How Canelo performs against GGG will tell a lot.
I think he looks really tired and a bit worn out. This shift from wanting to be a knock-out artist and only starting to focus on throwing single full power shots looks to be taking his toll.
He has put his body through a lot to become a "power first" fighter. I feel Reynoso made a big mistake in turning Canelo away from becoming a complete boxer. He should have focused on improving on Canelo's weaker points, his footwork and his stamina, instead of having him walk his opponent down and just whaling away at them.
Now his weaker points will become even more problematic if his opponent is a mover and he can't put him away.
His punch selection is also starting to be predictable and limited.

Canelo started by taking pointers from Mayweather to wanting to be Mike Tyson. It's a shame.
This will make it harder and harder for him to keep up, both in his fights as in training as he gets older.

He should take a year off to fully recover from fighting so much and living in the gym and then go back to boxing instead of walking everybody down.
