Canelo Alvarez not impressed with GGG but open to third fight

Canelo Alvarez is not impressed with Gennadiy Golovkin’s narrow decision over Sergiy Derevyanchenko, yet he didn’t exactly say no to a third fight either.

Canelo told TV Azteca that Golovkin does not represent the kind of challenge he is seeking. If it made financial sense, however, he suggested he would consider it.

“If they want me to fight with him, the only thing he represents is some business,’’ Canelo told the Mexican network after GGG regained a middleweight title with a 115-112, 114-113, 115-112 decision over Derevyanchenko on Saturday night at New York’s Madison Square Garden. “If he does not represent a challenge, I will not do it.

“If they want the fight, break down the numbers to me and then maybe. I want another kind of challenge.”

Translation: Show me the money.

Canelo, 1-0-1 against GGG , is already moving on and perhaps beyond the possible trilogy. He will jump two weight classes for a risky fight against Sergey Kovalev on November 2 at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand. He is coming off a unanimous decision over Daniel Jacobs in May.

“I beat him, I gave him 24 rounds,” Canelo said. “What will happen in the third? I’m going to win again. I’ll even knock him out.”
