The third fight between [autotag]Canelo Alvarez[/autotag] and [autotag]Gennadiy Golovkin[/autotag] is just days away.

The future Hall of Famers fought to a disputed draw at middleweight in 2017, and Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs) won a majority decision at the same weight the following year. They’ll finally meet a third time on pay-per-view this Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, this time at super middleweight.

The biggest difference between the first two meetings – aside from the weight – is the perception that the 40-year-old Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs) is in decline, which leads many to believe this could be a one-sided fight in Alvarez’s favor.

At the same time, the star power of both men will undoubtedly fill the arena and attract millions of viewers worldwide.

Below are five questions – and answers – going into the trilogy.
