    GGG will brutally stop him and end his career.

    1. The fight is a blowout.
      Much rather see Canelo fight Andrade or julien Williams. I still don't think he has the skill to compete with Lara.
      People who wanna see Canelo vs Ggg are just Canelo haters and wanna see blood. See how tough and how much punishment he can take without quitting.

    He either goes down as too scared to defend a title or collects another loss when he fights GGG

    A million miles away, the likes of Chavez, Sanchez and Morales etc are levels above him. Those three would die of shame before disgracefully ducking their biggest challenge as Canelo did.

    Add Carlos Zarate and Miguel Canto to that list.

    Yup. Zarate is a great fighter, but I find him to be overrated in terms of greatness.

    5th or 6th greatest Mexican IMO, what about you?
    so it's 1. Chavez 2. Olivares 3. Saldivar 4. Sanchez 5. Canto/Marquez
    (I have Marquez beating Norwood and Chris John).

    Can't argue against that listing. Canelo will never break into the top 5 imo.

    Chavez never ducked Sweet Pea. Barrera and Morales never ducked Pac. He is only a couple of wins above Chavez jr.

    Popularity and actual greatness are related, but distinctly different things. A past it Duran, physically overmatched and going against a 6'1" Barkley fights toe to toe and puts Barkley on his ass while actually winning a title! that my friend is exhibit A greatness. Canelo and his team concerned about losing to GGG and ducking that fight while resorting to B level machinations well, is there really anything left to say. Olivares, Sanchez, Chavez, that is greatness when did you ever hear the whispers of Mexican and coward in the same sentence? today those are the whispers surrounding Canelo and his camp.

    Man not only did Barrera and Morales not duck Pacquiao. They seemed him out when Pacquiao was young, hungry and not really worth the risk.

    While Canelo just ducked his mandatory and was stripped.

    Big difference between them.
