If Cotto is forced to vacate, because GGG flexes his muscles, GGG will still be looking for a mega-fight. If Canelo wins, GGG will still be in the same situation, looking for a mega-fight, because Canelo will also demand 155. GGG could possibly unify the middleweight division, and still be a mediocre celebrity in the game. Without Mayweather, Pacquiao, Canelo, Cotto, Ward, and Froch, GGG is basically on the same level as Timothy Bradley!
GGG's popularity and fan base are growing with every fight he has. If he beats Lemieux for the IBF, then adds the WBC and lineal titles to his collection, he will be a PPV star in his own right.
Obviously, he would like to fight for the WBC and lineal titles against a big name star like Canelo or Cotto, but he doesn't need either of them. The titles are more important.
