Golovkin vs Canelo will light up Las Vegas, but will tonight’s fight top these Vegas spectaculars?

For many millions of fans, and for a large amount of fighting men, Las Vegas is THE place to fight, to get it on, to rumble. The Mecca of boxing, Vegas and its famous and celebrated Strip has seen too many Super Fights to list in just one article. But tonight, inside a packed and rocking T-Mobile Arena, the list of great Las Vegas Super Bouts will grow by one.

Millions of people are expecting a classic tonight, as middleweight king Gennady Golovkin defends his collection of belts against Saul Canelo Alvarez, and it seems only right that this fight – one that has been years in the making – is taking place in Vegas.

Cotto still hoping to land Golovkin Canelo winner for his final fight

Future Hall of Famer Miguel Cotto will be a very interested observer of tonight’s enormous middleweight showdown between Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez; mostly due to the fact that the Puerto Rican great wants to fight the winner, in his final fight, on December 2.

It has been pointed out how, for tonight’s winner to fight again less than three months on from tonight’s fight, an expected tough battle for both men, a very quick turnaround would be needed.

Canelo vs. Golovkin: Money and The Power

Much is at stake when Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez meets Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin this Saturday night live on HBO PPV from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Middleweight supremacy and PPV king status is on the table for either man that walks away the victor. Will the power of Golovkin overwhelm the Mexican superstar? Or will Canelo’s overall skill & boxing politics be too much for Triple G to overcome?

For about two and half year’s this Canelo vs. GGG fight marinated on the back burner for Oscar De La Hoya. Oscar took the time to allow his fighter to build his body up to the middleweight division. Most of the boxing world grew impatient after Amir Khan led to Liam Smith as Canelo’s next opponent last September to make matters worse it was on PPV.

Canelo-Golovkin: Battle of Desire and Skill vs. Power and Will

Fight weekend is upon us and the anticipation from the diehard fans is at a fever pitch. This is truly a super fight between two elite combatants for the unified middleweight championship. Gennady Golovkin (37-0-33KO) vs. Canelo Alvarez (49-1-1-34KO).

A lot of boxing pundits and experts feel that this fight will live up to the hype and we are expect to see a battle like Hagler Vs Hearns. I attend to disagree with them just a little bit. I do feel that this fight will live up to the fight but not Hagler vs. Hearns. I see this fight more like Hagler vs. Mugabi.

Canelo says he’d like to “take out thorn in his side” with a Mayweather rematch

As he gears up for the biggest fight of his career, Mexican star Saul Canelo Alvarez is thinking, at least a little, about the second biggest bout of his career – the one he lost to Floyd Mayweather. Canelo, in being quoted by The Star, says he is not exactly obsessing over Mayweather and getting “Money” back in the ring with him, but he says a rematch is definitely something he would like.

As fans know, Mayweather put on a sensational, nearly flawless display in September of 2013, outboxing the 23 year old and taking his unbeaten record from him. Canelo may have looked like the epitome of a crushed fighter spiritually that night, or rather he did at the end of it, but he would love to face Mayweather again. Canelo says he learnt a lot from the 12 round defeat.

De La Hoya on what will happen if Canelo loses to GGG: “So be it. As long as he gives us a great fight”

What do modern day legends Thomas Hearns, Meldrick Taylor, Joe Frazier and Pernell Whitaker all have in common? They all achieved greatness in defeat (or in the case of “Sweet Pea,” greatness was achieved by way of a draw).

Hearns went to war with Marvin Hagler, in losing elevating his own legend enormously. Taylor came within seconds (just two to be exact) of becoming the first man to defeat the greatest Mexican fighter of all-time, Julio Cesar Chavez. While Frazier pushed the greatest heavyweight in history to the point of seeing death.
