Are you guys fuking serious! The kid is 20 years old and being brought along like anyother contender and the only thing you numbskulls can grab onto is that he got stunned in one fight
He gets stunned for 30 seconds and this is supposed to mean he's overhyped? Hmm lets see why don't you look at just about every major boxers career and tell me if the majority of them hadn't been stunned or knocked down early in their careers. Sergio Martinez (who got knocked the fuk out), and Oscar De la Hoya are two that I can think of off the top of my head.
And all this talk about him fighting Tomato cans! Name me one fuking contender that hasn't fought Tomato Cans on their way to a title. Please name all these fighters that took on championship level fighters the second they turned pro??
Seriously every contender or future champion has had the same career path as Canelo I just don't understand how you dim witts wanna forget that!
Oh I see just because his promoter actually "shock" Promotes the guy!
Hello stupid asses thats what a promoter does! All you mongoloids do is complain about how Boxing is dying blah blah blah and when a fighter actually comes along with some star power and is good for the sport all you guys wanna do is blindly discredit the guy. With that stupid attitude boxing deserves to be a D level sport in this country.
Alvarez is cool, I watched the fight with Cotto at MGM, Yeah he got rocked, are we forgetting he dominated the fight other than that? he showed some character in that fight.
I agree with the TS he's just like the majority of contenders. Maybe if he were 27 and in this position you could say he's a hype job, as of right now we can't say that.
We don't say that about a 20 year old Mike Tyson. Who had he fought of note at the age of 19? And trust me, he had alottttttt more hype the than Alvarez has now.
wake up people Cotto was paid to take the dive, thats why he signed with DLH right after the fight. Why not sign with his brother?

No pistol, you are a biased cunt. I understand that all fighters fight tomato cans to eventually move up, but your ginger cunt girlfriend has fought over 30 bums. What's next? Mexican calling him the tyson of the super welters winning the belt at such a young age? fuk them and you too. Canelo will be nothing in the sport, he will never reach elite status because someone is going to knock that stupid look in his face. He is just a poster boy to the ugly ass mexicans. Look mami el es mejicano pero no se parece a nosotros, como se llama? Dios mijito Dios. ****ing joke
because golden boy and hbo said so? like you said, he's just like any other prospect. no need to annoint him as the next all-time great
And I have done no such thing! He's just a kid full of potential at this point!

Whatever bro, all I know is if he wasn't Mexican u would have a different opinion.
Im not sure what you are talking about becasue i like Cotto a lot which is who he reminds me of which is one of the reasons why i like him.
when larry merchant and now ODLH started peddling the idea that he'd be the one to finally beat pacquiao and dumb mexicans and whoever happens to find his hair color cute actually started believing this, that's hype, i'm sorry. face it, a very large amount of people will only watch this kid because he's been mentioned with pacquiao.
You Mexicans can't one bit of critisism from a Rican cuz ya bring up Boricua fighters on they do. Look I don't expect him to fight the like Pacquiao just yet but if he fights a bum and Mexicans treat him like a legend, doesn't that mean they are making too much of what this kidd is actually doing in reality?????
Popularity means legend status thats new!
That makes those Mexicans and whoever else look stupid. Alvarez is fighting bums and is a superstar while the other guy is fighting contenders and fails short when compared Canelo. Like I said, ya don't care who he fights, he is a good looking athlete, that's very marketable and ya just wanna hype this kidd like he is GOD. Gimme a break.
No it doesn't he's just a charasmatic fighter is all. And he's 20 give it some time and he will be right in the thick of things like I said before! Your boy cotto wasn't anywhere near Canelos level when he was 20 years old. How convinient your boy gets the pass but canelo is the overhyped fighter because he's not fighting world beaters at 20 years old and people like him Boo hoo. I think his popularity just offends you and you have to come up with unreasonable expectations to make yourself feel better.

Idiot....just go and make a thread about Juan Mamon, monchichi look alike fighting Salido...will you...:bottle:
he was almost ko'd by a career lightweight, if he don't ko hatton within 5 rounds he's a hype job.
Being stunned for a whole 30 seconds means he was almost knocked out? Exaggerate much?
I'm not even Mexican and I'm on the Canelo bandwagon.
What's not to like?
Comes to fight? Check
Is entertaining? Check
Has solid fundamental skills? Check
Has great growth potential? Check
Has swagger? Check
Has orange hair? Check
and with all that if he don't destroy a guy like matt hatton, he's a hypejob.
Put it like this.... He wins the Title on sat, he's already a Mexican Legend. Mares wins vs Abeko and he's just another good Mexican Champion. Is that right in your eyes??? It aint in mines. Alvarez is overhyped, its just the truth bro.
Ugh it's not that he's more hyped than mares he's just more popular. You are confusing popularity with people calling him a legend. He is really well like d and? The only won saying he's a legend is you and his promoters and thats what a promoters job is! To promote their fighter!
He hasn't done sh*t yet!!! Come on man even u have to realize that. Dude is like Gid to the Mexicans. His hype has more to do with him being a "good looking athelete" like u said. He's marketable. Oscar is gonna milk this kidd but it doesn't mean he will be the next Chavez. They he is treated, u would think he was already a champion who done knocked off contender after contender.
Again what does his popularity have to do with anything, I didn't say he has beat top level compatition, that still doesn't mean he can't be popular.
I think haters are more concered about his popularity more than who he's actually fought in his career.
Canelo will be the same crap as Berto. Get into a completely unjustified title belt and then go on and continue fighting bums left and right. I'm rooting for Hatton
You don't know that.
And? Boxers can't be popular now without your approval? A good looking Athlete with a lot of charisma is popular in his country and then? What exactly does that have to do with boxing?
Jealousy and envy. :argue:
