GGG you had a great run. Come back down to middleweight & let’s fight for those belts you still have in December or just pass em over & I’ll look after them for the next couple years while you enjoy retirement… you earned it champ.

Father Time comes to us all my man, but AJ still has miles left on his clock. I think GGG has had a great career, but he’s likely at the end. He can’t drop down a level, and I can’t see him challenging in eliminators again, so he’s likely done. https://t.co/XbcWBZIhAc

Astonished by those cards. Informal poll of press row had it 10-2, 11-1. Just wild. https://t.co/5g9a0ZebKX

Canelo always had this fight in his back pocket. Not impressive. Benavidez is the real test at 168 not a 40 year old GGG.

I love Canelo humbleness even with the bad blood between them! The bad words! It takes a lot to be that way after a fight! It’s cool to see #CaneloVsGGG3
