THREE WEEKS AFTER the cartoonishly hyped but surprisingly good showdown between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor comes the Sept. 16 middleweight unification bout between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin at T-Mobile Arena. The latter matchup doesn't have the intergalactic buzz or big money of the former, but it wins on boxing bona fides.
