NEW YORK–Canelo Alvarez may have many superlative qualities, but murderous puncher is apparently not one of them, according to his longtime nemesis Gennadiy Golovkin.

Promoter Eddie Hearn, who currently works with undisputed super middleweight champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, has a very good idea who he'd like to see the Mexican superstar face in the coming future.

NEW YORK–Some of the greatest opponents Gennadiy Golovkin has ever faced have never stepped foot inside a professional boxing ring. Which is to say that the Kazakh puncher and current unified middleweight titlist does not exactly consider Alvarez the toughest adversary he has ever gone up against, despite the fact that his lone career loss and draw has come at the hands of the Mexican superstar and 168-pound undisputed champion.

LOS ANGELES – After fighting to a split draw in Sept. 2017, Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin were supposed to square off once again in May 2018. However, in March 2018, Alvarez tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol. Alvarez said he tested positive due to eating contaminated meat.

NEW YORK–Gennadiy Golovkin believes his career speaks for itself, with or without the upcoming third fight with Canelo Alvarez. The longtime middleweight titlist from Kazakhstan is projected to face Alvarez in a highly anticipated third match Sept. 17 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. On the line are Alvarez’s four 168-pound titles.

NEW YORK–If Canelo Alvarez had it completely his way, he would be fighting Dmitry Bivol again in September. As it were, the Mexican superstar and current 168-pound undisputed champion will take on his longtime nemesis Gennadiy Golovkin in a trilogy bout on Sept. 17 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The fight will be contested at the 168-pound limit, which means Alvarez’s four belts will be on the line.

NEW YORK–Canelo Alvarez knows that a significant swath of the fight public does not believe he deserved to win his second bout with Gennadiy Golovkin.

LOS ANGELES – Gennadiy Golovkin has gone toe-to-toe with Canelo Alvarez for 24 rounds in highly competitive fights, but he doesn’t have a win to show for it.

By the time Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin fight on Sept. 17 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on DAZN pay-per-view, four years will have passed since their rematch.
