In the intricate dance of mentorship and camaraderie within boxing’s elite, Ryan Garcia sheds light on the nuanced relationship he shares with Canelo Alvarez. Despite a humorous attempt to connect over golf that went unanswered, Garcia deeply values Canelo’s guidance. “I asked him to play golf. He didn’t hit me back. I don’t know why,” Garcia playfully remarks, later adding a heartfelt, “Te Amo mucho Saul. I miss you. Hit me back.”

Canelo’s advice, steeped in personal experience and caution against certain decisions, resonates with Garcia. “He was a man of very few words. But when he spoke, it made sense,” Garcia reflected, underscoring the profound impact of Canelo’s reserved yet insightful mentorship on his life and career.
