By Dan Ambrose: Gennady Golovkin still firmly believes that Saul Canelo Alvarez WON’T be fighting him in September like what his promoters had planned. Golovkin thinks that he’s going to be pushed to the side in September so that Canelo can face his Plan-B, C or D. Golovkin says he’s tired of the talk from Canelo and his promoters at Golden Boy.

Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler is optimistic that the Canelo fight can take place in September, but that may require Golovkin accepting he current offer that was given to him recently.

By Dan Ambrose: The May 6th fight between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs) and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (50-2-1, 32 KOs) is viewed by Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya as the bigger fight than Canelo vs. Gennady “GGG” Golovkin. Canelo and Chavez Jr. will be fighting on HBO PPV at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

De La Hoya says there are only a couple hundred tickets remaining for the fight. He’s calling a sellout right now. Canelo vs. Chavez Jr. probably will sellout well before May 6, but that doesn’t mean that the fight is a bigger one than a potential match between Canelo and Golovkin.

By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya says that he still hopes to match Saul “Canelo” Alvarez against Gennady “GGG” Golovkin in September, but it depends on how things go in May 6 fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Canelo (48-1-1, 34 KOs) is fighting Chavez Jr. (50-2-1, 32 KOs) on HBO pay-per-view at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

De La Hoya says that if Canelo loses to Chavez Jr. or if there fight is very exciting for the boxing public, then there would be a rematch. Golden Boy already has plans for Canelo to fight Miguel Cotto in December, and that’s obviously not going to change.

By Jeff Aranow: Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has a “big chance” of beating undefeated Gennady “GGG” Golovkin if the two of them face each other this year, says former four division world champion Erik Morales. He sees improvement in the game of the 26-year-old Canelo (48-1-1, 34 KOs) in his recent fights, and he thinks that might give him the ability to beat the 34-year-old Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs).

Morales sees the Canelo-Golovkin fight as an even one right now, but he does feel that Golovkin has more experience and technical ability of the two.

Canelo’s $15M offer to Golovkin is unfair says Hunter

By Dan Ambrose: Trainer Virgil Hunter doesn’t agree with the $15 million offer that Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and his promoters at Golden Boy Promotions is making to IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin for a fight in September. Hunter thinks Canelo and Golden Boy are waiting for Golovkin to get old before they fight him. Golovkin is about to turn 35, so it’s quite possible that they can wait him out until he’s older and no longer the fighter he is today before finally agreeing to fight him.

As far as Hunter is concerned, it’s not a fair offer that Canelo is giving to Triple G, because he wouldn’t be making the big money if he wasn’t fighting the Kazakhstan star. Hunter sees Canelo and Golden Boy waiting Golovkin out until he gets old or gets beaten by someone before they chose to fight him. He can understand that move, because it keeps Canelo from taking another loss on his record.

By Jeff Aranow: Golden Boy Promotions President Eric Gomez says that his company is still planning on matching their star Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs) against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs0 in a big pay-per-view fight on HBO in September of this year.

That’s the idea that Golden Boy still wants to carry out. However, before the Canelo-Golovkin fight can take place, both fighters will need to get through their fights before then. Golovkin has a WBA ordered fight against Daniel Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) on March 18 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

By Dan Ambrose: Saul “Canelo” Alvarez says Gennady “GGG” Golovkin has already been given an offer that he doesn’t deserve in the $15 million offer Golden Boy made to him for a fight in September this year. Canelo says that if Golovkin doesn’t accept the offer then there is no fight between them. Unfortunately, it sounds like the offer from Golden Boy and Canelo to Golovkin was a ‘take it or leave it offer’ rather than a starting point for negotiations.

There’s a lot of boxing fans that want to see Golovkin and Canelo fight each other. They’re both very popular fighters.

By Allan Fox: Floyd Mayweather Jr. is still insisting that Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will beat IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin when he finally decides it’s time to face him. Mayweather says that Canelo isn’t ducking the 34-year-old Golovkin despite the evidence appearing to prove that.

Canelo has already vacated his WBC middleweight title to avoid fighting Golovkin in the past. There’s no way you can spin a move like that, because it’s pretty much academic that Canelo ducked Golovkin.

By Dan Ambrose: IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) says he’ll beat Saul “Canelo” Alvarez if that fight happens in the future. Right now, Triple G says he sees Canelo as “Nothing,” because all does is talk and talk without putting a signed contract in front of him. Golovkin, 34, says he feels like he’s only 25, so if the idea for Canelo and Golden Boy to wait out until he gets old, it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.

Golovkin points out that he’s sparred with Canelo in the past, and the Mexican knows who he is from those sparring sessions.
