    Why hasn't Canelo learned English yet?

    I know they probably pushed him to try to learn, being that De la Hoya is his promoter and Oscar knows that learning English will propel him to greater opportunities.

    I'm starting to think Canelo might actually have a hidden learning disability?

          I actually thought he was going through his English lessons thing some years ago. Cotto did it and he became a bit of a global boxer. Canelo who is younger should have done it. Especially because most of his opponents are English speaking boxers, which means their countries would like to showcase Canelo.

            He doesn't need too.
            He got a $365 Mill deal without it.

              Not speaking English hasn't harmed his marketability to this point. I don't see how speaking bad English would make him more popular.

                He doesn't have too speak English. He's already the highest paid boxer, the face of boxing, has the highest sports contract, and is the undisputed MW lineal King.

                I would much rather him express himself in his native tongue than to have to listen to him repeat the same learned phrases, like Drama show, good boy, bis show, Mexican style, regardless of the question.

                    Worked for Manny. If he was a silent mute to English media he wouldn't have been as big outside the Philippines.
