Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennadiy Golovkin: 5 questions – and answers – going into trilogy

(Editor’s note: This story originally published at Boxing Junkie, part of the USA TODAY Network.)

The third fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin is just days away.

The future Hall of Famers fought to a disputed draw at middleweight in 2017, and Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs) won a majority decision at the same weight the following year. They’ll finally meet a third time on pay-per-view this Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, this time at super middleweight.

The biggest difference between the first two meetings – aside from the weight – is the perception that the 40-year-old Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs) is in decline, which leads many to believe this could be a one-sided fight in Alvarez’s favor.

At the same time, the star power of both men will undoubtedly fill the arena and attract millions of viewers worldwide.

Below are five questions – and answers – going into the trilogy.
