By Sean Jones: Billy Joe Saunders is an option for Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin if the negotiations for a rematch with Saul Canelo Alvarez fail to produce a fight for May 5th, according to promoter Tom Loeffler. He says WBO middleweight champion Saunders (26-0, 12 KOs) has always been a backup option for Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) if for some reason he can’t negotiate the fight with Golden Boy Promotions, the promoters for the 27-year-old Canelo. Loeffler still isn’t sure if the Canelo-Golovkin rematch will take place.
