Canelo Alvarez hints at retirement… but he’s doing it Tom Brady style

SPORTIVO
Article arrow_drop_down

Tom Brady once said, “If you love doing it, you’re gonna work hard at it… and eventually, there’s going to be success.” It’s the kind of mindset you expect from a seven-timeSuper Bowl champ-but it turns out, it also hits home for Canelo Alvarez.

Now 34, Canelo has spent more than 20 years in the ring, building a résumé that would satisfy most fighters ten times over. Yet, when The Ring’s Mike Coppinger asked the question everyone’s thinking-“Why not just retire?”-Canelo’s answer wasn’t about gold belts or big checks.

“I could retire right now. I don’t need anything,he said. “But I still enjoy everything.”

That’s the key word-enjoy. He’s not chasing validation, and certainly not a payout. “If you think about money, it’s never enough,” he added. “You need to be true with yourself.”

Still fighting like it’s day one

Canelo isn’t hanging around for attention. He still thrives in the gym. He still shows up to spar. And he’s still chasing something real-joy, growth, mastery. That’s what makes his upcoming May 3rd bout against the undefeated William Scull more than just another title defense.

The fight kicks off a new four-bout deal under the watchful eye of Turki Alalshikh, who’s quickly becoming one of the most influential power players in global boxing. Translation? Canelo isn’t going anywhere-at least not yet.

Meanwhile, speculation over who’s next is heating up again. Some fans are still hoping for a Terence Crawford superfight, but Chris Eubank Sr. recently poured cold water on that idea, citing weight class issues during an interview with TalkSPORT.

Instead, Eubank Sr. floated another idea: Canelo vs. Chris Eubank Jr. And honestly, it makes sense. No massive weight cuts, no wild division jumps-just two high-level fighters at the right time in their careers. Sky Sports reports that Eubank Jr. is game, especially if he beats Conor Benn later this year.

So, no, Canelo Alvarez isn’t done. He might even be entering his most intentional phase yet-less about proving something, more about loving the process. If that sounds familiar, it should. It’s the Brady blueprint. And just like TB12, Canelo isn’t ready to call it a career-not while he’s still having fun.

Diego Souza em comentário no programa "Boleiragem" (Reprodução - YouTube) Diego Souza não escondeu sua revolta com John Textor e toda sua diretoria do Botafogo na formação do elenco para 2025. Em sua avaliação, houve uma demora acentuada na busca por um técnico e na reposição de atletas importantes que deixaram o clube, como Thiago Almada e Luiz Henrique. Em campo, o Glorioso acumula resultados negativos e tem deixado o torcedor cada vez mais irritado com atletas e também com o treinador Renato Paiva. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O que a diretoria fez de errado é impressionante. Merece um prêmio por tanta decisão errada, esse John Textor. Começaram o ano sem treinador, sem duas peças importantes e desdenhando de competições. Pura vaidade, achando que estava tudo dentro dos conformes”, disse Diego Souza.

Luka Doncic’s Stomach Illness a Major Concern for Lakers Before Game 4

All eyes are on Luka Doncic’s stomach heading into Game 4No, this is not a reference to the Dallas Mavericks’ efforts to label Doncic as pudgy after they inexplicably traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers earlier this season. It’s about Doncic’s health. The Lakers revealed that Doncic battled a stomach bug in Game 3, which helped explain his poor performance in the Lakers’ 116-104 loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night. Doncic missed 10 of 16 shots and committed a handful of turnovers, and the Timberwolves took a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-seven Western Conference quarterfinals series. Now the star-powered Lakers face the possibility of falling behind 3-1 in the series on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis. That would put all of the pressure on the shoulders of Doncic, LeBron James and the rest of the Lakers as they […]

Giants draft RB Cam Skattebo: How he fits, pick grade and scouting intel

The New York Giants selected Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo with the third pick of the fourth round, No. 105 overall, in the 2025 NFL Draft on Saturday afternoon.Skattebo was the fourth pick of the 2025 draft for the Giants, who have now split their picks between offense and defense.
