just like the mayweather fight?? jajajajajajaja
Canela has no stanima and es slow feet.
Cotto lost to Trout.
Canelo beat Lara.
That pretty much gives me a good idea who I think will take this fight.
GGG has a very diverse fanbase because of his boxing style and his willingness to play to the crowd during his ringwalk and interviews. He doesn't act all stuck up and arrogant so he is viewed as an approchable guy enjoying what he does and doesn't need to act tough or talk trash. Basically a guy that knows what he has and doesn't need to make a commotion. And as far as Mexican Style it's done more as an appreciation of the great Mexican boxers that looked to entertain and press for the KO if available which has become more rare nowadays among top established boxers today who look to secure the W.
I think its kind of stereotyping. do all Mexicans fight the same way? Just my opinion, not a big deal.
It was a big enough deal for you to think that someone of Mexican descent should be offended.
Why would one be offended by that? Boxing is all about marketing , it's the same reason Floyd fights strictly on Mexican Holidays and why they play the Mexican National anthem during a big fight even if neither fighter is from that country.
"Mexican style" is simply that, a style of fighting.

I would think any NSB poster of Mexican heritage would be offended at HBO for the way they market GGG and at ESPN/Showtime for the way they allow announcers to say "Mexican style" repeatedly.

Yes I've looked at it, he's fought all over the world he's fighting 3-4 times a year even at this stage of his career.
GGG is doing it the hard way he isn't being gifted like guys such as Ward were with that tournament the fact Ward was the only one to not travel to other countries and the fact he came from a rich background.
GGG comes from a poor country a poor area, Ward doesn't he's had everything his own way but it doesn't matter how many sad people try to keep him down he's arguably the best guy in boxing to watch.
Yada yada yada and more of the same. 33 yrs old and not even one quality opponent and no concrete plan to fight one
I am very bemuse at how everybody think GG beat Cotto. When you look at a resume of the two fighter you see Cotto has a much better opponent. I mean it is really not for debating its open and shut that Miguel has the better opponont.
Cotto beat a Martinez when they all say he will lose it. he beat it and then they all make a excuses saying that he was a cripple, but the truth from the video evidence say he hurt him too early and he didnt recovoer.
not only that but he keep running from Ward who he clearly afraid. Ward call him out and he act like a Mayweather making various demands and different stipulation. He's not got a big PPV rating like the other big star of boxing.
Not only this but he 34 and looks like he in a decline to me while Cotto have a resurgance. I notice a lot of certain fans are getting on a bandwagon for him because he is favoured against a certain fighters.
Truth is GGG is running from ward and is not a given he beats Cotto who is the LINEAL WBC champion.
Not hard to know Mexican fight fans like boxers who fight and leave it all in the ring! He doesn't talk that much, but delivers and comes forward like Chavez Sr. Salvador Sanchez. Gets it done l! What's not to like?
Daniel Geale is just as big as GGG though, if not bigger.
As is Murray, Rubio, Canelo... Golovkin is an average sized middleweight. He just HITS like a LHW.
Look at gggs resume! No silver spoon treatment? GTFOH!

The Tyson syndrome. Once Golovkin meets a good boxer that is his size he will get schooled. Of course he would most likely beat Cotto, the size advantage is just too big.
Daniel Geale is just as big as GGG though, if not bigger.
Mexicans just as anyone else should be like appreciate talent and the sheer drive of Golovkin to put on fights that give the fans what they want.
Take into the fact GGG didn't have your silver spoon treatment, he's not from a rich area at all and he's worked his arse off harder than most boxers its very. very easy to see why the Mexicans show him love.
Look at gggs resume! No silver spoon treatment? GTFOH!
Because mexico hasnt got many elite fighters right now
And gggs fightint style
Naw, Mexicans fighters have that built in pride that makes them want to fight the best fighters, ggg just doesn't fit the bill
This era can be the era of GGG if he take the right fights, He can develop a Tyson-like following due to his KO power/style, but fighting boy-band members shouldn't be the way forward.
Nationalistic idiots leave a bitter taste in my mouth. Margarito already beat Cotto. Floyd beat Cotto and Pacman, (the Mexican killer) beat Cotto. Hell, Austin Trout beat Cotto. Mexican's don't usually like Floyd and they don't like Trout.
Just because people like GGG, doesn't mean they're Mexican. But fyi, GGG is the consensus best at 160. If Cotto is gonna act like a middleweight, he should be required to fight them. That has nothing to do with Mexicans.
