Yes and No. The B.S. politics about contracts are similar because they know the public wants to see the fight. That's where it ends. They are technically not in the same division. They do not have a literal group of opponents that both men have faced (ODLH, Cotto, Hatton, Mosley). Ands the biggest difference is that both men DO NOT HAVE THE BACKING of the public to make this fight happen Do or Die. Neither guy can carry a card alone like the latter 2 and if the fight does not happen , corporations won't be disappointed. Remember how a Senator was behind getting Mayweather locked up for Domestic Violence even though his kids mom didn't testify? California has that law but not Nevada. Now remember how Mayweather was allowed to be free to make the Pacquiao card but fought Cotto instead? That's really why he got locked up for 6 months. Too much money was riding on Mayweather vs Pacquiao, quite literally, life changing money. Canelo vs GGG will not produce this. That fight was and anomaly and the fighters were anomalies, it cannot be replicated in this lifetime.
