By Dan Ambrose: WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders’ promoter Frank Warren says he’s spoken to IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler about a GGG-Saunders fight if Triple G beats Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez on May 5th in their rematch on HBO pay-per-view.

By Stanley White: Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 KOs) has a warning message to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) in letting him know that he’s coming for him, and that he’s getting older and slower. Jermall, 27, views Canelo as being older than him despite the two fighters being the same age at 27. However, Canelo has more ring mileage on him due to his long 13-year pro career and his grueling fight with Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin last September.

By Dan Ambrose: Former WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin says Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin fights the same way each time while Saul Canelo Alvarez adapts each time he competes. Quillin isn’t coming right out to make a prediction for the Canelo-GGG 2 rematch on May 5, but he seems to be giving Canelo the best chance of winning due to his ability to adapt.
By Dan Ambrose: Tom Loeffler says there won’t be an immediate 3rd fight between IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez after their May 5th rematch.
