‘I Don’t Run From Nobody’ – Canelo Alvarez Sends a Strong Message to Gennady Golovkin

Canelo Alvarez went all guns blazing against Callum Smith. He put on one of the most complete performances of his career and didn’t let ‘Mundo’ get hold of him. Post this big victory, there’s just one question prevailing among the boxing fans- Will he take on Gennady Golovkin in a trilogy fight?

In the post-fight interview with DAZN, Saul responded to this inevitable question. He said, “I don’t run from nobody. I just showed that I fought against the best. And of course, if he’s [Gennady Golovkin] gonna [take the fight], I’ll take it. I’ll show [the] world that I fight against the best.”

Canelo didn’t take direct shots at his arch-foe, ‘GGG’. However, he maintained that he would fight the best. Following Golovkin’s win last night, he is the man with the belts and would fit into Alvarez’s criteria of “the best.”

Fans presumed that Canelo has been avoiding ‘GGG’ since their rematch. They felt this was why he moved to super-middleweight in 2020.

The Mexican boxer put a full stop to all such claims with his performance and post-fight comments.

Is it finally time for Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin trilogy?

It was the Canelo Alvarez show on December 19. He landed exuberant combinations and jabs and left Smith with a bloodied face. The boxing universe awaited Canelo’s win, as he might get in talks with GGG’s promotion for a high-voltage trilogy.

Golovkin fought on December 18 against Kamil Szemereta. He devastated his opponent with a TKO finish on fight night. He currently has no opponent for his next fight. This means that he too could opt to fight Canelo and aim to build on his splendid showing in their first two bouts.

This fight should go down by 2021, as both the fighters have nothing left to prove apart from getting into a trilogy. However, it will interest one and all to see which division the duo opts to compete at.

Do you see all parties agreeing to this trilogy fight?
