Probably the only sports star left today that I would like my kids to idolize. Such a humble guy.

[trkddy]

This is the best English Canelo interview I've ever seen. It's almost unbelievable how good this is.

[MOTA]

This video just proves PEOPLE dnt like to see PEOPLE do good. Canelo leads by example it all starts with the parents.

Overall he seems like a genuine person! I like Canelo

[ryanholmes]

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.

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

Un orgullo para México, un hombre de trabajo y esfuerzo. Saludos desde Guadalajara.

Canelo es todo un ejemplo de un súper estrella respetuosa que valora las cosas que en realidad son importantes . Que mas quieren .

[cxluisz]

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.

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.

[tessthomas]

I admire this young man and the values his father raised him with. He is deserving of the life he now lives.

[orlandor]

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.

[silcmas]

Such a humble man. Not afraid to open up about his life

[elpiquetes]

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....
