I think he's a special fighter, I'm a big Canelo fan, but I think he's a special fighter at middleweight and I think a lot of his advantages he has at that level, he'll lose when he steps up to super middleweight.
Style-wise, I'm not ideal to fight, but I'm not taking anything away from 'Canelo' Alvarez, he's a special fighter and he's one of the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world for a reason.
Canelo's a different breed. A lot of people think because of the way I made Canelo look, they're going to be able to do the same thing, but that's not true. He's a strong fighter.
Canelo Alvarez is a very good fighter. I believe he's the best 160 fighter in the world. I don't think there's a fighter at 160 who can beat him.
Canelo is a good young fighter, but he probably shouldn't be in the ring with me. It should have been somebody else. Hopefully he can learn from it and become a better fighter. He seems like a good young kid.
I'm not going to say I'm not ready for a fighter like Canelo Alvarez.
Canelo is an elite fighter, and I never shied away from a challenge.
Canelo, let's get it on. I've been beating these guys. Where's Canelo? Where's Triple G?
I know Canelo before. He's a good guy. Good fighter.
Canelo is the number one in Mexico, a country known for great fighters. He is very special.
I respect Canelo's ability and achievements but to me he is simply another fighter I need to beat. Just another step along the road.
Canelo has done a great job of being a champion so I have to take my hat off to Canelo. GGG has done so, as well.
I never shied away from the challenge. I dared to be great and lived the dream, but hats off to Canelo. He's an elite fighter, does everything well. He's strong. He kept going forward. The body shots caught me and took my wind.
One thing I see in a lot of coaches is they try to live through the fighter. You can't live through the fighter. You gotta allow the fighter to be the fighter, and do what he do, and you just try to guide him. Why should I have to live through a fighter, when I went from eating out of a trashcan to being eight-time world champion? I stood in the limelight and did what I had to do as a fighter. I've been where that fighter is trying to go.
For Canelo to call me boring, I mean, is he serious with that? I mean, I'm boring but Rocky Fielding is really exciting. Yeah, sure Canelo. Liam Smith was so exciting. Everybody couldn't wait for that.
Anyone who is friends with a fighter or lives with a fighter, you know that a fighter cutting weight is on edge.
