Watching Canelo, Golovkin, Kovalev and etc... interviews I'm always wondering why some of these boxers can't/won't learn English properly... It would be only logical for fighters who fight in the USA, but these guys just refuse to learn it... :what:

How come that I can learn it in my country (well I was in the USA one time but whatever...), with some mistakes here and there but I can learn it but these guys who fight in the US regularly for years now, can't learn it?

if someone like ricardo mayorga learned english, dude would have a superstar....another thing is some fighters do actually know english pretty good..just dont like speaking it like that..or they play the role....it blew my mind when I hear JMM and Barrera speak English pretty good but then after their fights they got the interpreters and the whole nine

I would think that's rather a bad decision

or idk.. They think they appeal to Mexican fans with appearing like they wouldn't know English?

He never learned it fluently though... I never understood why...

What 4 languages?

On paper I also know 3, in reality rather 2 and one of them is my mother tongue...
