‘Money’ Mayweather was not happy with the way the reporters were praising Canelo. “They don’t wanna see Tank win coz they feel like it’s beating me. Because, I dominated the fight game for so long, but these same writers out here, they praise Canelo.”

“He can pick and choose who he wanna fight. Imma tell ya’ll the truth about Canelo. Mo**** easy man, he cakewalk, easy. Ya’ll sitting up here, ya’ll praising this dude. This dude was nothing. I was almost 40 years old when I cooked this dude. Easy,” Mayweather said, as the crowd of reporters laughed.

Canelo is yet to respond to Mayweather’s remarks.

Canelo is currently training, packing on the pounds to take on Ilunga Makabu for the WBC Cruiserweight title. He will look to become the first Mexican to hold titles in five divisions. If he succeeds, he will join the list of boxing elites like Mayweather and Pacquiao, who have themselves held belts in five or more divisions.
