No he didn't, that fight was at a catchweight. And that fight only happened because Martinez was a 40 year old coming off two knee surgeries and a year layoff. He couldn't even spar the whole camp because of his knees. That was cherry picking at his finest. Team Cotto smelled blood and declined a fight with Canelo to go cherry pick old man Martinez for the belt. Good move for them (and for Canelo to take the belt off of Cotto) but let's not act like that was a great fight against a prime champion.
As for the topic, the fight would bring fireworks. Wade got off a few shots before GGG landed so there is no reason to think Canelo wouldn't as well. Canelo would have to do some early work to the body but if GGG catches him early he would be in trouble. I think it goes the distance with Canelo getting a close decision.
