The first time they met, on Sept. 16, 2017, was a split decision, mired in controversy over who actually won. Unsurprisingly, Alvarez declared a victory. Then, they met again in a match that was fraught with controversy for what happened before the bell.
In the March before their September fight, Alvarez not only got dinged for a positive test for banned substance clenbuterol but had claims of cheating in the first fight rain down from Golovkin's trainer Abel Sanchez — who said Alvarez wore his hand-wraps in an illegal manner.
Soon, Alvarez got hit with a six-month suspension that was arguably perfectly timed — backdated to his February 17 drug test, and ending in August before the fight.
And while Alvarez won that match, he enters this trilogy finale in a different position. His loss to Dmitry Bivol wasn't a shock (the Russian boxer entered with an undefeated 19-0 record), but Alvarez was still considered the favorite going in.
And here, he enters to settle the only score left: a personal one. Alvarez, having the advantage in the trilogy, is telling the press he's frustrated with how Golovkin and his people are always saying things to the press.

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez record and cheat sheet
16 years in the pro fighting world have given Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez a record of 57-2-2, with 39 KOs. The WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF and Ring Magazine super middleweight champion didn't walk away from his defeat of Plant with much to prove.
A 2021 loss to Dmitry Bivol took place in the light heavyweight class. But since this was a defeat via judge's scores (unanimously, 115-113, by the way), Alvarez got to tell his own story, disagreeing with the scores. Alvarez, instead of a rematch with Bivol, decided to go for the trilogy fight against Gennady Golovkin.
Gennady Golovkin record and cheat sheet
At 40 years old, Gennady Golovkin is a titan of his industry, with a record of 42-1-1. His sole loss and draw came in his previous clashes with Alvarez, with a loss in 2018 and a draw in 2017. That 2018 loss saw GGG lose his WBA (Super), WBC and IBO middleweight championships.
Most recently, Golovkin survived an early flurry from Ryota Murata in a bout to unify the IBF and WBA middleweight titles in Japan.
