Abel Sanchez, trainer for WBC/WBA/IBF/IBO middleweight Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (35-0, 32KOs), has a bad taste in his mouth when discussing the subject of Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (47-1-1, 33KOs).

Golovkin returns on September 10th at the O2 Arena in London, where he defends his titles against current IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-0, 25KOs). Brook is heading up by thirteen pounds to take on Golovkin at the full middleweight limit of 160-pounds.

Canelo is back on September 17th at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas - where he will challenge undefeated WBO junior middleweight champion Liam Smith on HBO Pay-Per-View.

Earlier this year, Golovkin was named - by the World Boxing Council - as the mandatory challenger to Canelo, when the former two division champion was the WBC middleweight beltholder. Canelo vacated the title and dropped back to the junior middleweight division. The sanctioning body then named Golovkin as the champion by default.

According to Sanchez, he is irritated by Canelo's statements in the last twelve months. Following his decision win over Miguel Cotto last November, Canelo said he was ready to put the gloves back on to fight Golovkin that very night. This past May, when Canelo knocked out Amir Khan in six rounds, he once again said he was ready to fight Golovkin at any time and even invited Golovkin into the ring to publicly accept his challenge for a September bout.

As it stands now, there is a verbal agreement for Golovkin and Canelo to face each other in September 2017.

"It seems that Canelo is not Mexican," Sanchez said. "Canelo swallowed his words. I knew the fight was not going to happen [this September]. Canelo is not a man of his word. It seems to me that he's not Mexican because Mexican fighters back up their words with their fists and Canelo has not done that."

"Canelo should stop talking so much and do what other great Mexican fighters have done. Show what he can do with his fists and not his mouth; like Julio Cesar Chavez, Ruben Olivares and Salvador Sanchez did."

"The Mexican public, historically, follows brave fighters. The Mexican public forgives their boxers when they lose - if they put up a brave fight. What the Mexican public does not forgive is when one of their fighters [goes back on their word like] Canelo."
