By Dan Ambrose: Abel Sanchez, the trainer for IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) is hoping that Golovkin can get a fight against unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs) next year at 154. Sanchez says that Golovkin is willing to go down to junior middleweight to make the fight happen with Mayweather, and sees there being no reason why Mayweather can’t take the fight with Golovkin, because he says Golovkin and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez are both the same size.
Mayweather fought Canelo in 2013, and beat him by a 12 round decision. Canelo is actually heavier than Golovkin in coming into his fights as heavy as 175lbs compared to Golovkin’s usual 170lbs.
