Azteca Stadium with 140k packed in? It would be a scene but I don't see it happening. At least not soon. I'd still pick GGG. I don't understand why this fight is so talked about, I've only seen about 6 people say they'd pick Canelo counting accumulations from multiple sites.
But, absent Mayweather, Canelo has to be the top junior middleweight with his wins over Kirkland, Trout, Angulo and Lara. The Ring Magazine, for what it is worth, ranks him as the best junior middleweight other than Mayweather, and Canelo has been slowing moving up in weight by fighting at 155. Thus, it would be pit the best middleweight versus the best available junior middleweight/rising middleweight. There's something to be said for that.

By the way, the same logic could be applied to Ward-GGG. I don't know many fans picking GGG in that fight. Most people pick Ward in an ugly, mauling fight. Don't you? Froch-GGG is more of even fight on paper.
