It’s been nearly ten entire years since they fought. But Floyd Mayweather, who handily bested Canelo Alvarez when the 2 males met in a 2013 mega combat, has taken the day trip to defend his former foe towards a press release made by rising star Ryan Garcia. Garcia, who has labored with Canelo, publicly acknowledged he thinks Canelo will lose to Gennady Golovkin once they meet within the fall. “You see,” Mayweather says in a FightHype video “Ryan Garcia, first he’s praising Canelo. Proper? He wanna be taught from Canelo. You’re in Canelo’s coaching camp. Now it’s all hate. Oh I don’t like him. I don’t like this. I don’t like him.”

Mayweather then goes and takes issues a step additional. “Accomplish what Canelo has achieved,” he says, “then communicate unhealthy about him. You understand what I imply? However you don’t want to talk unhealthy about him anyway as a result of all of us want to remain in our personal lane and do us. So you actually shouldn’t communicate unhealthy about him should you went to his camp to be taught from him and to be his scholar. One factor about Canelo, he’s gonna step as much as the plate and do what he gotta do. He’s gonna combat.”

Mayweather goes on to argue that he’s prepared to present his previous competitors its due. “I can’t knock the motherfucker as a result of he’s happening within the Corridor of Fame,” he says of Canelo. “In order that’s one other man, you already know? Pacquiao goes down within the Corridor of the Fame. These are the fellows that I went up towards. I’ll all the time give guys their flowers. I’m not a hater, man.”

As for rumors that he isn’t an excellent sport, Mayweather addresses that matter as nicely. “They need to maintain telling you ‘Oh Floyd is jealous, he’s this, he’s that,’” the previous pound for pound nice claims. “I’m not jealous. If I used to be jealous of fighters I wouldn’t push them to be nice. Bear in mind this. When you could have seen beef on social media, I’ve all the time been the response, not the motion. At all times. I’ve all the time uplifted my individuals and I’ll all the time uplift my individuals.”
