I don't like the idea of Canelo taking a whole year off (granted, it was his fault, but follow me) and fighting GGG. I think he's going to be rusty and it will show. GGG via decision but wouldn't be shocked by a late round stoppage

Nope. Not at 36 years old.
Meanwhile, Canelo brings youth, cute moves, a chin that Golovkin can't break, and a judge or two, courtesy of GoldenBoy.
Decision win for Canelo. Only a ****** could disagree.
If Canelo wasn't coming off of surgery, rehab, and a year lay off I'd agree. You can't step in the ring rusty against Golovkin though.
GG by unanimous decision or even late round corner stoppage.

Yeah, I can't see Canelo's relative inaction as putting him at a disadvantage. Not at his age. His ring rust will be gone sometime during the 1st round. Golovkin, on the other hand, can't shake off being 36 and getting hit in the head a zillion times. His style of absorbing punishment has been catching up with him for several years.
It's not a nice age for an athlete, 36, especially when you eat punches.

The damage is a valid point but he is not Brandon Rios, if you don't think GGG has stellar defense you need to find a new sport.
