Canelo admitted he was tiring during his fight with Chavez and had to pull back and pace himself. He was only averaging about 50 punches per round, which tells me he still hasn't figured out his stamina problems yet. For GGG, the path to victory must include a body attack. Canelo is a very strong MW, and can take a punch. Work his body, don't let him breath, wear out his stamina in the first half of the fight and jab, move and pot shot the rest of the fight. Of course all of that is much easier said than done. But, I don't see how GGG wins unless he commits to the body.

1. Mayweather's quickness - he was slow to react to it
2. He was worried about Mayweather countering his counter.
Golovkin has a snapping jab but it's a lot slower than Mayweather's

One thing i know is that Canelo needs to get GGG's respect with power. If he doesn't respect your power, i think it might be game over.
Jacobs has power but also quite slick so GGG respected that and didn't find it easy to pin him down either. Canelo probably doesn't hit as hard as Jacobs and also doesn't have great movement with his feet, although his upper body movement is excellent, but do you really want to rely on just good upper body movement and defence when there's a guy who can crack like GGG in front of you? - If GGG doesn't respect Canelo's power, he will start to force him backwards and Canelo doesn't have the footwork to do much about it and will find himself on the ropes.
I don't think it's an easy fight for GGG at all, Canelo is an excellent top level fighter so how could it be, but i just feel the things that Canelo's best attributes are not really suited to beating someone with Golovkin's best attributes.
