Canelo Alvarez made some comments about his fellow Mexican Ryan Garcia. During the buildup to his fight against Caleb Plant, Canelo claimed he felt Garcia was not working hard enough and not spending enough time in the gym.

Although Alvarez did not mean it in a bad way, fans and certain sections of the media may have taken it differently and left room for interpretation. Hence, the undisputed super-middleweight champion cleared the air on his comments.

Via a translator, Canelo said, “I haven’t talked to him no because he’s just recovering from his surgery. But what I said about him, it wasn’t making a bad way, it was meant to be constructive criticism. I want him to take it that way and get the motivation to get on the right track.”

Both Canelo and Garcia currently train under two-time trainer of the year Eddy Reynoso. The pair share the same gym and spar together occasionally. As Canelo knows what it takes to get to where he is, all he was doing was looking out for his teammate.

Canelo knows Garcia has the talent to achieve his dreams in boxing, but without hard work, talent goes to waste. Hence, after his comments, it is clear that the words were motivational.

Canelo Alvarez is more likely to take on Jermall Charlo next 

Following his historic win over Caleb ‘Sweethands’ Plant, Canelo Alvarez wanted to make history again. The pound-for-pound king was eager to move up another weight class to become the first Mexican to hold titles in five divisions.

To achieve this, Canelo challenged the WBC cruiserweight champion Ilunga Makabu. However, as Makabu had to defend his title against his mandatory, plans for the fight took a backseat.
