WBC PRESIDENT SULAIMAN SAYS CANELO?GOLOVKIN IS A CLASSIC FIGHT, THREE YEARS IN THE MAKING By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Thu, 12 May 2016  World Boxing Council president Mauricio Sulaiman says the Saul ?Canelo? Alvarez?Gennady Golvkin middleweight showdown is ?a classic fight, three years in the making.? However, should the two week period of free negotiations between the camps of Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin which is underway, fail to result in an agreement, Sulaiman announced it would lead to a purse offer for them at the World Boxing Council Offices in Mexico City on May 24th. At the World Boxing Council weekly press WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman said it's a classic fight, three years in the making: "You never know what can happen. But it has all the elements to be an absolute and an instant classic." Concerning the notion of fear, Mauricio dismisses it, because ? both men are seasoned fighters, champions and power punchers in their own right.? He said: "People love to talk and that hurts. Social media can get to an awful lot of people. Canelo was very clear saying he wants the fight and right away, so it's a matter of the promoters making it." And Mauricio feels it won't be losers weepers, if the fight is competitively close. He explained: "If it's a really good fight, even the loser will win, with opportunities for the future." But could a fight like this go the distance? Mauricio agrees: "It's unlikely. I've seen both of them fight and they are of the highest quality. It's ready, it's time. It's cooking!"
