Murray almost went 12 with GGG so I feel pretty confident he would have taken Canelo to 12 rounds.
Brook got KOd because GGG broke his face...Monroe because GGG caught him hard to the head...Canelo goes well to the body and did so very well, it was the only thing he did really, vs Lara...but I don't really see him necessarily breaking Brook's face to get a stoppage, and I don't really think he would have landed a ton on Monroe.
GGG's style suited him a little better for Monroe imo because he picks his shots well like Canelo, but he is also much more active...and with Monroe's limited power GGG could throw caution to the wind and go for broke...style wise I think Canelo would have tried to box with Willie and I think it could have turned out pretty close.
