"He was very flashy" - When former ring girl detailed stark contrast between Canelo Alvarez and Floyd Mayweather's public personas

Former ring girl Kyra Keli once shared her experiences interacting with boxing superstars Canelo Alvarez and Floyd Mayweather, revealing a fascinating contrast in their personalities.

In a 2020 interview with EsNews, Keli described Canelo, the Mexican boxing champion, as always surrounded by his family during fights. She complimented his demeanor, calling him "cute" and the "ultimate Golden Boy" of boxing.

“He (Canelo) is so cute, doesn’t speak any English at all. And he’s whole family is always with him. They’re really nice. His wife is really nice. Whatever girl was with him, (she) spoke English and she was very sweet, always nice to the (ring) girls. As far as Golden Boy is concerned, I feel like he definitely is the ultimate Golden Boy.”

In contrast, Keli's first encounter with Mayweather left a very different impression. She admitted to not knowing who he was at the time, but his flamboyant and arrogant personality made a lasting impact.

“He was like very flashy and kind of arrogant and just putting on his whole Mayweather show and I remember being like ‘who the f**k is this guy?’ without really knowing anything about him.” [H/t:IBTimes]
