World unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin considers Saul Alvarez as a "dirty boxer." On May 5 Golovkin was supposed to have a rematch against Canelo in Las Vegas, but the Mexican was caught on the prohibited drug clenbuterol. Subsequently, the team of Alvarez said that he ate infected meat during a training camp in Mexico.

"I took doping tests during my training camps. We are checked before the fight and after the fight. I've been through doping tests many times. They say: "We will approach you before the battle, we will come to you after the battle." OK, no problem. I'm here," said Gennady Golovkin.

"Now in some media there was information that it was just an accident with Canelo, that he was a good boxer, that he did not do anything illegal. Sometimes even compliments are addressed to him. But, it seems to me, Canelo is the biggest problem of boxing. He's a dirty fighter, because he got caught on doping. So I think you should not spend too much time talking about him, because he is a problem of boxing," Golovkin added.
