Canelo Álvarez says his fight against Gennadiy Golovkin is important for his legacy

LAS VEGAS — The horde snaked through MGM Grand on Wednesday in matching white hats.

"MEX" was spelled out on the crown in green, white and red. Canelo Álvarez's personal logo was on one side. A motto was stitched in red on the other: "Legacy is Earned."

The messaging from Álvarez and his team was precise. Álvarez, a world champion boxer in four weight classes, cares about his legacy, about how he will be remembered among Mexican boxing legends. In his estimation, a win over Gennadiy Golovkin in their trilogy's finale at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday, will further solidify his legacy as one of the sport's all-time greats.
