Canelo has been on the fortunate side of decisions numerous times throughout his career(according to many). In the eyes of his detractors he should have loses to GGG, Jacobs, Lara, Trout, etc...
Canelo has also taken on very strong names, proving time and time again that although he may be the highest paid name in the sport, he's more so hungry for glory than fame. He wants to go down in the books and is constantly challenging himself to go further and push his limits.
GGG ruled 160 for a very long time. He carved out his own lane and at one point in his career seemed like an unstoppable force. He gained the love and attention from many boxing experts and proved time and time again his world class level(seemingly) by easily disposing of lesser names. His resume is riddled with touch up and tune up type fighters but over the past few years he has definetly stepped it up.
However, the higher in class GGG has climbed, the more pedestrian he has looked. Aside from his iron chin, nothing is standing out as much as it once did. He has now been on the gift receiving side 2 times and has lost the interest of his main rival since losing to him.
Put GGG in front of a Vanes, Monroe, Rolls or Johny from the local bar and he will look like the phenom everyone once thought he was... but place him in there against a more fine tuned name and he will continue to show his flaws.
Neither GGG nor Canelo have any clear wins in their resumes. Such shame.
