Let's say Golovkin does a Hagler, goes ballz to the wallz, throws his body punches with abandon, eats a few right counters but finally finishes Canelita with a well placed left hook to the liver in 5 rds of total war; where does that leave him?
Gingerman gets destroyed and is back to the drawing board, his star status and overall health very much in doubt.
Gennady goes in search of another worthy opponent and gives Jacobs a return for a paltry 7 mill $, and this time KO s him.
After another easy KO of Sanders for 8 mill $, he goes for a rematch with Gingerman in 2020, but gets an injury in training camp and has to relinquish his titles, then retires for good.
Wouldn't he have been much better letting Canelo coast to hear the final bell the first time?
He would have made twice or thrice as much money overall with the immediate return; why risk everything when so close to the end of his career, with so much riches to gain at last?
What would YOU have done if in Gennady's shoes?
