By Dan Ambrose: Boxing great Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. believes that WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has improved enough at this point in his career that he can now upend IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin if the two of them face each other next.
Chavez likes Canelo’s skills that he’s now showing right now, and he feels that he could give the 34-year-old Golovkin his first loss of his 12-year pro career. Unlike a lot of people who feel that Canelo is hiding behind his catch-weights as an excuse to avoid the Golovkin fight, Chavez sees Canelo as unafraid of the Kazakhstan fighter.
