    I haven't seen anyone suggest this for Vasyl yet.

    Should he?
    I think it's always great for marketability. He does know some English. I think he just needs to work on it so he can give better interviews. I think it's helped GGG and Kovalev.

        And the guy in your avi would be helped a lot by learning it as well. The biggest stars of this century both spoke English well. Mayweather, Pacquiao, Wlad all spoke it well.

          You're right. I don't know why they get so shy/nervous. Golovkin's english also gets too bad after fights.

            Can't compare to Canelo though for those that are, spanish is a huge language in America and there are a TON of spanish speaking fans. That's a big exception to the rule.

              Good point about the nervousness. I know Golovkin trains in America, does Loma? I think that would be a great opportunity to sharpen their English. Maybe their managers aren't impressing upon them how much it can help their careers.

              I think part of Wlad's crossover appeal (despite that he can be boring at times) is that he can speak English in the build-ups and sell the fight to the fans.

              Kovalev's English is right at that point where he can express himself and sound like a total badass.

                Lomaputa doesn't have to learn English because he's white.

                If a Mexican speaks Spanish or broken English the NASCAR fans scream "Learn English you f**kin' wetb**k! This is America!"

                When Little G and Lomaputa speak their languages or broken English the NASCAR fans love it. They say they speak 10 languages fluently and they love their broken English accents.

                  Nope. This is wrong. I think AMERICAN citizens should Learn English. I dont expect Mexican, Russian, (or whatever) citizens to Speak English. If they do, great. if not, they don't. I wouldnt expect a Mexican or Russian to Speak English any more than I would expect an American to Speak Russian or Spanish. And NASCAR fans have almost zero crossover with Boxing. For example, I Love Boxing. Can't stand NASCAR. Every single damn thing doesnt have to be about race.

                    "I know this fight..."
                    "Yes this fight very interesting..."
                    "This is good question..."
                    "I dunno..."
                    "My focus is..."
                    "This is boxing.."
                    "I love this sport..."
                    "To Canelo..."
                    "Of course this is dream fight for me..."
                    "Jusss..."
                    "I dunno...jusss"
                    "I think this is great fight..."
                    "He is big challenge for me.."
                    "You know... jusss trash talk.."
                    I read every one of these in my head in his voice lol these are spot on
