Canelo on fighting Golovkin: 'I'll put the gloves on and fight him now'

Canelo Alvarez recorded the biggest win of his career last night against Miguel Cotto, and now all eyes are on the expectation that he'll fight Gennady Golovkin next.

When Canelo Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) beat Miguel Cotto (40-5, 33 KOs) by unanimous decision to win the WBC middleweight (160 lbs) championship, attention immediately shifted towards the potential titanic clash between Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs). The Kazakh is the WBC interim champion and the mandatory opponent for Canelo, and if Alvarez's team does not make a deal to fight him in the next 15 days, then Canelo risks being stripped of the belt he just won.
