Some notable quotes from the series:
Canelo on the Mayweather fight:
“It was simply due to experience. If I compare that Canelo with today’s Canelo, they are completely different. It would be a completely different fight now. I’ve always said that maybe if I had won that night, everything would have worked out for me. Fame, money, and maybe it wouldn’t have worked out right then. Maybe I could have gone crazy. It wasn’t my time. That’s how I take it, it wasn’t my time. It took me a few days to accept it.”
Canelo on the GGG rematch:
“I’m not a person who cries a lot but there are times when you don’t take it all in. The truth is that those feelings are unique. Having my family there, my wife, my children, my mom, my dad, my brothers, my friends, my whole team. For me it is very important; it means a lot. Why? Because, in the end, family is the most important thing for us.”
Canelo on Kovalev:
“Being world champion in another division, imagine! A boxer as small as me –
a Mexican, winning a light heavyweight world championship when nobody thought he would win a world championship in the 154 division because he was so small. Imagine what that means to me.”
