Boxing's No. 1 superhero and undefeated WBC/WBA/IBF/IBO Middleweight World Champion, GENNADY "GGG" GOLOVKIN and lineal and Ring magazine Middleweight World Champion and Mexican icon Canelo Alvarez are entering their epic showdown with each coming off very different performances. On March 18, in front of a packed Madison Square Garden, Golovkin beat fellow world champion Daniel Jacobs by unanimous decision in a hard-fought battle. It was Golovkin's 18th consecutive title defense -- two short of the record -- since becoming world champion in 2010 and the first to go the distance. That had media speculating that age was starting to become a factor for Golovkin, currently boxing's longest-reigning world champion. Two months later, on May 6 -- at a catchweight of 164.5 pounds (the less-than-super super middleweight division?) -- Alvarez won a lopsided unanimous decision over former middleweight champion Julio Csar Chvez, Jr., who barely threw a punch and did everything he could do to survive. Not win.
