What leverage does Canelo have now? GGG will be THE champ at 160 and he'll be the one calling the shots. Canelo had everything is his favor...but now? Nope. GGG was willing to give in to money, location, etc because he wanted the belt. Now that he has the belt, he's not giving into anything from Canelo's side.
Doesn't Canelo still have all of the leverage? He's still the draw. He has the option of fighting someone else in Vegas and will still do a decent PPV number. Meanwhile GGG will just fight another bum in Inglewood.
From a purely practical point of view, GGG needs Canelo a lot more than Canelo needs GGG. I don't think the belts mean a lot here.
By the way I'm just mainly playing devil's advocate here. I don't like that Canelo dropped the belt either.

Who is he going to fight? What weight division? Golden boy has zero fighters right now.

Sure, but not against Golovkin. Canelo can keep fighting glass jaw welterweights, washed up 154lb fighters without their trainer, washed up Mexicans with no defense, etc.

Correct. He'll fight nobodies and make good money. But he doesn't want to step in the ring with a monster. He made that clear a day ago.

GGG needed Canelo for the belt. Now he has the belt. GGG doesn't need Canelo anymore.
