Was Vanes chosen specifically to train Golovkin's agility?

It's been a while since I've seen Golovkin sway and slip punches from a much faster opponent. Was Vanes chosen to make Golovkin a better boxer for the Canelo fight?

Vanes was chosen because he's a bum who hasn't fought in 2 years and can secure golovkin the Canelo rematch plans.

I doubt it, I think it Vanes was low risk because he has no power, so his best chance is to outbox or out-work you. But, that wasn't going to happen because he was rusty and didn't have a full camp. So, Vanes had no path to victory. I think he was chosen because he would accept the fight for moderate pay. I'm at least glad it wasn't Spike, as he's an even worse opponent (though that's hard to even say after what we just watched).

Vanes was picked for "shits and giggles", i believe

He stepped up and could sell a few more tickets than a O’Sullivan.

I just watched Vanes vs Charlo this afternoon. Hopefully Charlo has improved dramaticly since then or he will get slaughtered if he fights Golovkin.
