It is true all those guys have a lot to prove in the sport, Canelo gets criticized because he is more well known and is a youngster who hasn't paid his dues.
Both Golovkin and Rigondeaux do get a bit of a pass but most of it comes down to the fact they do not create strong feelings in people and both are old for up and comers so while they may in fact be better fighters they don't cause the same stir because their shelf life is already limited. Also people feel these two guys want to prove them selves, while they don't get that feeling from Canelo now people are certainly free to feel that way but that is filling in a lot of the picture with your own crayons~
