The bigger obstacle preventing it is that he likely isn't good enough.

The only people who would discredit that win are haters that shouldn't be taken seriously anyway. It would be the biggest win of Alvarez's career by a large margin.

James Toney made it all the way to heavyweight at a generous 5"9 and he's very similar to Canelo style wise. He is also without a doubt an atg.

That would be a great win for Alvarez and a huge step towards establishing himself as an ATG.

What gets remembered is the resume, very rarely do negotiations get remembered. If Jacobs and GGG don't fight then 20 years from now younger fans will look back and say "hey wait, why didn't they fight?" most likely not remembering that they couldn't reach an agreement.
Very little fans remember that Dempsey was in negotiations with Harry Wills and that fight was almost made.
