GENNADY GOLOVKIN’S former trainer claimed there are only three fighters who can beat Canelo Alvarez.

Sanchez twice cornered GGG against the Mexican superstar, with the first ending in a controversial draw in 2017 that many felt Golovkin deserved to win, before losing the rematch a year later.

Golovkin has since left the esteemed coach but will fight in a trilogy bout with Canelo this September.

Sanchez still believes the Kazakh, along with David Benavidez and Artur Beterbiev, potentially have the beating of boxing’s pound-for-pound best.

He told FightHype earlier this year: “The only people who can be a tough fight for Canelo are Beterbiev, Benavidez, and a well-trained Golovkin.

“Those are the only people who can beat Canelo. The ones who walk him down. These are the only ones who can threaten him.” 

Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions offered Canelo the chance to fight Jermall Charlo, 32, and Benavidez, 25.

But he opted for Eddie Hearn’s two-bout deal against Dmitry Bivol on May 7 and then Golovkin in September.

Benavidez has campaigned to fight Canelo but instead faced David Lemieux, the Canadian GGG beat in 2015.

Light-heavyweight Beterbiev, 37, is the sport’s only champ with a 100 per cent knockout ratio, standing at 18-0.

But Canelo opted to fight Russian Bivol instead, returning to 175lb for the first time since knocking out Sergey Kovalev in 2019.
