So is Canelo 21?

Mayweather41014y ago

I saw the thread a few days ago with chavez jr. saying canelo was lying about his age but can not find it was there anything to that or Chavez just being a pus

Comments (20)

canelo is not 21 - chavez jr. the cartels said so...

14y ago

Maybe it took them a few years to get a proper birth certificate since he was obviously switch at birth with an Irish family. And just they couldn't get the certificate backdated. :)

14y ago

I believe he's 21. I'm nearly 25 and he looks older than me but like people said everyone ages differently. Honestly what does it matter? I'm more concerned with what age he performs at. I'd be more concerned about a 40 year old claiming to be 35 than someone claiming to be 21 and being 30.

14y ago

Some people age differently, Lebron James sure didn't have the body of your average 18 year old when he entered the NBA. All we can do is accept what his legal documentation says, until there is proof it's just rumors and speculation.

14y ago

I guess so. There's really no proof that says otherwise.

14y ago

I saw the thread a few days ago with chavez jr. saying canelo was lying about his age but can not find it was there anything to that or Chavez just being a pus what difference does it make...??? are they fighting with in ages now...?? don't get it.

14y ago

He certainly doesn't look like your average 21 year old

14y ago

14y ago

It says on his passport that hes 21. But dude has a body of a 26 year old but the face of a 18 year old.haha http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/555362_402286586449259_216103348400918_1564464_353396997_n.jpg He looks mid 30's here
