Canelo Alvarez on Gennady Golovkin: "I don't have to prove anything to anyone, I did my job already by beating him twice… I feel like I'm at my peak.

Will Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin happen in 2021?
The Mexican boxer is keen for an extensive run at the super-middleweight roster. Alvarez will defend his WBC title against Avni Yildirim and will challenge Billy Joe Saunders for his WBO super-middleweight belt. He will fight twice until mid-2021. The Mexican is pretty keen on unifying his 168-pound titles.
The trilogy seems impossible until the first half of 2021. Even in the latter half, it can only happen if the Mexican boxer goes down or ‘GGG’ moves up to challenge him at 168-pounds.
