WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
That Chavez fight could arguably have been the worst fight I ever watched.

Canelo's good, and while he is currently the cash cow of boxing, I don't feel like he's THAT dude in boxing. I think it's cool that he's been doing his numbers (2.2M vs. Floyd, 900k vs. Cotto and supposedly over 1M vs. Chavez), but if he wins against GGG (which like I said will probably generate somewhere between 1.5-2.5M), I don't want him to get cocky and think that he owns boxing, but he will indeed think that. But with that kind of exposure, if GGG wins, that could really encourage Floyd to at least consider a GGG fight at 160 for his inevitable 50th bout, which would be way more interesting than Floyd-Macgregor (or Floyd-Canelo II)

But it doesn't mean that he can't be backed into a corner and have to go with an option that he didn't necessarily want to. I'm reminded of the Mosley fight. Floyd wasn't necessarily scared, but for a while it didn't seem like he was that interested in fighting him (even though Mosley was coming off of a pretty good run so it's not like he was a bum) especially when he popped up in the ring after Floyd beat Marquez, but when Mosley-Berto was cancelled, then Mosley became available and was really the only option. Either him or Manny.
So GGG winning doesn't mean Floyd will have to fight him, but it would really diminish the appeal of a Macgregor fight, because even if Canelo wins and has more experience this time around, we've already seen them fight, and it wasn't that close the first time. And while Floyd tends to want the easy money, I just don't see a Macgregor fight outgrossing a GGG fight. I don't care if Macgregor brings the UFC crowd, I just don't see it bringing so much more to the table.

but GGG would probably beat him.. floyd don't wana come out retirement to go 49-1 .. he's guna fight mcgregor for that 50th win under the guise of doing it for the money

They should all just say fuck Floyd, and the winner of GGG-Canelo fights Macgregor. That would be cool and a lot more entertaining than him fighting Floyd.

After GGG/Canelo, the winner will give us some bum fights to capitalize off the name that fight will bring them. Which I can't blame them for, it is a business after all.
So during that down time, I say winner of Spence/Brook (hopefully Spence) calls out Thurman. Then we get a Thurman/Spence super fight & the winner fights the LOSER of the GGG/Canelo fight, then the winner fights the winner of GGG/Canelo.
So hypothetically broken down...
GGG beats Canelo.
Spence beats Brook.
Spence fights Thurman & beats Thurman.
Spence fights Canelo & beats Canelo.
Then we get GGG/Spence.
Only problem with that if it happened is GGG would probably just be a little too old & Spence would be in his prime.
But boxing would thrive if they set it up like that.
