How was the hype when Canelo was about to face GGG back then?

I was just scrolling through TikTok, first saw some GGG introduction edits, then some boxing highlights, and now I’m deep into Canelo vs. GGG.

It seemed like a huge fight at the time, but was it really a 50/50 matchup?

What was the general opinion on that fight? Just curious.

I’m a UFC fan, but I follow certain boxers in boxing like Tank, Ryan, Inoue, and recently Bivol and Beterbiev.
