Boxing fans again will have to play the waiting game for the fight they want to see most.

With the five-year wait for Floyd Mayweather to face Manny Pacquiao still fresh in the minds of many, a showdown between lineal middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez and unified titleholder Gennady Golovkin looms as boxing's biggest fight since -- but it won't happen until at least fall 2017.

Eric Gomez, vice president of Golden Boy Promotions, which promotes Alvarez, and K2 Promotions managing director Tom Loeffler, Golovkin's promoter, met Monday at Golden Boy's office in Los Angeles and agreed to put off the fight until late next year.
