It’s clear Canelo Alvarez doesn’t like Gennady Golovkin … ’cause the boxing star tells TMZ Sports GGG is a straight-up “a**hole” who talks too much — and he’s planning to KO the guy because of it.
“He’s a f***ing a**hole,” Canelo said of his upcoming September opponent. “He’s not honest. He pretends to be a good person and be different but he’s not.”
Canelo says his opinion of Golovkin basically boils down to this — he believes the 42-1-1 boxer is just flat-out two-faced.
“He talks a lot of s*** about me,” Alvarez said. “He’ll say, ‘I respect him, his career.’ And, other part, ‘He’s an embarrassing boxer, he’s embarrassing for Mexican boxing.'”
“I hate that motherf***er because of that.”

Earlier this week, GGG told us he knew Canelo felt that way about him … but he believed it was because the 57-2-2 fighter can’t handle his honesty.
The beef will all be settled on Sept. 17 in Las Vegas when the two square off for the third time in their careers … and, according to Canelo, he’ll get the last laugh.
“My goal is to end this fight before the 12 rounds,” Canelo said.
After that, Canelo said he’d like a rematch with Dmitry Bivol — the only boxer he’s ever lost to outside of Floyd Mayweather.
“I’m 100% focused on this fight [with Golovkin] because it’s a dangerous fight,” Canelo said, “but 100% looking for a second fight with Bivol.”
September can’t come soon enough!
