Glad you asked.
Comparing (40-year old, natural 160-pounder) GGG with (31-year old, natural 175-pounder) Bivol and trying to apply the same logic and strategy used by Bivol on GGG, while claiming some sort of... "secret formula" for GGG to defeat Canelo, well...
Hence my illustration.
GGG doesn't have the speed, legs, natural size or energy at 40 to fight an in and out game that Bivol used. Canelos got a 1/2 inch reach advantage on GGG. He had a 1.5 reach disadvantage against Bivol.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

That being said..... I am hoping for a MONUMENTAL upset.
ggg already knows what he needs to do to beat canelo but can he put together a performance like the first fight? i still think ggg is a tough out for anyone & think anyone thinking this will be a walk in the park is being a bit disrespectful to ggg

A subtle example of selling the unsellable.
"Hey... all GGG has to do is outbox Canelo with speed and defense. Just like Floyd Mayweather did when he shut out Canelo back in '13. He needs to use the blueprint Floyd provided to beat Canelo."
BTW, it wasn't directed at you.
Yeah... ask away.
GGG can not lose this fight, even if he lost he wins. He has made the most money, taken on the biggest challenge (going up in weight for the first time), and enhances his legacy all at the end of his career.
Triple G can relax and do what he does best. Have some fun in his last big fight.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
If by biggest you mean the one for which he gets paid the most, and gets the most media attention... then yes, absolutely.
TBH, I see this as a cash out fight.
GGG has had a long, distinguished career. Like everyone else, he has his fans and his detractors.
He fought Canelo twice before. I thought he got robbed the first time... and I think he fought stupidly the second time (something about doing things different if you want a different result).
IMO, there's no way he gets a decision against Canelo in Vegas. He won't dominate more than Bivol... and Bivol almost got screwed.
GGG's only way to victory is by knockout.
Canelo has already taken his best shots, and is now bigger and more in his prime. GGG is much older.
Personally, I think it's a mistake for GGG to have insisted on this fight. He's gonna lose.
But yes. It is the biggest fight he could take next.
ggg also gets a shot at undisputed if canelo is his next fight, the only other option to fight for undisputed in his next fight would be to drop down & fight jermell. ggg would probably get shit for fighting a smaller man but if both championships were on the line it's a fight i'd be interested in. but ggg obviously took the bigger fight with canelo. so in your opinion the series is one a piece? i have it one a piece, so ggg also gets to try & settle the series. if you think ggg insisting on this fight is a mistake, who would of you preferred him to fight next? or would you have preferred him to retire?
