By Dan Ambrose: IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin says he felt bad for welterweight Amir Khan last Saturday night in his 6th round knockout loss to the much bigger WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Golovkin said it was a bad fight for boxing because of how much bigger Canelo was.
Golovkin saw the fight as a business fight for Canelo, and he notes that he’s still never beaten a true middleweight before. Golovkin says Canelo’s fights against Floyd Mayweather, Khan, Miguel Cotto and James Kirkland were all against smaller fighters that were not middleweights.
