In the weeks leading up to Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather, you probably read the word “spectacle” more times than you had previously in your entire life. And it made sense. In terms of personalities and showmanship, it was unlike anything boxing had ever seen.
Will Saturday night’s matchup between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Gennady “GGG” Golovkin match last month’s fight on the “spectacle scale”? Probably not, but who cares?
It’s going to run laps around May-May in terms of quality inside the ring. Canelo and Triple-G are the two best middleweights in the world, and according to many, they’re the two best pound-for-pound boxers, as well. Only Mayweather, widely regarded as the best of his generation, has been able to top either of them (majority decision win over Canelo in 2013), and this promises to be an enthralling clash when they finally touch gloves at the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night.
