Canelo Alvarez is all set to etch his legacy with the upcoming Jermell Charlo bout, which has filled fans with riveting anticipation. The fight is set to take place at 8 p.m. Local Time at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. However, amidst the nerve-wracking wait for the bout, a resurfaced clip has stirred the interest of the internet. In the clip, we see Canelo Alvarez training none other than Manny Pacquiao’s son, Jimuel Pacquiao.

In the video, we can see Canelo training ‘PacMan’s’ son at a famous fight club. Pacquiao’s son has previously fought in a few amateur matches. Furthermore, Canelo as well as his trainer Eddy Reynoso can be seen coaching young Jimuel in the clip. At the moment, Jimuel is charting his own course in boxing despite Manny’s advice to stay amateur. Since being shared, the clip has generated a lot of anticipation from fans who are eager to see how young Jimuel’s career pans out. Will he follow his father’s legacy or create his own?

Why do fans have a mixed reaction to Canelo training PacMan’s son?

Manny Pacquiao had advised his son not to box professionally. He finds it hard to watch Jimuel fight due to the sport’s brutality. Despite this, Jimuel shows a strong passion for boxing. As of now, he is training with Reynoso and Alvarez. However, fans have their distinct reactions related to Alvarez’s involvement in training Pacquiao’s son. Initially, one fan found it weird to see “a Pacquiao”, who isn’t a southpaw, suggesting a sense of surprise at seeing a fighting style that is distinct from his father’s.

On the other hand, another fan expressed pure joy, indicating a positive reaction to Canelo’s training.

Additionally, a third fan acknowledged a good tip, perhaps referring to a strategic move or advice.

However, skepticism also exists, as another fan humorously doubted that he would become a world champion.

Finally, one fan warned, “He gon be a problem,” hinting at the fighter’s potential to disrupt the status quo once he goes pro.
