I found it funny while reading people consider Canelo as being non white & GGG as white here...
Truth is... Canelo is more White/European than GGG. He is of pure blood Spanish Conquistador descent.
While GGG is a half Korean (Koryo Saram).
Spanish men...

...
does it matter?
he's mexican as hell
and with that being said..
he has the best boxing fan base in the world...
and yes his skin is white
which most mexicans prefer
and his attractive
which the ladies love
he's the full package to be boxings megastar
he doesn't need the Caucasian support
which if he had
he could easily surpass floyds wealth
he actually still can if golden boy manages him well. If they pick the right opponents, promote it and sell it to the masses the right way
he could be banking in a hell of a lot more millions per fight
especially if he beats GGG
the sky is the limit for the kid
That may all be true but Canelo is still a Mexican who was born there and lived there all his life while GGG is an Eastern European who was born there and lived there all his life. They are both brave skillful hard hitting boxing champions and their fight should be a good one.They are both super heroes in their counties.
Golovkin is from Kazakstan which is in Central ASIA; this is not only not anywhere near Europe much less eastern "euro" it's not even on the same Continent. Russia when it was part of the multicultural nation known as the USSR was the dominant force. Golovkins mother was of korean origin and his father of russian descent and culturally he is a Kazak. FYI
well thats you, the vast majority of Mexicans are mestizo and actually tend to be more native american than anything, even the light skin ones.
Also, according to your location you are indeed Spanish? So 58% is actually pretty low considering you are a Spaniard.
Yea my test show 28 % Native American than like every race in the Universe from Italian, French, German Asian and 4% West African I guess my ancestors got around
Most I said I'm 58% Iberian and I'm the color Santa Cruz

So thats why joe was such a slick bruva! hes basically black!
Yeah Joe is the Michael Corleone of boxing. His dad is Sicilian. I don't think his dad went to the UK until he was about 18.
Not true.
I'm Mexican and one of those Mexicans on the lighter side at that, not Canelo skin tone, more like ODLH, Cesar Chavez, Leo Santa Cruz light, and I'm only 20% Iberian Peninsula (Spanish), I'm more Native American than anything... was shocked to see that I'm also 5% African (ancestry dna) and I'm a light skin Mexican......

Some of Nelo's bros are olives skin like JCC or lighter like Jr. Look at Jessica Alba's children or Neymar's son. Sometimes recessive genes from the past become created again. Nelo seems to be one of the sons that looks like his mom and skin tone the most whereas the others most likely look like the dad in skin tone. There are many gingers in Turkey too and we have a ton of ethnicities
isn't Turkey a middle eastern nation ethnically, even tho it is geographically European?
I believe the turkish flag is the star and crescent moon a staple of muslim/mideast nations, thats why they are brown/gold skin tone
I got owned how?
Joe Calzaghe's mother had all the traits of a typical "Welsh beauty" in her younger days. You get dark-haired whites as well as the blondes and reds. It is not unknown like you have convinced yourself. His father is also of Sicilian origins, in case you didn't already know.
Your family tree sounds like a mish-mash of mongrels. So do you not sport a Freddie Mercury moustache and pray to Allah?
So thats why joe was such a slick bruva! hes basically black!
Are you aware most Mexicans have at least 50% Spanish in them
Not true.

Lmao. He said he "takes his Russian side more." I guess ggg pretends to like his twin when "choosing" his "Russian side" On Thursday's...
Lots of Russian is in asia.
LOL NSB.
Last few times I visited Mexico City and Toluca I swear 1 in every 3 people there looked very much Spanish (Mediterranean).
Very different in rural areas, but cities have a lot of, what NSB calls "white folk" there. Blonds all over the place.
You guys didn't know there are "white" Mexicans? They must constitute at the very least 30% of the population, with the remainder majority Mestizo and the rest indigenous.
Mexican kids with Res hair:
that, or maybe Canelos mom just had a one night stand with some Irish guy visiting Tijuana lol
or maybe Gennadys dad and Canelos mom hooked up and they are brothers but dont know it lol.
We need Maury to get to the bottom of this sorcery!!!!

You look like you have a bit of Epicanthic Fold. Probably old school Anatolian Turkic blood when Greeks and Italians lived in pre-Ottoman territory. Greeks and Italian phenotypes exist in Turkey as we're all a unified blend of mixed Mediterranean cultures. For this you get an A+ but you get downgraded to a B- for hating on the SOG, but re-evelated to an A minus for hyping your Asian roots and loving GGG as the Kazakhs share Turkic ancestry.
If you want elevation back to A+ you must BET the ultimate BET, for Glory, you going with your Asian Anatolian roots or for the next Mexican great?
ancestry proximity never factors in to what fighters I admire, but that being said of course I'm rolling with GGG.............
And just to further muddy the issue, there are some "Mendes" relatives on my fathers side, who were from Spain and Portugal. So does that mean I'm supposed to favor Canelo due to the Hispanic connection? lol
Canelo is actually whiter than GGG plain and simple.

GGG looks legit mexican next to this albino.
Good to see u back Terry. Btw you look like a Russian Asian hybrid yourself with Greek parents. That skull... unfortunately by your genetic look you have no white in you. :)

half greek, half italian, but until I send a swab to ancestry.com i guess nobody knows for sure lol
Edit: and as for the "skull" remark, I did have a black one punch hat on in the photo (as always), the angle just makes it hard to see the hat bill lol.
