If GGG beats Canelo, he needs to call Son of Judges out of retirement.

I think this goes to the question of whether or not a champion in a combat sport should be crowned for being the more evasive than engaging opponent. It's a fair question to ask and one that seems to polarize fans of boxing. Personally I admire Floyd's style of fighting and it seems Canelo has adopted it.
I believe Canelo faught in large measure simply not to lose and the only other thing that saved him besides his strong game planning and execution was the sound of the bell at the end of the twelfth. I look at it this way, if GGG stood in and took Canelo's best shots while Canelo did all in his power to avoid taking GGG's, and GGG was the fresher man throughout, who would you put your money on if these two were fighting on the street?
GGG obviously, because he can pretty much walk through the other guy's power whereas the other guy must burn energy skating backwards for long stretches while he attends carefully awaiting some cherry safe opening through which to jump and unload a few choreographed combinations before hastily retreating. Hey it worked for Leonard against Duran but very few boxing purists hold it against Duran that he said "fuck it, this is not why I lace up the gloves."
If Tim Ferris can win a sumo wrestling title by cleverly exploiting the rules of the sport, and call himself a sumo champion, and Asians can grind harder against standardized tests and allegedly game their ways into the Ivies, then (a clean) Canelo may prevail over GGG by skillfully evading and cleverly pot shotting him all night in the ring, but don't claim Canelo won more than 7 rounds in their first fight and expect to be taken seriously.
