1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,360 It's my honor to be joined today on the podcast by none other than the 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,119 undisputed super middleweight champ of the world, future Hall of Famer, one of 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,080 the greats to ever do it, Canelo Alvarez. Canello, You've got this 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,880 big, big fight coming up September thirtieth, Team Mobile Ring to show a 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,879 time pay per view. You're defending the undisputed super middleweight title against Jamila Charlo. 6 00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:26,199 Thank you for doing this. Have you been I'm great, feel great, 7 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:31,399 and I'm just waiting for septemid Daddy like all of us are you know? 8 00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:34,159 And you say you're waiting for September thirtieth, And it makes me always 9 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,439 think when fighters get in the position such as yourself, at the top of 10 00:00:37,439 --> 00:00:40,079 the sport for such a long time, really the face of this sport, 11 00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:43,880 at least in North America anyway. You've had so much success, made so 12 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,000 much money, at so much glory, have had so many big fights. 13 00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:50,240 I often wonder to myself, when you get to that position, what is 14 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,759 it that still motivates you to still do this. I know you love the 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,920 sport, but is it is it the chance to become a champion and other 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,200 divisions win more titles, make more money. What is it that motivates canal 17 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:06,359 overs these days? Yeah? First of all, I love boxing, you 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:14,280 know, And second I love being involving these kind of fights, big fights. 19 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,560 You know. You know this. This is not a secret. Jemel 20 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,000 and Jal they calling me out for a long time. No, and they 21 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,799 don't believe in my skills. They don't believing in my boxing skills, and 22 00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:34,280 that motivate, That motivate because I'm in in in a couple of weeks, 23 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:41,840 I'm gonna show them my skills and I'm gonna show them why I'm here in 24 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,959 that top, so that that kind of means motivate. Well, you mentioned 25 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,040 Jamal who you're fighting. You mentioned Jamal his brother who you were originally supposed 26 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,359 to fight, and then it became Jamal. I wonder, like, do 27 00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:57,000 you even know the difference between the two of them and they're twins, it's 28 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,519 not like your buddies with them, Like, do they have differences in their 29 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,840 boxing in your opinion? I only realize that I don't. I don't see 30 00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:09,400 any difference. They both are the same. So so did they say, 31 00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:14,599 hey, is not ready? Is ready? So I don't care. I 32 00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:15,919 don't I don't really, I don't. I say, okay, it's fine. 33 00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:19,120 So either way, Jamal, Jamal, for you, it's all the 34 00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:23,280 same, yeah, all the same. Fair enough. Now you go into 35 00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:28,479 this fight, you had uh, the big victory against the homecoming win against 36 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,599 Ryder. Before that, you had a very clear decision over a triple G 37 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,360 in your third fight with him. Can you describe to me the satisfaction level 38 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,759 of getting finally a very clear cut, no doubt about it win over your 39 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,560 rival Golovkin and then being able to go home something you'd want to do for 40 00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:46,479 a long time and defend your titles in front of that gigantic crowd in your 41 00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:53,520 hometown. Oh, you know, it's feels something amazing. You you win 42 00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:58,919 the three fight with billoging with Dianuy in your can that's that I maybe feel 43 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:04,840 so so good. And then go to Wall and fight in front of everybody 44 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,960 who support me from the beginning and have that kind of fight is just it's 45 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,120 just amazing. It's just makes me feel rolled about what I did. There 46 00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:19,680 are some people that say, you know, well, I mean, like 47 00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:23,120 you got those two wins we just mentioned, But you know some people, 48 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,599 I'm not one of them. But there I read what people say. I 49 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,400 hear what people say. You know, well, he lost to Dmitian be 50 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,599 Ball. You granted you're moving up. And wait, maybe you looked a 51 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,879 little bit flat in the third fight with glove Ken. You didn't get the 52 00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:38,319 knockout against John Ryder even though you beat him up. Maybe Canello Alverts is 53 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,879 slowing down a little bit. How do you respond to the people that say, 54 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:46,280 maybe Canello Alverts is maybe past his best days? You know, sometimes 55 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,360 you have a card days in that in boxing, most when you have a 56 00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:55,840 injury, you don't feel confidence hundred percent because the injury. But are you 57 00:03:55,879 --> 00:04:03,199 know? And I feel great, I feel in my big and and and 58 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:12,240 I think this fight is gonna be different. I'm gonna show them the Canello 59 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,600 you always saw. Does that mean a knockout against you? Hermil Charlo? 60 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:24,360 I would love to knockout him. And and I'm gonna try, Believe me, 61 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,000 I'm gonna try. I'm gonna bring my best that day. Now. 62 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,839 I know you have this fight coming up. But there's been so much chatter 63 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:38,319 since the victory that Terrence Crawford had about the possibility of maybe Terrence Crawford challenging 64 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,000 you at some point next year. I mean, you have this fight coming 65 00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:43,879 up, He's gonna probably have to do his rematch with Spence. Is that 66 00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:46,720 something that would be in your mind, something that would also motivate you. 67 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:54,560 It's crazy. It's crazy then because you know that guys say, oh, 68 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,120 your mail is gonna jump two POY classes and this and this and and and 69 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,639 and and say about things about the fight. Then start putting me with Dennis 70 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:10,839 Staff. You know, pieces more than it's crazy, But you know he's 71 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,439 booksy. I'm I'm, I mean no matter who he is there, I 72 00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:23,079 mean, I just I just wanna bring the best fights for the fight. 73 00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:26,680 The conversation will continue in a moment.

We never know, We never know. 90 00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:42,279 Maybe Okay, Now, a while back there was talk from Eddie Renoso that 91 00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:45,639 maybe Canello would like to try to win a cruiserweight title. Is that something 92 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,759 that's still in your mind? I don't know, you need to ask. 93 00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:57,160 Eddie always brings and and I'm always in Are you at all? Uh? 94 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,360 Most, I mean, I don't know. You're how much you think about 95 00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:02,759 boxing history? And one of the big things about this fight is of course, 96 00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:06,399 you're the undisputed champion in the super middleweight division. He is the undisputed 97 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,600 champion in the junior middleweight division. And never before in boxing has there been, 98 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,639 certainly in the four belt era, where one undisputed champ from the one 99 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,000 way class fights another undisputed champ from the next way referred to two weight class 100 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:24,040 in this particular case, does that sort of add to your like just how 101 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,800 cool it is to be involved in these types of big events that it's it 102 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:32,680 is historical from that perspective, it's history is history here. And and like 103 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:40,040 I say, does motivate me? And and but that thing motivate me more 104 00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:45,480 is that he's he he don't believing me kills from a long time ago, 105 00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:50,800 and and I'm want to fucking show him my really skills, all right. 106 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,560 I just wanted them to wrap up with this. You mentioned history. I 107 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,959 always wonder what is like the dream fight that you would have in history, 108 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,160 not necessarily against a car guy like we're talking about Charlo or Crawford, but 109 00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:05,279 if there was a fighter that you could have thought back and make a fantasy 110 00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:07,600 fight, you know, would it be uh, you know, some other 111 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,480 great fighter from Mexico Chavez or somebody or from your current weight class, Like, 112 00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:16,040 who would it be if you could pick anybody to tangle with. I 113 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:24,800 don't know Leona l obviably well, loss have Chavis. Yeah, those are 114 00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:28,680 great, Those are greats. I would love to see in Finello.

Can't thank you enough for doing 117 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,399 this. Thank you so much and appreciate it. Thank do that s up 118 00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:41,720 Grave, Thank you sir. Take care.
