Mexican fight fans might be taken back by the comments of their newest star, young Saul ?Canelo? Alvarez.
The pantheon of Mexican boxing legends, which is populated by such men as Erik Morales, Salvador Sanchez, Marco Antonio Barrera, and Julio Cesar Chavez. These men were capable boxers, in varying degrees of skill, but most were best known for their aggression and warrior hearts.
Like it or not, except it or not , Alvarez has a different ring role model, and not a very popular one with any boxing demographic group at this moment due to his Saturday night antics ? the one and only Floyd ?Money? Mayweather.
?Since I was a kid I have tried to imitate Mayweather?s style,? said Alvarez. ?Since I was fighting as an amateur, I tried to fight like that. In some fights you can practice that style and in others you cannot.?
