GGG's stake is much higher than Canelo if he loses.

    GGG has titles and his win streak record, therefore beating Canelo will be a defining moment for him to be one of the greats.

    Canelo's has majority of Mexican fans rooting for him, if he wins the accusations against him may be completely forgotten and still relatively young at 28 and a long career ahead.

    Canelo is also the smaller man coming in after a one year inactive

    Canelo vacated. That will always define his legacy.

    GGG vacated IBF. Or does this only work one way?

    Canelo showed his level against Trout/Lara.

    He's on par with those guys.

    Well that matters, but Canelo literally surrendered and gave his belt to his mandatory challenger. Only to then fight him years later after he aged.

    The duck of prime GGG defines his legacy.

    It's always amusing to see hypocrites so oblivious to the error of their ways.

    GGG literally surrendered his belt too. I guess we'll have to wait to see if he fights SD somewhere down the road.

    The IBF is vacant. Canelo gave his belt to GGG.

    Meh, splitting hairs now. Canelo gave his belt to GGG, GGG gave his belt up. Small difference.

    They're both divas.

    He surrendered his belt to fight a tougher man in Canelo. Canelo surrendered his belt to fight Glass jaw bums and wait for GGG to age.

    You forgot a distinction too. Canelo actually gave his belt to Golovkin. The title GGG vacated is just that its vacated.

    He didn't just hand over his belt to another fighter.
