Probably the only sports star left today that I would like my kids to idolize. Such a humble guy.
👍🇦🇺
agreed....him and tom brady
I’d like to be like khabib
Pacquiao and him
Lionel Messi as well
Growing up my my parents had 9 kids . I didn't know we were poor I was never hungry and I always had fun as a kid
same
YO TAMBIEN
You had great parents
Have*
God bless u
This is the best English Canelo interview I've ever seen. It's almost unbelievable how good this is.
Graham does awesome interviews in general and interviews a variety of people. Love his stuff
GRACIAS.CAMPEON.ERES UNO DE LOS POCOS MEXICANOS QUE NOS HAS DADO MUCHA SATISFACCION LECCIONES DE VIDA Y NOBLEZA ENTRE LOS DEPORTISTAS ERES EL PRIMERO.DIOS TE BENDIGA.Y GUARDE
FELICIDADES CAMPEON.
take a look at Mike Tyson's podcast with Canelo, in this one he got way more personal, but he was good with Tyson too.
@@402Racing I watched that, Henry did a good job holding it together but Mike was so high. Not the same as this imo, Graham even interviewed Chepo
@@youraveragepasser-by7367 this has nothing to do with graham. Canelo’s been getting a lot more comfortable with his English.
Pinche Canelo eres un chingon, por tu dedicacion y disciplina te mereces estar donde estas! Felicidades Campeon y saludos desde Santiago Suchilquitongo, Etla Oaxaca
No me gusta canelo la verdad pero hay que reconozer que tiene una disiplina incleible

Lightinthebox,In DepthGraham Bensinger,
The pivot podcast/1:25:12/,
This video just proves PEOPLE dnt like to see PEOPLE do good. Canelo leads by example it all starts with the parents.
yeah good parenting is crucial
A child needs a father AND mother. One missing results in tragedy 80% of the time.
!
Amen, so true
Yeah for sure, I love how he credits his father and humble beginnings to his work ethic.
I'm learning spanish right now, and this interview is actually very helpful. Canelo speaks clearly enough that I can understand most of it (while filling in the bits i don't with the subtitles), and it helps hearing spanish from a native speaker.
Suerte amigo! Animos
You got this! Most of Spanish and English is derived from Latin that why a lot of words are so similar so it’s easier to learn. Boxeo-boxing, Campeon-champion, familia-family
Exact same as me I've been learning on duolingo and wished he was the male Spanish speaker on there he speaks with so much clarity even though I didn't understand most of what he said 😂
Spanish is a ancient language very proud Mexicano
@EIon Musk ꪜ Clearly derived from Spain, but Spanish is everywhere.
Your comment isn’t something that we don’t already know. You basically wasted your time typing that and you didn’t “fact check” anyone.
Humilde el canelo, no pierde el piso y apesar de que sabe hablar inglés prefiere usar su lengua materna !!!
Felicidades canelo
El mejor
@alcatraz traz pues se lo a ganado, le a costado por q nada a robado..
Si ustedes hasta suben fotos en la playa con su atun por q el no presumir lo q se ganó
Así de simple

@@valles8390 así es la gente envidiosa jaj , yo igual si no tuviera nada y un día tengo la suerte de poder darme los lujos que nunca pude , tengo todo el derecho de publicarlo donde quiera así de fácil y eso no me hace mala persona , uno puede “presumir” lo que con trabajo ah ganado y tal vez motivar a la gente para que vean que todo se puede 🤑💪🏼
@@SoyEduardo218 exactamente bro!
I know he got beat by Mayweather but this man has something uniquely special that even Mayweather doesn't. He's got more heart than any boxer I've seen in modern day. Different breed right here.
Money Mayweather 💰 He had himself a very rough upbringing, you can look up his documentaries, I remember him saying that they were at 1 time, 9 deep in 1 room growing up, that 1 hit home 4 me, being the oldest of 7. 🙏✌
Mexican people are like that very humble
Mayweathers about money, he doesnt care if the fans get a disappointing fight. Canelo is about legacy, he cares about giving the fans a great night. Thats the difference.
exactly!
that's bull they both have hart especially with the way Mayweather fights against people stronger than him that focus and constant tension of dodging and putting traps that shit is hard and canelo learned allot from that fight he even started incorporating and improving his defense and offence together
Canelo es todo un ejemplo de un súper estrella respetuosa que valora las cosas que en realidad son importantes . Que mas quieren .
The world admire you Saul, your respect for the sport and fans, your heart, faith, talent, warrior spirit, genuineness, loyalty, patriotism, discipline, humbleness. From my home in the USA, to yours In Mexico , to every latin country, ireland, england...all of europe, and every country in between you are the ideal champion and the embodiment of a true mans man, which is rarer and rarer to see nowadays. Thanks and may god continue to send his blessings to you and the fam, and the struggling people of Mexico.
hello, what a good comment, greetings from Monterrey.México, to your land,
Canelo is how we would like Mexicans to be seen, because the vast majority of us are hard-working people who do not stop fighting every day, here in our country, perhaps that is why many leave here to seek better opportunities abroad, but most of us prefer to fight, work, and get ahead, here in Mexico.
greetings friend
Canelo, campeon de campeones.
Pura clase ...mejor campeón que julio Caesar ...este es humilde
Jefe de jefes
Si senor
@@waldo4133 jaja jajajjaa no MMS!
Overall he seems like a genuine person! I like Canelo
he genuinely got caught taking illegal performance enhancing drugs. Fuck canelo
@@buzzkill808raven2 keep crying and hating your gonna make it far in life
@@buzzkill808raven2 he responds to that in this interview, keep hating but it's all bs.
@@crimson3194 I read that he blamed contaminated mexican beef, which is a totally bullshit defense, given that it's widely known that industrial raised meat in Mexico is riddled with growth hormones. He and/or his team should have known the chance of him testing positive was high...either that or they were lying and he took them purposefully
@@tonioberg keep defending cheaters and liars. Make it far? I just sold a property for almost 900k, which I bought for 310. I'm doing ok bud. btw, calling out cheats is not the same as hating or crying....
This is an unexpected interview
Yea man the part of him almost being kidnapped by some lady when he was 5 is some scary shit.
How?? BENSINGER ALWAYS GETS THE BEST
😂
Yup
@@carlosg3799 Didn't see Canelo doing anything this personal though
I am no Canelo fan. But after this video I respect him and where he comes from. He says he never struggled he adapted to his situations. That takes wisdom to know the difference.
If you are no fan of Canelo then you are no fan of Boxing. The man is a phenomenal boxer
@@kop1986 disagree with you . If he was why don't he stay at light heavie and beat Dmitry Bivol or Arthur Beterbive. Or give GGG another chance to put the nay sayers to bed ?
@@kop1986 or how about Charlo? Or Plant how about those men who deserve a shot. Who has he fought his last 5 fights bums who been sitting on the side line and a dude GGG already beat.
@@orlandor4866 Charlo & plant have a worst off resume then Canelo 🤣🤣🤣 If Canelo fights Bums then those 2 have fought Bags of trash
@@juangonzales4650 so let see him fight in the light heavy weight div again . Oh he only fought an old dude on his way out looking for the payday 🙄. You a casual juan . What other fighters do you know off or do you just cheerleader for canelo 🤣🤣🤣
Un orgullo para México, un hombre de trabajo y esfuerzo. Saludos desde Guadalajara.

I like this style of interviewing. Instead of putting out an hour or so, you cut these parts by sections so we can watch specific things instead of sitting through the whole interview.
you and the guy doing it, he gets more views, but they can do "chapters" on long videos and. you can just skip it, but for the channel its better to have 10 videos than just one video.
The whole interview is worth watching though. You can learn a lot from Saul Alvarez.
Such a humble man. Not afraid to open up about his life
I admire this young man and the values his father raised him with. He is deserving of the life he now lives.
I love this kid.
Lo más que escuchas acerca de su vida. Llegas admirar más a la persona que al boxeador. Grande sus padres que lo educaron bien y le enseñaron buenos valores.
Wow 😳 CANELO has amazing events in his life! Wish him the best💯💥👍.
Cómo mexicano y sinaloense mis respetos..hay una rivalidad entre los Chávez y los Alvarez, pero nunca jamás jamás jamás los comparen.Canelo eres grande y lo que te falta larga vida al campeón arriba Guadalajara ver..assss....
no hay tal rivalidad. Canelo admira a Chávez y viceversa, ambos son muy humildes en realidad
Sin palabras !!!eres hermoso mi pelirojito!canelo! Saludos desde guadalajara jal
Very good humble man!!!!!
Ive always liked him for some reason. Cool ass humble dude, glad to see his success throughout the years.
Wow canelo me da mucho gusto que estés dónde estés humilde como siempre
He’s so humble and admirable
To think this guy has so many haters down here in Mexico, has many fans of course, but its so weird the effect he has on some people, hard work pays off.
Idk that many haters in Mexico, it's damn near a national holiday whenever he fights.
@@hardnewstakenharder a lot of Mexicans hate him because they can’t accept the fact that canelo could end up being better than Julio Cesar Chavez
@@montoya2094 I'm Mexican and I don't see those haters anywhere. People were upset at him for failing drugs test tho. Then again, I'm fromm Guadalajara, which is probably why I don't hear nothing too bad lol.
@@hardnewstakenharder I’m Mexican too and my dad tells me about non stop haters they say say canelo fights no one and he only fights bums and that drug test incident was already cleared up because he took a hair follicle test which shows a history of use and it came back negative
@@hardnewstakenharder He does have a lot of haters but many more supporters. The haters he has in Mexico really boil down to fans of other Mexican legends who can't accept that Canelo has earned more money and popularity than other Mexican great fighters whom they are bigger fans of. It's the Mexican mentality of always being the lesser person with the world against him. Once they see a Mexican at the top they can't accept it.
Ese canelo me da un chingo de gusto que sea mexicano, en todas sus peleas enaltece a su país
6:00 minutos para sentir una gran admiracion por este gran peleador.
People see Canelo now and fail to realize where he came from, the struggles he had to overcome, and all the blood& tears it took to get to the top.
To be perfectly honest w/ you, I have enjoyed this interview more than all the interviews made to CANELO ALVAREZ...
“A volver a darles una chinga a todos” 😂😂
😂😂💯
😂😂😂
Epico !!! 😂🤣😆
I didn't know little Canelo was almost kidnapped by some crazy Karen
@Moo Meow Would explain why he looks so different than most mexicans lol
What if she was the moms🤯
@@lenny8511 Look at both Canelo's parents and some of his brothers. They're not nearly as "white" as he. Canelo was born a ginger. In my family the same occurs with some family members from time to time. Some are born white looking. My family is from a place in Michoacan, very close to where Canelo's family is from. Canelo's family isn't from Guadalajara btw. They are from Michoacan. Even though Canelo isn't Mestizo, he isn't 100% white i promise you that. Just alot of mixing going on in these parts for centuries. My great grandfather was blue eyed blonde haired, and my great grandmother was mestiza. It's just like that in Mexico sometimes.
@@karebear9230 Just look at the physical features of the relatives and tell me they are not family .. I think you will draw a conclusion in less than 1 minute.
@@lenny8511 in Mexico there's a lot of Mexicans that look just like that
Saul is a man of humble beginnings , he is still humble a good man , you never hear him swear and bad mouth fighters unlike many fighters of today . He is a fine example for today’s youth , long May he reign as a Great Champion.
I love this bad ass!!
Canelo es todo un ejemplo de superacion a pesar d las adversidades
🇲🇽👍👍Arriba nuestro campeón # 1 del mundo.
Such kind words about his family. He's very.humble. Wish him always the best.
Such a humble guy just like Pac-Man. 🇵🇭
I can relate to this man… alot. I can also see the pain on his face when he talks about being ashamed for the way he was treated. Im Puerto Rican / Spanish. (Spain) I have Blonde hair & Blue eyes, white skin. I got nothin but grief for it. I was called casper by my own cousins & my closest friends called me Benny Blanco. Ive even had other fellow hispanics tell me straight to my face “ you aint Spanish “. I cannot tell you how many fist fights Ive been involved in over that. That kind of shit hurts. That kind of rejection sucks and to find out the ones sayin it dont even speak, read or write it was what made me enraged. I got tired of having to explain myself.
As an adult, I just look at em now like their stupid. What else can I do now? They ask; you spanish?! Yeah. Can you speak it? Yeah. Then I stop answering. If i had a dollar for every time I was asked. Id be as wealthy as Canelo. Anyway people are stupid sometimes and I know what this man went through. If you read this far, Thanks. Dio te bendiga.
CANELO 👍💪🥊👑
Really impressed at the level of conciousness Canelo has. Quite a surprise. A true winner.
Canelo te admiro mucho q seas humilde eres una persona admirable yo pase lo mismo x eso eres mi idolo
Tan digno y bueno el trabajo de un paletero, cómo el de un arquitecto.
Growing up As a fellow red headed, Mexican, I can relate to the bullying lol
And that he grew up in Guadalajara, a city in Mexico where most people are blond, if he had been from Mexico City where most people are dark, imagine hahahahaha

Una joya de entrevista

A true Mexican. White, red what does it matter. This guy earned everything himself because of his hard work and passion, and he can now enjoy the rest of his life. Nothing but respect for this man. Role model for others.
No me puede gustar más la actitud de canelo,respeto educación y HUMILDE!
Most of Mexican star working at 5 years old me too I started working when I was 5 I didn't no how to read but I learn how to count money good parents
Much love and respect from a freckled, red haired boy from Ireland.
Canelo is irish too, his grandfather was irish
@@merc2413 he’s not Irish. He’s a Mestizo with heavier European blood. Just because he’s a redhead doesn’t mean he originated from Ireland stop this dumb stereotype lol. He has nothing to do with Ireland
Que admirable es el Canelo 🇲🇽 lo mejor es que salió de Guadalajara de donde salen los mejores.
Te mereces lo que tienes y lo que tendrás campeón! 👏👏👏
he tells you this scary story about an almost kidnapping situation and you just move on with the next question???
What else did you want him to say about it? Canelo was the one who cut the story short lol
Do you want him to come back a month later? Also, you don't know the order of questions he asked.
It WAS kind of an irrelevant story, if we're being honest
@@keithmorgan1170 a intent to kidnapping is irrelevant!!?? 😂 😂 is one of the most important parts of his life, and a perfect portion for a Canelo movie. But whatever opinions are just that opinions.
Its that epstein maxwell stuff. Graham didnt want to go there or he'd end up disappearing
See that’s right he valued a working father and the mother cared for them all man that’s what’s up I wish mother said she never needed a man
Me and my sister and brother were talking about this a couple days ago. That females are starting to try and do everything a man try's to do and it's completely fine for them to have a job and be independent. The thing is this world wouldn't survive without masculinity and without feminine energy. some woman have it wrong saying" I don't need a man" which is fine if they want to be independent but saying they don't need our energy they are basically devaluing us as men and what we do for the world, our kids, family's and more. Like you said she said she never needed a man and it effected you in some type of way because somewhere deep inside your soul you know you wanted and needed that bond with your father I feel the same way brother a child needs both parents.
@@kuro3864 This is what's coming now trying to humiliate down look a father a father figure. I love my father such a hard working man😢
Canelo is truly such a role model and a character. I must acknowledge him truly. To come from nothing and achieve everything is extraordinary.
Been a fantastic series.
A true inspiration!
Damn la llorona almost got him 😮
Oh shit hahahaha
Haha true
Hater, just imagine how hard those days for him, without food and money!?
🖕🏼🖕🏼
@@mydaddybigdk754 it was a joke fam 😅
I Admire this guy immensely .
‼️CANELO ÁLVAREZ ERES GRANDIOSO‼️NO CAMBIES JAMÁS‼️ Sigue siendo sencillo generoso! 🙏 Dios seguirá bendiciendo cabalmente tu vida!!!
That’s so cool when you have both parents in the picture guiding you even if there is a lack of material possessions they don’t matter parents and family is the grand jewel 💎
“Dios sabe porque pasan las cosas.” words to live by and those have lived thru it know what I’m talking about.
CANELO you are the best CAMPEÓN 👍🏻
jajajaj ...2:21 es verdad eso me trajo recuerdos malos recuerdos... soy de los Altos de Jalisco y se lo que es eso .... especialmente fuera de mi pueblo.... en el camion te arrancan cabellos NO MAMEN eso da miedo.....
So inspiring man. True Mexican at blood. Just what my father taught me
I love Canelo, im from Liverpool UK and i have irish blood and family and he looks more irish than me or my family there! I watch a documentary that said irish immigrants in the usa back in the day got sick of the way they were treated (possibly in the military, i cant remember) so moved up to mexico who offered better pay and conditions etc and that explains why theyres pale red haired mexicans! My gf is mexican and her brother is pale with red hai looks more irish than me! All the best everyone x
He's such a genuine person, seem like someone I would like to sit down with and just talk.
this is the way a interview should be done 👍 ask the questions ,let the person answer the questions ,no interruptions , congratulations on this awesome interview
Level of overcoming, and what you like. Great canelo
Which is why i love Canelo
canelo is a wholesome man.
Canelo number # 1 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽📿🏆🥇
Good insight into the man that is canelo, we all know our upbringing and experiences through tough times shapes us into the person we are when we grow up,
I’m always get disappointed by the translation that most tv interviews give because some words always get twisted and looks like a lazy ass did them but every word is on point in here RESPECT! Appreciate the hard work!
Damn it’s refreshing to watch these Interviews with cáñelo. Very rare that we get these gem of interviews of him
Es bello este hombre, por fuera y por dentro. Sencillo y guapo.
I never cared to watch CANELO now after he speaks the truth I can watch him
Q interesante es su vida poreso es muy sentrado, enla vida uno no nesecita riquezas,si tienes amor y atus dos padres contigo , puufff lo tienes todo 😍🙏😃😃
The face of boxing
3:20 he says he never struggled because he was born used to it I know what it means
Yeah, growing up I had no idea about brand shoes or clothes, nice toys or anything like that but my parents made sure I never skipped a meal and had a roof over my head. I never felt poor.
@@Cornelius87 can definitely relate with this I remember eating only beans and rice. Not much meats or chicken due to not having enough money. But I never felt like I was poor until I moved to the states and realized how poor we were 😂
He says since he born in poverty, it didnt suffer because he has nothing to lose , also since he use to live in that way he didnt know another types of life, I think when we are childs we just see what is in front of us. Hope this explain more
Facts
I’ve never heard of Graham but man you have a new fan. Amazing interview, respectful, deep questions awesome all around
Never knew Canelo is such a wise person.
Mereces todo lo que tienes y más...Dios te bendiga..(from Oaxaca)
With few exceptions successful people who came from humble beginnings have much more wisdom than well off kids.. Never underestimate the grandparents factor!!!
Mi respetos 🇲🇽 #teAmcanelo 🥊 arriva Jalisco 🇲🇽
Saúl Santos Álvarez, El Canelo.
Mi mayor admiración para ti. Representas dignamente a México. Eres un ejemplo de disciplina, constancia y valor. Dios te bendiga, siempre.

Canelo Alvarez mirrors that of fellow great Manny Pacquiao. They came from humble beginnings like with almost nothing .. And now they are the top of the world in boxing and
in a path to Boxing Hall of Fame.
And both so classy..God Bless...
I think Pacquiao came from even tougher beginnings. I believe he was able to become champion at 8 divisions because at first he couldn’t afford enough money for food. I’m saying this as a mexican and fan of both
This is such a smooth interview. You're on a different level Mr. Bensinger
I love this interviews.
Canelo pound for pound number one
Dude I live him such a humble Guy
Coming from humble beginnings makes you appreciate success even more as you grow. 💯 Whoever is reading this and is in need of prayer feel free to reach out.
Love this guy...no doubt...very real & humble man!... reminds me of my family...we were 8kids total... didn't have much....but had food on the table thnks to dad who worked &mom stayed home !
