It's my honor to be joined today on the podcast by none other than the
undisputed super middleweight champ of the world, future Hall of Famer, one of
the greats to ever do it, Canelo Alvarez. Canello, You've got this
big, big fight coming up September thirtieth, Team Mobile Ring to show a
time pay per view. You're defending the undisputed super middleweight title against Jamila Charlo.
Thank you for doing this. Have you been I'm great, feel great,
and I'm just waiting for septemid Daddy like all of us are you know?
And you say you're waiting for September thirtieth, And it makes me always
think when fighters get in the position such as yourself, at the top of
the sport for such a long time, really the face of this sport,
at least in North America anyway. You've had so much success, made so
much money, at so much glory, have had so many big fights.
I often wonder to myself, when you get to that position, what is
it that still motivates you to still do this. I know you love the
sport, but is it is it the chance to become a champion and other
divisions win more titles, make more money. What is it that motivates canal
overs these days? Yeah? First of all, I love boxing, you
know, And second I love being involving these kind of fights, big fights.
You know. You know this. This is not a secret. Jemel
and Jal they calling me out for a long time. No, and they
don't believe in my skills. They don't believing in my boxing skills, and
that motivate, That motivate because I'm in in in a couple of weeks,
I'm gonna show them my skills and I'm gonna show them why I'm here in
that top, so that that kind of means motivate. Well, you mentioned
Jamal who you're fighting. You mentioned Jamal his brother who you were originally supposed
to fight, and then it became Jamal. I wonder, like, do
you even know the difference between the two of them and they're twins, it's
not like your buddies with them, Like, do they have differences in their
boxing in your opinion? I only realize that I don't. I don't see
any difference. They both are the same. So so did they say,
hey, is not ready? Is ready? So I don't care. I
don't I don't really, I don't. I say, okay, it's fine.
So either way, Jamal, Jamal, for you, it's all the
same, yeah, all the same. Fair enough. Now you go into
this fight, you had uh, the big victory against the homecoming win against
Ryder. Before that, you had a very clear decision over a triple G
in your third fight with him. Can you describe to me the satisfaction level
of getting finally a very clear cut, no doubt about it win over your
rival Golovkin and then being able to go home something you'd want to do for
a long time and defend your titles in front of that gigantic crowd in your
hometown. Oh, you know, it's feels something amazing. You you win
the three fight with billoging with Dianuy in your can that's that I maybe feel
so so good. And then go to Wall and fight in front of everybody
who support me from the beginning and have that kind of fight is just it's
just amazing. It's just makes me feel rolled about what I did. There
are some people that say, you know, well, I mean, like
you got those two wins we just mentioned, But you know some people,
I'm not one of them. But there I read what people say. I
hear what people say. You know, well, he lost to Dmitian be
Ball. You granted you're moving up. And wait, maybe you looked a
little bit flat in the third fight with glove Ken. You didn't get the
knockout against John Ryder even though you beat him up. Maybe Canello Alverts is
slowing down a little bit. How do you respond to the people that say,
maybe Canello Alverts is maybe past his best days? You know, sometimes
you have a card days in that in boxing, most when you have a
injury, you don't feel confidence hundred percent because the injury. But are you
know? And I feel great, I feel in my big and and and
I think this fight is gonna be different. I'm gonna show them the Canello
you always saw. Does that mean a knockout against you? Hermil Charlo?
I would love to knockout him. And and I'm gonna try, Believe me,
I'm gonna try. I'm gonna bring my best that day. Now.
I know you have this fight coming up. But there's been so much chatter
since the victory that Terrence Crawford had about the possibility of maybe Terrence Crawford challenging
you at some point next year. I mean, you have this fight coming
up, He's gonna probably have to do his rematch with Spence. Is that
something that would be in your mind, something that would also motivate you.
It's crazy. It's crazy then because you know that guys say, oh,
your mail is gonna jump two POY classes and this and this and and and
and and say about things about the fight. Then start putting me with Dennis
Staff. You know, pieces more than it's crazy, But you know he's
booksy. I'm I'm, I mean no matter who he is there, I
mean, I just I just wanna bring the best fights for the fight.
The conversation will continue in a moment. First, a few words about our

Maybe Okay, Now, a while back there was talk from Eddie Renoso that
maybe Canello would like to try to win a cruiserweight title. Is that something
that's still in your mind? I don't know, you need to ask.
Eddie always brings and and I'm always in Are you at all? Uh?
Most, I mean, I don't know. You're how much you think about
boxing history? And one of the big things about this fight is of course,
you're the undisputed champion in the super middleweight division. He is the undisputed
champion in the junior middleweight division. And never before in boxing has there been,
certainly in the four belt era, where one undisputed champ from the one
way class fights another undisputed champ from the next way referred to two weight class
in this particular case, does that sort of add to your like just how
cool it is to be involved in these types of big events that it's it
is historical from that perspective, it's history is history here. And and like
I say, does motivate me? And and but that thing motivate me more
is that he's he he don't believing me kills from a long time ago,
and and I'm want to fucking show him my really skills, all right.
I just wanted them to wrap up with this. You mentioned history. I
always wonder what is like the dream fight that you would have in history,
not necessarily against a car guy like we're talking about Charlo or Crawford, but
if there was a fighter that you could have thought back and make a fantasy
fight, you know, would it be uh, you know, some other
great fighter from Mexico Chavez or somebody or from your current weight class, Like,
who would it be if you could pick anybody to tangle with. I
don't know Leona l obviably well, loss have Chavis. Yeah, those are
great, Those are greats. I would love to see in Finello. But
I'm also gonna love seeing you in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks,
getting ready for the big fight with Charlotte. Can't thank you enough for doing
this. Thank you so much and appreciate it. Thank do that s up
Grave, Thank you sir. Take care. We'll see in Vegas.
