxing deserves it too. But if there's somebody who wishes to do away with a rematch, it would be Canelo.
