Boxing star Gennady Golovkin has explained why a win over Canelo Alvarez would be the biggest of his career.

Over the course of the last five years, the career of Gennady Golovkin has really been defined by one opponent: Canelo Alvarez. Fans and pundits alike had been talking about the possibility of them squaring off for a long time prior to their initial meeting which, as many of us know, ended in a controversial draw back in September 2017.

Then, just twelve months later, they fought in another absolute war of attrition with the Mexican sensation getting the nod on the judges’ scorecards.

Ever since then, GGG has been determined to prove that he’s still got what it takes to be a world class boxer at the highest level – despite seemingly being in the twilight of his career.

The veteran is 4-0 since losing to Canelo and his eyes are set firmly on finally beating his great rival to cap off an incredible run inside the squared circle.

During a recent interview with Las Vegas Review-Journal, Golovkin opened up on their impending trilogy fight and what a win would mean for his legacy.

“A lot of time has passed. We are different fighters now,” Golovkin said. “It’s the right approach to move on. Not to look back at the previous two fights and train with this idea that is a separate fight.

“I’m sure it’s not going to be an easy fight. My opponent is a champion, he has four belts, and he’s arguably the best fighter at that weight class. I’m jumping to the weight class for the first time and I’m fighting the best fighter in that class. Most likely I’ll feel fresh in that weight category. I think I’ll be ready for the physical standpoint. I think I’ll feel more comfortable in that weight class. On the other hand, I should say I feel extremely comfortable in my class. At 160.”

“It would be the biggest win in my career. It would be the best thing that happened. That would be very fulfilling,” Golovkin said.

If he could knockout the softened-up-from-Bivol Canelo, it would indeed be his greatest win, given his age on top of it. Canelo took damage from Bivol and is softened up and ripe for the picking. Seeing as Canelo will always get the decision (unless blown out like by Bivol), GGG needs to knock Canelo back to the Clenbuterol Stand for some more tainted beef.

GGG is a nice guy and a future HOFer in his own right.

But he's also one of the stupidest MOFOs in boxing.

Facing Ginger one more time, this time at 40 years of age...

Facing Ginger at a weight more suited to the bigger Ginger...

Facing Ginger in Las Vegas (aka: Gingerland), with Ginger judges...

Facing Ginger knowing a KO is the only chance he has of winning, yet Ginger has shown he can take GGG's punches, if nothing else...



GGG doesn't give a damn about losing to Ginger again.

He just wants that big payday so he can ride off into the sunset 10 times richer than he is now.

In doing so he's giving Ginger the opportunity to crow about another (cough) "legacy-defining" victory.

if caleb plant or david benavidez were fighting ggg next & won, would you consider it a legacy defining victory for them? or you think ggg is done?

I think the word "legacy" is thrown around a little loosely. I don't think about Plant and Benavidez having "legacies" to define just yet. M.O., of course.

And no... GGG is not "done". He is however, well on the downhill side of his mountain.

I think Canelo will not get the credit and closure he wants by beating Golovkin for all the reasons you stated except maybe from the casuals. Triple G can not lose as he is the underdog and if he pulls this off it would be one of the greatest wins in history.

i think only casuals are dismissing ggg. he is a unified titleholder after all & his two fights with canelo were both very close in my opinion. ggg has slipped a bit but his last fight was coming of over a year's inactivity & once he shock of some rust he proceeded to beat down ryota. no none can run from age but there are other fighters who have performed well over forty. ggg unified at forty so let's see how he performs here. i also think too much is being made of the weight. personally i think ggg is a tough out for anyone around the weight. so therefore canelo must be pretty good if beating him would be one of the greatest wins in history?
