    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 new s****om a.

    I'm starting to think Canelo is mentally slow. He has that derp face too.

    It would open more opportunities for becoming a bigger star, but learning a second language as an adult can be difficult. English isn't exactly the easiest either. Not making excuses for the guy, he has the luxury of ample free time that most don't have, it's just not a super easy endeavor to take on.

    Judging a book by its cover? I think you might be mentally slow.

    Take a listen to any of his interviews, Canelo comes off more articulate than the average boxer.:deal

    That is true.
    He's very thorough and informative in his interviews.

    He does know English, he just chooses not to speak it. You can watch most of his interviews and the always ask in English and he immediately responds, but he responds in Spanish. I think he just wants to stay true to his roots.

    This would help the Cubans too. Obviously they are Black but Afro Latinos ate an ultra small minority. With Latinos being the most racist idiots in the planet it would help Lara, Gamboa, Rigondeaux to learn English to appeal to different communities, but nope.

    And what's your excuse for being so stupid? You got dropped on your head a couple of times during infancy?

    Unbelievable that you can even make navigate through the internet to get to this site.

    Dude, Latinos think they are white until white people come around. Very racist Cubans in FL ask CST80. I'll be wtness to these racist Mexicans in California, Arizona and Texas. Those 2 groups think they are Argentinean or something. Fresh from Europe.

    Canelo knows what demographic to appeal to.

    Hispanic will be the dominant ethnicity in the US a few years down the line. Thanks to the Democrats.

    A) that vid was from 2011

    B) he didn't sound too bad.

    I'm sure he's vastly improved since then.
