How bad would GGG bust up Cotto or Canelo?

Disclaimer: not a GGG fan, but can see how dangerous he is in certain matchups. Cotto don't need a beating worse than Margs or Pacman delivered at this point in his career. Think he waited too long to get Roach. He beat Sergio badly but GGG is in much better physical shape right now than Martinez. It would be a brutal stoppage IMO
Next we have Canelo. Good fighter, young, good body puncher, stamina issues. Average team of trainers IMO.
If Trout and Floyd could back him up at times--and they did--what tactic would he employ vs GGG? Hit & move? Trade in center? Get GGG on ropes & work the body? None of those sound safe AT ALL.
I wished we'd see the top true 160 guys go at it. Or 3G challenge some SMW guys. Again, his style is good against certain opponents. How'd his power hold up at SMW? I only started post bc Gennady is most active MW in world right now--and has no opponents that are a threat lined up. And he'll be mid-30s very soon
