Roy Jones Jr. claims Gennadiy Golovkin looks more motivated than Canelo Alvarez
Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. has claimed Gennadiy Golovkin looks "far more" motivated than Canelo Alvarez heading into their trilogy fight.
The two have fought on two previous occasions and both bouts were close. While their first bout ended in a draw in a fight that many felt the Kazakh did enough to win, their rematch was won by Alvarez via a majority decision.
With just a few days remaining until the fight, former multi-weight champion Roy Jones Jr. has suggested that motivation will be the key. While claiming that 'GGG' looks more motivated than Alvarez during an interview with FightHype, Jones Jr. said:
"Canelo is coming off a loss, and he didn't necessarily look eager in trying to even take part in trying to win it. So, that being said, who's the most highly motivated right now? Motivation is what keeps you in the fight, so who is the most motivated fighter?... To be honest with you, I think 'GGG' is far more motivated than Canelo is right now."
