Who was a tune up for Alfonso fucking Gomez.

That was a really great fight... Alvarez made some Good adjustments and it really looked like he could have had golovkin out of there but he didn't have the stamina to finish it off. Good plan to take the centre of the ring and tire golovkin, it didn't work out perfectly but won him some rounds in my opinion... The way golovkin recovered too was brilliant he proved himself as a legend tonight, well in my opinion... I think a draw was the fairest result but either guy could have got the decision and I really think they should do it again. That was a top drawer fight and as much as everyone hates alvarez he fought really well tonight and came back swinging everytime golovkin had him hurt.

We all learned a valuable lesson today. You duck a fighter for a couple of years with bogus claims of "marinating the fight" while you wait for your opponent to get a couple of years older. When you finally fight you get an Adelaide Byrd as a judge and get a bogus draw. Then you get caught cheating before the rematch and get a wink and a slap on the wrist from the commission.... thereby pushing the rematch back a few more months. By the time you get the rematch, the other guy is visibly older and slower. Perfect way to continue bloating your resume.

Yeah, and what age did they both turn pro?
Of the very few names that were available for golovkin to fight nobody wanted to know. He's been the most avoided fighter of the last ten years. Alvarez has done the most avoiding. He even created his own weight class at 155 to avoid having to fight an anywhere near prime Golovkin. And you know all this. You're just trying to make a bunch of bullshit justifications for the most carefully managed fighter there is.

Alvarez fought the best fighter in the world at 21 years old. He fought tricky fighters like Trout and Lara when he didn't have to. Cotto avoided him for years. Until he finally had no choice. He was always gonna fight Golovkin. But it was always gonna be Alvarez dictating the terms. Not Golovkin. And enough with the Golovkin was the most avoided fighter around. Yeah Martinez and Cotto avoided him like the plague. But aside from them, middleweight was a weak divisionat that time. Nobody was stopping him from going to 168 and challenge himself if a big fight is what he really wanted

He did figMayweather but that was a no lose situation for him. Nobody expected him to win, it was an event more than a fight. Other than that he's taken advantage of the fact that he's Mexican and has the biggest boxing demographic following to carefully manage his career, even creating his own weight class to avoid having to face Golovkin. It's true that 160 was a weak division for most of the time Golovkin was there which makes it all the more obvious that once he couldn't make 154 Alvarez was so terrified at the prospect of facing Golovkin that he wouldn't even fight in a weak weight class until Golovkin got old.
