WBA/IBO/IBF middleweight champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (34-0, 31KOs) will not consider the possibility of a catch-weight bout with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez - if the Mexican star defeats WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto on November 21 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Golovkin also holds the WBC's interim-championship and he is the mandatory challenger to Cotto's world title. The World Boxing Council has ordered the Cotto-Canelo winner to face Golovkin next.

Canelo, should he win, is willing to face Golovkin, but only if the fight takes place at a catch-weight of 155-pounds.

Golovkin told reporters at the WBC's convention in China that he won't consider any catch-weight for the mandatory bout. Because of his mandatory status, he is under no obligation to fight at anything less than the division limit of 160-pounds.

"There is no chance that [I will go to] 155-pounds for a fight Canelo, the division [limit] is 160 pounds, this is my [weight] class. I am a fighter, I do not come to do business. I fight at middleweight or super middleweight. I don't come to fight at 156 or 158, that's just business. I think I would go to 154 just a fight for Floyd [Mayweather], he is the number one in the world, pound for pound, the best, " Golovkin told ESPN Deportes.
