Canelo is taking the tougher challenge here by far. This is his 3rd weight class in 7 years. He's had 50 fights and just 1 against a true MW in Chavez (we all know Cotto is a 154lber and has yet to return to 160).
Now in barely his 2nd fight against a true MW he's facing ggg.
ggg on the other hand has had 11 years to move from 160 and has REFUSED despite calling out people in lower and higher divisions. Canelo is his 3rd opponent in 2 years that has fought over 95% of his competition at lower weights.
ggg fighting yet ANOTHER opponent that has little to no experience at 160, Canelo joins Brook and Lemieux.
Canelo is taking the bigger risk here, his 3rd weight class over a champion. ggg? fighting just another inexperienced MW.
