They sparred once, years ago. Golovkin rattled Canelo with a vicious hook. Luckily, the round was almost over. I'll give Canelo credit, he continued sparring for a couple more rounds ....though from what I've heard, GGG lightened up on him.

The fact that Canelo is insisting on a "catch weight" indicates that he is not in a hurry to fight Golovkin. Heck, he is a naturally much larger man. But, then again, he had 20 pounds on Floyd the night they fought, and it didn't help him at all.
