Boding the highest knockout percentage in Middleweight history, any matchup involving Gennady Golovkin generates an unparalleled anticipation, but ironically, it’s his gift which is his greatest burden.
Many have avoided engaging in a dustup with Golovkin, simply because of the sheer knockout power he possess.
But a tear up with Canelo Alvarez is that colossal matchup that will catapult the undefeated Kazakh to super stardom. It has blood, guts and thunder etched all over it, and it’s simply a case of who can last the course of a brutal encounter.
Ruthless offense courses through the veins of both men, making it a possible fight-of-the-year contender.
And a 2016 meeting looks inevitable for these fan favorites, and it’s this type of fight that widens the appeal to the general public, which can only be healthy for boxing.
