There are great legends and great fighters in the history of Mexico, and there will be more to come.
I'm training and preparing because nothing is predictable in boxing. I'm preparing for those rounds, and if it happens that I get a shot, whatever advantage I have, I will be ready for 12 rounds.
Athletes can definitely have an impact on society. And it's great that athletes can be a part of uniting the population.
If I lift any weights, I do it more for explosion, but I really use my body weight to build up muscle and strength.
I'm focused on being the best, making history.
You can have the best training, but just feeling full can make you sluggish and cause you to lose.
I don't fear anyone. We don't come to play in this sport.
I just love what I do. I'm not worried about any burnout.
The more desperate you are, the more mistakes you make.
My record speaks for itself.
You always try to fight someone from another country. But having said that, the public knows, everybody knows, when there's two Mexicans in the ring, there will be a war.
It's a big responsibility and great motiviation to be a Mexican fighter who is admired, and I thank God for the support I get from Mexicans on both sides of the border.
There might well have been an Irish great-great-grandfather of mine back then in the 1800s.
My preference is not to fight a Mexican.
I was made fun of at a young age. I would fight a lot in the streets, and it has a lot to do with the way I am today. It helped my development as a fighter, but what can I say?
I don't know a lot about politics.
Boxing is the most beautiful thing after women.
I look like this for a reason. I was born this way. It was God-given.
I like to stand right in front of my opponent. I think it makes for an exciting fight.
I want to be like a Muhammad Ali, like a Julio Cesar Chavez. So when people talk about boxing, they have to remember Canelo.
