I think he's a special fighter, I'm a big Canelo fan, but I think he's a special fighter at middleweight and I think a lot of his advantages he has at that level, he'll lose when he steps up to super middleweight.
Canelo is a counterpuncher, a boxer, and that's what I am.
Canelo's going to have his moments. I'm not saying he's not. But I'm going to have my moments. It will come down to who can finish off their moments and finish the fight the best.
It's always great to know successful people like Canelo, especially those that make our country proud.
There's a lot of good fighters at 168 with or without Canelo, so I want to test myself against them.
I get motivated by the fact people are following me, that they want a photo or say 'vamos' or 'Canelo.'
Canelo is an elite fighter, and I never shied away from a challenge.
From my point of view, I am the underdog going into this fight. I'm not saying I'm not. But I'm the underdog because I haven't fought at that level yet against anyone of Canelo's level.
Canelo has experience and is a superstar. He's showed me a lot as a mentor. It's the biggest blessing that I can have.
I'm not going to say I'm not ready for a fighter like Canelo Alvarez.
