It’s been almost ten years since they fought. However, Floyd Mayweather, who beat Canelo Alvarez when the two met in a big fight in 2013, took time to defend his old nemesis against rising star Ryan Garcia’s claims. Garcia, who has worked with Canelo, has stated publicly that he thinks Canelo will lose to Gennady Golovkin when they meet in the fall. “You see,” Mayweather said in one FightHype video “Ryan Garcia, first he is praising Canelo. Right? He wants to learn from Canelo. You are at Canelo’s training camp. Now it’s all hate. Oh, I don’t like him. I do not like this. I do not like him “.
Mayweather then goes and takes an important step further. “Finish what Canelo has achieved,” he said, “then talk bad about him. Do you understand what I mean? But you don’t have to say bad things about him anyway because we all need to stay in our own way and do the same as we do. So you really shouldn’t badmouth him if you come to his camp to learn from him and become his student. One thing about Canelo, he’s going to step on the plate and do what he has to do. He will fight. “
Mayweather went on to argue that he’s ready for his old competition to come due. “I can’t beat the bastard because he’s going down the Hall of Fame,” he said of Canelo. “So it was another guy, you know? Pacquiao is walking down the Hall of Fame. These are the guys I’ve been up against. I will always give flowers to their boys. I’m not a hater, man. “
As for the rumors that he is not a good sport, Mayweather addresses that as well. “They want to keep telling you, ‘Oh Floyd is jealous, he’s this, he’s that,’ ‘the ex-pounder declared brilliantly. “I am not jealous. If I envy those who fight, I won’t push them to be great. Remember this. When you see beef on social media, I always react, not act. Always. I have always lifted the spirits of my people, and I will always raise the spirits of my people.”
