GGG is favored and all but Canelo has not been hurt what so ever since i have watch him so it will be interesting. GGG better win because if not he was nothing but a can crusher this is the only elite fighter he has faced should be good though.
I think the biggest problem is that golovkin has been the interim wbc champ since 2014 and is trying to unify the belts, so he had been waiting for a long time. A lot of that time was from when martinez or cotto was champ though and that seems to have carried onto canelo, which is slightly unfair on him. I think the wbc are the ones that are really to blame here, they keep allowing guys whether it be canelo or cotto to side step golovkin and fight at these crap catchweights.

I don't think canelo is quite ready for golovkin yet and he needs to work his way up and actually fight some real middleweights before he gets in there with ggg but he and his team have backed him into a bit of a corner by taking on khan and having the belt, it's going to look very bad for him unless he takes on golovkin next ... I am a big fan of canelo, I really like the way he fights so I hope this fight happens soon and at 160lbs, I also think it will be a lot more interesting than people think, it will make for great viewing !
