If Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor never had their big-money boxing match this year, there is no doubt that the biggest boxing fight this year would be between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin. The two boxing stars are set to fight in their championship fight for the IBF, IBO, WBA, and WBC middleweight titles this weekend on Saturday, September 16 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In this video, we take a look at some of Alvarez’s amazing knockouts and power punches displayed throughout his career.

On August 26, UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor will step into the boxing ring with undefeated pugilist Floyd Mayweather in a contest being hailed as “the biggest fight in combat sports history.” In the eyes of many boxing purists, though, it’s more of a freak show. In their eyes, the real super fight occurs on September 16, when Kazakh juggernaut Gennady Golovkin will step through the ropes to battle Mexican destroyer Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. While this latter fight is the one that’s got diehard boxing fans most excited, however, it doesn’t really do much for McGregor. In fact, the Irish star finds both Canelo and ‘GGG’ pretty underwhelming.
