Canelo never fights GGG... and here's why:
If Canelo loses to a Floyd or Lara, he can say, they ran around, didn't engage him, didn't "fight" him... so he maintains his fighter/puncher warrior mystique... BUT, if he fights GGG(who will most likely win)...his image as an unbeatable fighter(that at least always wins when his opponents decide to trade with him) will suffer... I think Canelo can pull off a win against Cotto...but never against GGG... Cotto might fight GGG before Canelo actually does... The networks and promoters have too much invested in Canelo to let him lose to GGG(even if Canelo wants the fight)...fight never happens...probably will see Floyd/Manny before this fight.Comment

And Floyd has got what to do with anything? Simple fact is that Canelo has actually fought consistantly heavier than Golovkin... is there some good reason why they shouldn't fight?Comment

Because Canelo's sustained marketability is more valuable than GGG because of the hispanic audience... GGG gets shelved even though he's better, even though a win over Canelo makes him more marketable(but still, not as marketable as a Canelo that never faces GGG and loses)... All it is, is pandering to a certain market...There's no "good" reason why they shouldn't fight, of course... it's a great fight everyone wants to see... The real shame is how a loss can hurt someone's marketability so much... that's also a part of the problem...
It would be cool if GGG calls out Canelo/Cotto after he beats Rubio...but doubt that'll happen either... IF either of those fights happen it's not till the end of 2015.Comment
