I will spotlight the multiple reasons why Canelo-GGG might not happen, but for now here is the most immediate reason from Canelo himself.
Here is his full quote after the fight when asked if he will fight GGG.
“I’m not afraid of any fighter. GGG is a great fighter, and he is my friend. I have respect for him, but if we do fight it’s going to be at my weight class. I’m the champion, I don’t have to do what he wants.”
The issue is that Canelo is the lineal champion, WBC champion and believes he is the A-side of the promotion.
GGG is the true middleweight champ, mainly because he has more of the belts and he fights at the true middleweight limit of 160.
Canelo will get stripped of the belt if he doesn’t come to terms with GGG and it doesn’t look like he cares at this point.
We will see.
