Boxing rarely lives in the moment. It’s a sport -- and a media covering the sport -- that likes to venture into all of the possibilities ahead. But it’s Saul “Canelo” Alvarez who will draw you back to the task at hand.
The WBC middleweight titlist will remind you that he has a big fight coming up this Saturday on HBO pay-per-view against the smaller Amir Khan, which will take place at Las Vegas’ newly minted, 20,000-seat T-Mobile Arena. He’ll remind you that he’s in no great hurry for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr., or a possible fight with Gennady “GGG” Golovkin this fall.
