El Canelo

Many things have been said about future star, Saul El Canelo Alvarez, perhaps one of his qualities that has been often overlooked is his calm demeanor and his generosity towards the sport, more than once he's proved money isn't everything, he gave up part of his purse to Carlos Baldomir in their bout last year, Carlos came in too heavy and was ordered to give part of his purse to El Canelo as punishment, but Canelo didn't accept it, saying that he didn't need it In his latest interview with Republica Deportiva, he basically said that purses don't matter and that they'll come later in his career, while I do I agree that maybe he hasn't earned the right to demand anything yet, you have to love his humbleness and ease about the subject, in a sport where many fighters including the biggest names, have publicly said that belts, rivalries, grudges don't matter only money, it's nice to see that's not the case with Saul In sports as in pretty much anything else in the world if it doesn't make money it doesn't make sense, it's a sigh of relief to know that such a young fighter who will probably be filthy rich in the near future loves the sweet science and is more focused on being the best and learning how to be just that instead of how much money he can stack up But what do I know? It could all change in the next few years and who knows, maybe we will see him in his Rolls Royce pretending to eat stacks of cash for dinner, maybe we'll see him take part in classless videos about his opponents and maybe he'll even claim he's the best boxer ever, just maybe... but I really really doubt it.
