Bob Melvin would have just looked disappointed and Z would have felt bad enough to go out anyway. Mike Hargrove would have sat in silence when Mike asked to leave, continuing to be silent...

With Canelo Alvarez’s status for May 5 still very much up in the air, and seemingly looking less and less likely that he’ll fight Gennady Golovkin by the day, there is plenty of talk about whom Golovkin would face.
