Does Canelo vs GGG happen this year?

[Eastcoast]

Canelo isn't a 4 to 1 underdog because he is so bad. He is a big underdog because GGG is so good. My guess is any middleweight fighting today would be an even bigger underdog than 4 to 1 if they were fighting GGG. Canelo's power didn't seem overrated when he landed that lightning bolt right hand that almost knocked Khan's head off and left him for dead. He finished Kirkland the same way. Canelo has fought his way onto most top ten pound for pound lists. He can fight and he can punch very hard with both hands. He doesn't punch as hard as GGG but nobody else does either.

I didn't mean to imply Canelo is a poor fighter, but he is overrated. Judging his punching power based off Khan is straight out laughable. Kirkland was floored 3x by Ishida, and the version Alvarez fought was completely shot. Kirkland had been out of the ring over a year and ballooned up over 200lbs.
Alvarez didn't come close to do doing to Cotto what Margarito or Pacquiao did.

GGG is a good fighter but Canelo being a big underdog has more to do with him being a super welterweight that's taking on a middleweight.

It will happen in Sept 2017 most likely. Boxing is a business.

I have a feeling we'll never see this fight. Canelo is quite beatable so if he start losing more fights then there will be no interest in a GGG vs Canelo

If it happens in 2017 ima have to go with Canelo.

Doubt it.

He's probably going to fight Lemieux in September and then GGG next Cinco de Mayo weekend.
