    Is there any scenario that would be profitable, that could give the fans hope for a fair decision?
    I could think of one. Let's say it's a fight of the year type fight of two legends where GGG bloodies Canelo's nose, drops him once and hurts him maybe three times, where GGG is a clear winner, but an effort by both that they both can be proud of. GGG becomes the new undisputed super middleweight Champion of the World by split decision. This could set up an incredible 4th fight! Everybody wins, GGG, Canelo, DAZN, boxing, also this could renew a margin of faith in the judges. This would be a better and more profitable Avenue than Canelo going on to get defeated by Bivol and Benavides, which is a road that leads to nowhere.
    What do you think? There must be some kind of hope for fair judging left.

    First, I must say that GGG is Godly. However, I think he is on the decline.

    Canelo vs GGG 3, is there any hope GGG gets a fair shake on the cards?

    It will be hard for him to win a decision. He is older now so he cannot keep up the pace and win rounds the same way. He has to come in and land his punches and get Canelo hurt. It will be hard for him to win, but we will see. Canelo losing to Bivol will help Canelo's mindset in this fight and he will fight better, compared to had he blasted Bivol out.

    He's much easier to hit now, so no. Canelo will probably land many of the better shots.

    I think even GGG may get stopped late.

    GGG needs to KO Canelo in this fight, simple as.

    He already won IMO the first fight.

    As it is No...CJ Here has been advocating for a long time take Canelo away from Vegas & all the corruption there, lets have it @ MSG , home of Boxing with new ,fresh judges.

    Testing to be rigidly enforced on both parties , No A or B rubbish , pretty in Pink Prima donnas having the umpteenth tantrum to edge an advantage , we're all sick of this nonsense .
    So ,unfortunately MS, have to say NO, I guess some say none of this is happening , that was the past etc ..but it stinks & no respect to the whole Canelo team at all...

    Even with 3 KD from GGG it would be 115/113 Canelo

    Nah. There's dodgy scorecards in practically every Clenelo fight.

    He was giving the exact same rounds by all three judges against Bivol.. And 5 of them.. Lmao Canelo has a poor case for 2-2 for the first 4 let alone taking all 4 of them.

    GGG does NOT need to knockout Canelo to win. However like the OP said, GGG needs to hurt Canelo and possibly knock him down. Canelo's kill mode gets switched off when he gets hurt, frustrated or fatigued.

    Don't underestimate GGG because he is 40!

    Is winning a fair decision in favor of GGG even possible in his 3rd fight vs Canelo ?

    No, it's not possible.
    Look at the cards from Canelo-Bivol.
    Look at how clearly GGG beat Canelo in the first fight, it was a mauling and Canelo still got a draw.
    Look at the history of Canelo point decisions.

    if GGG knocked him down for the full 10, he would be disqualified for illegally hitting clen in the face and stomach!

    Canelo would still win every round 10-9 for landing the more effective arm shots
