Where are the Canelo haters at?

[Roy Jones Jnr]

Was just thinking about this recently, rememeber just a couple of years ago Canelo was the most hated boxer on here, where have they gone?

I remember about 90% of the posters on this forum would criticise a then 21/22 year old Canelo for not having fought anyone and apparently being protected on a regular basis, all sorts of insults and jealous hatred towards a kid on the rise.

A couple years since he's shut them all up by taking fights which apparently he would never take ie Trout(too risky might lose and ruin a potential Floyd fight) and Lara (too Cuban everyones ducking him).

Have they a) become his fans or b) gone into hiding? or c) now swinging on his ATG snake due to them doing a complete 180 and changing their mind like the fickle twats they are?

Vote now!

They are still here and Canelo will get even more haters as the years go by believe me...he definatly earned my respect in facing Lara & Trout, but still he is avoiding the 160 divison like death even though he cant make 154 no more and that tells you alot about "fighting everybody". Another thing is that he is just average but he gets treated like hes the next Chavez or Marquez and at last the biggest reason why haters will multiply is his attitude. Yeah he seems like a nice guy and all but he already is Cotto mixed with Mayweather regarding attitude. The difference between them is that they earned the reputation and being the a-side the hard way, Canelo became champion beating bums that were 20 pounds less than him and jumping weightclasses or 50 year olds. Got a Mayweather fight not because of quality (as we all could see in the fight) but cause of his popularity. We all could see what type of guy he is in the Cotto negoations telling the A-side he wants this sponsor, this weight, this location, this date, this everything and that really speaks volumes about his character which will become a HUGE problem in future. Nobody likes a spoiled child and guys like Khan, Mayweather or Broner got this many haters not cause the things they do inside of the ring but do and say outside the ring.

Canelo has proven he has cojones if nothing else...maybe a little skill too

[stovepipe]

he takes fights but he doesn't clearly win them.

he takes fights but he doesn't clearly win them.

But at least he takes the fights. That's more than you can say for a lot of other guys.

He gets gifts and you really think that will deter the haters? When you have to dismantle a guy like Mayweather did (and even he got Rossed) to get a decision the scales have been tipped too far. People are not stupid and they catch up to that eventually.

The credit he should get is for getting in the rings with guys he knows he's probably going to loose to even as protected as he knows he is he has to know if he looks too bad he wont get saved.

This.


I would like Canelo more if he got a resonable decision. But. Canelo loses like 7 rounds and ends up with a ridiculous score


Are you kidding?

[Beercules]

OH! And fighting at MW isn't helping his cause either.

Solid fighter but far from elite. He is one of the top boxers in his division but he doesn't dominate foes that are in his level.
