But De La Hoya vowed Friday to call Golovkin's promoter, Tom Loeffler, if Alvarez beats Khan and open talks. "I'm up against a great fighter in Canelo, but with my focus, my hard work, my trainer and conditioning coach, I'm confident I can go in and win this fight," Khan said. That subject has been a touchy one for Alvarez, who insists he feels more comfortable fighting around the super-welterweight limit of 154 pounds. Alvarez weighed in at the catchweight limit of 155 pounds for his first World Boxing Council middleweight title defense Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena against England's Amir Khan, who also weighed 155. Former 140-pound world champion Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) couldn't convince Alvarez to agree to a rehydration weight limit, and the challenger expects to weigh at least 10 pounds less than Alvarez at the first bell.
