How can you not love Canelo? His dedication to learning English is amazing!
🦆🦆 💊💊💉💉
@@goldenking562LBC lol
Cuz he's not black. 😂 They love hating on 🇲🇽s
@@goldenking562LBC sounds like a party right there man go hunting. Eat some duck pop some pills get high.
@@goldenking562LBChaters be his #1 fans always following his every move lol. Sad sad sad 🤣
His English is better than my Spanish Salude Saul 🥊
Booooffff!
He can say motherfucker pretty good!
I swear ya'll comment this every time this man speak English and it sounds the same every single time lol I understand when he first learned but that was soooo long ago. Ya'll just say this just to say it now, for likes LOL
Bro wasn't cappin, he said "salude" instead of saludos 😂
Bro you have cum on your lip wipe it off
"haters are always gonna hate" 😂 well said canelo 👏
Lames are always going to be lame🤡🤣
fight benavidez
@@jm18803 he literally just said that he would fight him if the money is right and he’ll knock him out the same night even if it’s the Cinco de Mayo just in case you missed that whole part and we’re paying attention
meh not gonna work. Fight benavidez
Im in the position to do what I want and want the best fights for my fans but dodges benavidez 😂😂😂😂
Canelo’s English has gotten so good. W Canelo for making the effort 👌🏼
This like when canelo fought mayweather, munguia is canelo in this scenario.
Exactly my thought
Munguia is in his prime though, Canelo wasn’t.
@@CooloWangomunguia ain't on his prime, he's just coming up
Well the only thing, is that Canelo was 22 and Munguia 26 now i dont know rick
@@cervantesmloco2601canelo was 23, not 22
I feel he's fighting Mungaia to get ready for Benavidez. Similar style, tall fighter with high output and pressure
both have a sus defense too
idunno about that....benavidez is at 175 now. unless canelo wants to fight him at 175 ...highly unlikey
Munguia and benavidez fight totally different
Mungia and Benavidez are identical. The only thing Jaime lags that David has better is when it’s time to defend David defense is better other than that both guys come forward both guys pressure both throw high volume punches and have excellent gas tank one has been dropped lol and one has been buzzed
You Canelocas have been saying that for 3 years now! 💯😆😆😆
Even when he fights benavidez he will be criticized. Win or lose critics will still be there
its about the sport progressing. In the 80s the fighters fought even if they lost they continued fighting
I actually want him to fight Benavidez to see who they’ll want him to fight next my guess would be David Morrell
@@JonathanVegaa morell mbilli Pacheco
Crawford
the centraI americans wiII always hate on mexican boxers Iosers have no champions in their countries so they hate on Mexico
Do ppl not remember calling Canelo a duck when Charlos were shouting his name? He beat him and no one even gave him props
Exactly! And the other brother got smacked by plant and is ducking him.
Them lions turn to cats.
He left the division and fought the one 2 divisions under… didn’t even get the ko 😂 yall are really scared for this man to fight AN ESTABLISHED MANDATORY 168 FIGHTER‼️
@@Aquaflow_ Yall give credit to sugar ray when he fought duran who was two weight division lower. And lost the 1st fight.
Love hearing canelo talk English bro has gotten so good at it remind me of when I first heard khabib talk couldn’t get enough of it
Canelos face when he mentioned jake Paul 😂😂
I already knew Stephen a smith was gonna bring up Benavidez
Good it’s the fight people want to see
so what? that's the best fight to make u scared for nelo?
As he should
The blm boxing community can never keep the same energy.
@@jmoney6043shut up
Respect SAS for bringing up Benavidez respect
Canelo and Coach Eddy!!!! Congrats!!!
“The haters always gonna hate” love canelo
Great progress with his English, his accent doesn’t get in the way. It’s still there, but not “ there-there” anymore. Tremendous job CAMPEON!
Shout out to Canelo, really dope he’s doing more interviews in English,respect 🥊
Defend the Belt.!!! Best PRime of LyFE!!! Amazing!! Hungry Tiger!! Spirit Hunting. To breakdown the opponents punches. To sfop and injury. Best CHamp Canelo!!
It seems like every other fight canelos English gets better and better good for him!
Canelo should fight Benavidez
I’m a canelo fan, canelo is a certified legend
No he ain’t
@joelortiz8490 he is hater an all time great keep crying
SMH some people just don’t like the truth.!!!!!!! Your guy is CLEARLY afraid to fight David his answer in this interview made NO sense.!!!!!!!!
Wants to fight a Mexican that’s not David Benavidez. Making business decisions I see.
He's a certified PED cheat fighting old past their prime fighters and little dudes coming up from several weight classes below. Oh and he's DUCKING David Benavidez
Benavidez number 1 contender. He’s deserving of challenging for the belts, since Canelo has every single one. What’s the point of David fighting at 168 if he can’t get a shot of the belts.
Benavides literally signed a fight mid February with eddys fighter knowing his mandatory status activated in March but would of only been entitled to 25% of the purse David just bought time hoping he can get the fight for a higher % without needing to activate mandatory status
exactly canelo deserves everything he has and everything he asks for he always has fought the best
GGG fan here canelo is right David hasn't done anything in the sport of boxing but run his mouth.
To be fair not so much him but his father. I
U gotta be joking
@@azaels911……… David got a BIG Pie Hole too… He calls EVERYBODY out, but never fights ANYBODY!!! Dudes got the weakest résumé in boxing…
@@apache7074did you forget that mungia has 43 fights and Ryder is his best win . 🤣🤣🤣 and you saying that Benavides has the weakest resume 🤡🤡🤡 boi .
Yeah, Jaime Munguia deserves a fight more though. I bet canelo fights Berlanga next, another hall of famer 👏🏾😂
Best mexican boxer of all time and his career isnt even over yet 🇲🇽
😂 you on drug$
Canelo!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Canelo has to Fight Benavidez , But Benavidez doesn’t have to fight Morrell. They don’t keep the same energy
I like Muniga as a boxer. Not scared to bring the fight and go toe to toe but I think you need to be technical and disciplined for all 12 to beat Canelo. I have Canelo but should be a great fight.
Not a great fight, a war!
Big respect to canelo for wanting to improve on his English !
Most title defenses for undisputed 😮Legend.
Canelo ❤
I love that Canelo pointed out that Stephen A and media always talk about setting up other fighters with Canelo rather than his current opponent. Don’t worry about Benavidez, worry about Mungia.
In Luve wit His Amazing!! Work ethic!! 160LBs Xanelo!!!!
Great interview I love how he is smart about his career 💯
Canelo!!
Soo Fast!! He his own Salsa Danxer!! La Fiesta!!!!
Finally some boxing in first take
Why you fighting munguia. His the wbo mandatory thats why and munguia exercised it. Something benavidez fail to do.
Yup Jaime is ready
Face of boxing
Nope. Jake and Logan Paul 🥊
Let’s go canelo !!!!
If canelo was fighting benavidez haters would eventually say he's ducking mungia
i use to call him a duck 🦆before he fought Carlos Baldomir. then Matthew hatton, and then shane Mosley, and then james kirland and then Amir khan and then Austin Trout, and then Callum Smith and then miguel Cotto and then sergey kovalev and then tripple G. obviously i use to say he was ducking Billy joe sanders too and Caleb Plant and john ryder and then jarmell charlo. unfortunately he beat all of them and proved me wrong. Still us haters will always find someone else to point at 😂 hes ducking Benavidez now
I was Reading!! 2018!! #1.) CANELO!!! Highest Paid Boxer!!
Amazing Atleast $3.5 M. !! /FIGHT!! Super Talented!! Teammates, of Canerlo and Lomachenko , Crazy footwork and Matrix speed!!!
glad they starting to ask him the real questions
Canelo gets his credit due literally pound for pound fight dudes bigger than him and for the belts plus the prize fighting MONEY geeez man he is a GOAT
How come no one ever asks Benavidez why HE doesn't fight guys his own size?
He’s fighting at 168, if Canelo feels he’s to small he should go down. Simple as that
@@jakelorenzo8109he's actually fighting at 174 now, and has missed weight. Also Canelo knows he's small for weight class that's just how good he is. Unlike Bummyvidez that likes to weight bully. Canelo has been the shorter fighter for the last 9 years of his career. Canelo started at 147 lbs and won a belt at 174. He's been world champ at the lower weight classes already.
Because canelo is the main star, and according to his haters logic it is their mission to find someone strong and bigger to beat canelo. Cuz after he wins against benavidez they’re gonna throw wilder, Tyson fury’s name next, butter bean, goku…etc.
@@TheGreatestEver007good for canela , still fight Benavides. Stop with the excuse that cnwlao is short and to small for the weigh class , if that’s the case then go down to 160 .. But don’t defend cowardice .
@@silvercomet5330now your reaching . Canela was the one that was wanting to fight badou jack a cruiserweight . And as it should be , he should fight the next guy in line since he’s the champion .
CANELO THE KING OF BOX
His English has improved a lot
👑king 🤴🏻Cáñelo face of boxing 🥊 in the world 🌎🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Lets go Canelo. Be Great, he aint afraid, just find the money to make it.
1:50 watch canelo face change😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
Where’s the face change
Oh do you mean when benaburger ducked and ran to 175
Oops exposed ☠️
@@supesisfodder7427 😂😂idgaf who ran I’m laughing at his face I’m a fan of boxing I like canelo and benavidez you talking like a female😂😂

@@supesisfodder7427take your fangurl ahhh some place else boi . We want the Benavides fight , stop with the excuse and petty talk boi .
Canelo the 🐐
Don't get influenced by stipulations and cherrypicks
Floyd
Tank, Floyd, Haney

@@serg2gr831dont you ever put floyd and haney in the same sentence.
you mean Iike most of your bIack fighters you bIacks don't have red coIored hearts like the rest you have bIack coIored hearts because you have no souI
If Canelo can get $35mil to fight Munguia, why can’t he ask for $100mil for Benavidez, who is more highly regarded by the public? This is all business for Canelo. He’ll fight anyone but he’s made it clear what his asking price is.
BS... Even if he gets that money he'll come out with some other excuse.
@@Periquito_pin_pan keep with that perico like benavidez
He said 150/200mil any excuse will do
@@Periquito_pin_pan dude turned pro at 15 against grown men. He’s not afraid of Benavidez. But at this point, Canelo’s not gonna fight someone like him if he can earn $35m fighting a Munguia. We think of it as a real fight but it’s pure business for them.
Benavides is highly regarded for what ? He has no accomplishments, he’s lost a belt to Cocaine, he lost another belt to the scale, he was drunk 2 weeks ago right in the middle of training camp… His list of opponents are ALL DUDES OVER 34 YEARS OF AGE (except Plant) AS OLD AS 38… Now he’s fighting a 37 year old, retired Gvozdyk… Where are the accomplishments? Where’s the résumé of elite opponents he’s fought? He was at 168 for 10 long years and NEVER EVER TRIED TO BECOME UNDISPUTED!!! DUDE HAS MORE FAILURES THAN ACCOMPLISHMENTS… HE IS HIGHLY REGARDED BY MEN WHO HAVE LOW STANDARDS, LIKE YOU! ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
He’s right about the Tyson and Paul fight 7:53
The ink in Canelo’s book isn’t dry yet.
Why edit out the part where Steven A says that he does think the Mungia fight is a great fight and that he is going to watch it? To please the haters I'm assuming. lol
Xanelo!! Soo many TooLs!! Soo much. Anticipation!! Soo many rushy energy feelings. Gawsh. Has to calm. And select tooLs. And amso premade his tooLs to Floww off the energy, as the 2nd puncher flow state!! Pick or cruise!!

Yeeah!! Fave Move rrlm Canelo!!!

Charky Icy Beast and Canelo!!! Let mee Teach Xanelo footwork!!! Borrow My style!! And a frechange up!! Csnelo be unbeatabke again.!! More Growth!! Canelo and Mr. IcenhouR!!!
I read all the comments about Benavides like is he’s a way better match then munguia ,I’ll be fare by saying that I’ll still give a little edge to Benavides 55/45 against munguia but not cause he’s a better boxer just cause he’s bigger 6’2 so he always rehydrates like a cruiser weight in the night of the fight that’s mayor advantage ,an if we compare with matchups remember canelo knocked out Caleb an Benavides couldn’t ,while Munguia knocked out Ryder an Canelo Couldn’t in he’s hometown Mexico so maybe Munguia is a little better skill wise then Benavides just something to think about…an that’s the reason I descrédit Benavides cause instead of fighting in he’s real division class he’s fighting smaller guys he should be at least at 175 but maybe we won’t be called monster in that Divion ,while canelo does exactly the opposite by fighting bigger guys then him cause he so damm good n strong for guys he’s size ,,,Props to Canleo Those are Goat moves
Canelo the champ
🇵🇰 loves Canelo
Facts
The guy that has 60+ fights ducking someone😂😂 yall are crazy saying Canelo is duckin foh
Crazy how us nonsportsmen expect mortals to be inmortal
of course you need to take care of yourself too, you need to think yourself too. Like asking money, you deserve to ask that especially when you did everything for peope. I love it because he learn that from Floyd, Boxing is not always about doing it for the sake of people, you need to do it for your ownsake too because your the one who's fightin. If your heart feel you need to ask for more money, then asked it. I like it because he was never ashame of himself asking for money, and that's one of the all boxer needs.
Munguia is unbeaten its a risk for canelo like every fight benavidez he will box mentally canelo avoids no one and when the time and money is right he will fight him
canelo is the Real king whoever hurts
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Canelo needs to fight arter beterbiev next at 175 now that he’s not fighting bivol anymore due to injury
Big fan of American Canelo
🔥🔥🔥
Respect Stephen for bringing up Benavidez
As for Benavidez, Canelo was straight up.... "show me the money!!! Show me the money!!!!!"
DUCKKK EXCUSES WHEN FIGHTING BENAVIDEZ
Stephen A hadda mention benavidez lmao
Im Soo Happy!!! Canelo Fiight Day!!!
Remember McGregor? He Luves His Boxing Performance!! He Picked His TooL Boxx!!! Performed for the CRowd!!!
It seems like that fight will happen is just that canelo is tired of being ask over and over about that fight
Vamos con todo Nelo 👑🐐💪🏽
Canelo had good points
You can always count on Stephen A to ask the real questions
CANELO IS THE MAN ‼️🔥
Shout out to Steven A for asking the questions that the fans want answers to.
Canelo completely uncovered everything at the end. I am shocked nobody caught it. Guarantee he will never be on FT again. That last question was... ooof.
CHAMP CANELO!!!
Im Dropping to 168s!!! Shoot. Im 6ft2 of 182LBs!! Sweet sweat!! Spare a Spar!! Help train Xanelo i Will!!
Stephen Smith is like screaming animal
I wish they had Max Kellerman doing fighting interviews
Yoo!! Got off a 9 hours of 12 hour shift!! Balling st work!! Footwork.!! Unloading work trucks!! Making Magic and sweat!! I has amazing new footwork and wressling slams , back injury them!!
We need Max for this interview
As a boxing fan I no longer crave Benavidez vs Canelo.. that iron has gone cold. 1-2 years too late, Benavidez vs Bivol or Beterbiev sounds Fantastic.
Boxing fan? You sounds like a Benaburger fan. 😂😂
Not wasting my money on ducknelo 🦆
Saving it to see the real fighters Bivol Vs Beterbiev
I think next fight will be Edgar Berlamga
If I see a benavidez comment, im going to lose it like oscar de la cocaine
It’s funny how canelos demeanor changes when Benavidez name comes up. His whole mood even face expression changes. He absolutely hates that name brought up.
He appeared the same to me, same expression, same tone, he’s simply answering the questions… YOU SEEING SOMETHING THAT’S NOT THEIR CUZ YOU LIKE TO STIR THE SH!T POT, NOW YOU GET TO LICK THE SPOON!!! ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
He just said he will beat him. If the money is right.
@@themodernmacho oh right, right. That dude be asking for a quarter of a billion too and then and only then he will fight Benavidez 😂 😂
My god what a 💩 show
@@dav34 didnt floyd do the same with pacquiao? It took a decade to make the fight.
@@themodernmachoTrue. But. Mayweather was more entertaining more active. Better at marketing himself. Meanwhile Pacman was a character too. Even after retirement Mayweather was making just as much if not even more than canelo. Really canelo usually averages about 15-20mil per fight. Don’t get me wrong I hope he gets what he’s asking. But in my humble opinion that’s a fairy tale figure for him. Canelo made a huge mistake when he went on his euro trip jumping promoters left to right to get his way. And simply turning his back on the boxing fans.
Why you ducking Benevidaz?
Canelo and His Mirror!!!
Mr. Xanelo.!! Must, No Mistakes Today!! Ooo marakas!!! Shake a -- Shake a-- whack whack by a stafg
Let the HATERS know Canelo well said 💯💯
