You listed the problem with the fight. Canelo's stamina. The hope to make this fight competitive fell on the idea moving up in weight would improve his stamina. To beat GGG you have to move and when trapped move your hands. He cuts off the ring so well there is constant pressure. That drains a fighter. But he doesn't do his best work when things are coming back at him. He does amazing damage if you stop fighting though because of his punch selection and technique. If Canelo moved up and his stamina jumped maybe he could move (even though he is slow of foot) and throw and move again because he has good hand speed and good enough power. But his stamina leads him to take breaks. GGG isn't the guy to take breaks against. GGG makes you fight 36 full minutes and Canelo is not about that action.

For Canelo to win he has to out box GGG for 36 minutes. For GGG to win he only has to hold his own when they both fight and do what he does(damage) when Canelo does what he does(takes breaks)
