WBC middleweight champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) says the critics cannot compare any of his fights to the recent bout that involved IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs).

Golovkin was in action on Saturday at the Forum in Los Angeles and defended his belts against IBF mandatory challenger Dominic Wade in two rounds. In a one-sided destruction, Wade was knocked out in two rounds.

Golovkin, who also holds the WBC's interim-title, is the mandatory challenger to Canelo's world title.

Canelo and his handlers believe certain members of the media are overhyping some of Golovkin's wins and his unbeaten record.

"Please, you cannot compare the fight that Golovkin had with any of mine," Canelo told ESPN Deportes. "There are a lot of possibilities that the fight [with Golovkin] can happen in the future."

Canelo is returning on May 7th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. He defends his title against former champion Amir Khan in the main event of an HBO Pay-Per-View event. If Canelo wins, the WBC has ordered him to fight Golovkin in the fall. If he refuses, then the WBC will strip him and Golovkin will be raised to the status of full champion.

Canelo is not taking Khan lightly and expects a very tough fight.

"A knockout is somewhat unpredictable. I've prepared myself to fight for twelve rounds. Khan is a fast boxer who moves a lot and also has extensive experience, and he's faced good opponents. I will use accuracy, I will counter his speed. We worked hard in camp to prepare for the style of Amir Khan. It will be a fight in the first few rounds, but we are relying on our experience to get ahead," Canelo said.
