By Chris Williams: It looks like IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) is going to need to swallow his pride and agree to some kind of catch-weight if he wants to fight WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) in September for the WBC title.
Canelo’s trainer Eddy Reynoso says they absolutely will not fight Golovkin at 160. They feel comfortable at 155lbs, and even at 154. With that said, Reynoso says the negotiation will be very important between the two fighters. Golovkin might want to give in to Canelo if he really wants this fight.
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya believes that 33-year-old Lucas Matthysse (37-4, 34 KOs9 could be ready to return to the ring later this year on a pay-per-view card in September. The PPV card would be Gennady Golovkin vs. the Golden Boy promoted Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, if that fight takes place then. 
By Scott Gilfoid: For all the back and forth talk that has gone on between Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) and IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (35-0, 24 KOs) over the years, you would think that Brook would want Khan to lose his fight against WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) on May 7. 
By Dan Ambrose: Bernard Hopkins believes that WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez’s loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. three years ago left a bad taste in his mouth from that experience. Canelo doesn’t want to go through that feeling again in his next fight against Amir Khan, and he’s going to be wanting to get him out of there fast so that he doesn’t have that same experience for a second time. 
By Adam Godfrey: The definition of a catchweight, according to multiple online dictionaries scoured by yours truly are, frankly, rubbish. They do not convey the spirit of the reason why catchweights exist. You’ll have to confirm this for yourselves. The point is that anybody who has followed boxing for any amount of time should instinctively understand what a catchweight is as a matter of definition. 
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions is stacking the undercard for the May 7 Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Amir Khan card on HBO pay-per-view. They were unable to get the heavyweight match-up between interim WBA champion Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz vs. Alexander Ustinov. The undercard is a mixed bag with the wrong guys fighting each other, and in the case of David Lemieux, he’s fight a junior middleweight rather than a middleweight in Glen Tapia. How do you have a PPV card on HBO where the first two fights involve fighters facing smaller guys in what appear to be mismatches? That just strikes me as wrong. Lemieux should have been put in with Curtis Stevens, and Canelo should be fighting at least a middleweight.
By Dan Ambrose: Super featherweight Rod Salka (21-3, 4 KOs), who is known for being the opponent for Danny Garcia in 2014 in a catch-weight, says that he sees WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs0 defeating Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) in their fight on May 7. 
By Dan Ambrose: WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez addressed WBC mandatory challenger Gennady “GGG” Golovkin directly during an interview this week, telling GGG that he’ll “eventually” get the fight against him, but it’s going to take time. 
By Jeff Aranow: Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions says WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders is an option for his fighter IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin if he can’t get the winner of the May 7 fight between WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Amir Khan.
