Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs) believes middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) and his handlers are always talking about him in a non-stop manner.

Canelo sees no reason to mention Golovkin his interviews. He wants to do his talking when they actually step in the ring to fight each other.

The WBO junior middleweight champion is moving up in weight for his next contest, when he takes a leap to 164.5-pounds to fight countryman Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in a grudge match from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

If Canelo wins, there is a possibility that he will challenge Golovkin for the WBC, WBA, IBF, IBO middleweight titles in September. Their respective promoters are involved in ongoing negotiations for a pay-per-view fight during Mexican Independence Day weekend. There are some issues in reaching an agreement, with the financial terms being the biggest obstacle to overcome at the moment.

Golovkin was in action last month, when he went the twelve round distance for the first time in his career to win a unanimous decision over mandatory challenger Daniel Jacobs at New York's Madison Square Garden.

"I never mention him in my interviews. They are always the ones who are grabbing at me, mentioning my name and saying this or that about me," Canelo told ESPN Deportes.

"They are the ones who have made a name for themselves based on being shouting, because, truthfully, those who shout are doing it only because they want to be heard."

Canelo was ordered last year, when he was the WBC middleweight champion, to make mandatory defense against Golovkin. The fight fell out when when Canelo vacated the belt and returned to junior middleweight. The sanctioning body then named Golovkin as their new champion by default. Although Canelo and his promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, had made it clear since last summer that a fight with Golovkin would take place in September 2017 at the earliest.
