Why does Canelo look so white (gringo)?

His mother was very, very naughty one night.

Nah

He looks the same as all his other siblings except he has a lighter skin tone.

Look at how European and white many Argentinians look. People from different races mix all the time and there are dominant and recessive genes.

His mom was ****ed down by a ginger. look at his dad. look at all his brothers. hes not just white looking but straight up pasty irish. that aint his dad. even two non irish white people dont just have a random red head out of nowhere like that. spanairds dont have red heads either.

Agreed, boxing is being dominated by two Irishmen, Canelo and Tyson Fury.

Because Canelo is predominantly white, and there's plenty of predominantly white Mexicans. Honestly, I don't even know what's the criteria to call someone white. Is it color? Is it ancestry, genetic make up?

[Hype job]

Because he's a white brotha.

Not sure what you're implying here? If you don't mind, could you rephrase it? Obviously, there aren't any studies behind the professional boxer's genetic background and I am just making assumptions here.

Canelo had mentioned that his great grandfather from his mother's side was a soldier from the Saint Patrick's battalion, which was a Mexican Army's unit mostly composed of Irish immigrants.

As for Canelo's father he looks like a tanned Spaniard:

Ali's great grandfather was also Irish, would be something if it turned out to be the same guy.

Canelo's dad looks like he could be cast as a villain in James Bond or John Wick.

Mexican is a nationality, you have Asians, Arabs, European, Africans.

Mexican is not a race, most Mexicans are Mestizo (indian and white), but others are in between.

The Sulaiman family (WBC Presidents), they are Middle Eastern decent.

Jose Sulaimán's father was of Lebanese descent and his mother of Syrian descent and he was born in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico. - Wikipedia.

I have never seen a Mexican that looks like a gringo. What gives?

He's Irish and adopted, that's why.

I have never seen a Mexican that looks like a gringo. What gives?

Spanish/Latinos come in all colors.

Cause Europeans have been to Mexico and fooked one of his ancestors clearly
