I used to like Canelo, but since he is basically just fight bums and they handed him a title for it, as a fan of boxing, I feel cheated. With a title, you should be a top level fighter and fighting other top level fighters, which Canelo isn't. A totally shot Shane Mosley is probably going to be the toughest fighter he has faced so far and the key words here are "totally shot". If he would be defending his title against the top level fighters in his weight class, I would have more respect for him.

Pacquiao actually has defeated a LINEAL champion at the age of 19.

Kazuto Ioka and Adrien Broner>>>>Canelo.
To be fair though, not sure if they're 21. I just know that they're young and around that age.
Chavez Jr is older. But, I don't care. Chavez jr>>>>>Canelo.

Yourself this who was floyd fighting at 21? Who was PAC fighting at 21? Name one 21 year old fighter who wad elite at that age? There arent manny. I'm not too fond of the kid but I'm smart enough to see that he has the tools to be a big fish in a small pond and I know it's something that takes time. HR has slowly stepped up in competition.Last edited by MurkaMan; 03-31-2012, 02:42 PM.

In fact, Pac is already 2 division champ at the age of 21.

Originally posted by titan.cronus View PostI not sure why people hate Canelo but I can tell you why i dislike him at this point, Yes he won a slice of the title, but is the hype that surrounds him, let the kid show us against a top level opponent what he can do. Same type of hype happened with jorge linares and victor ortiz.
