The Irish might be able to partially claim Canelo Alvarez as one of their own

That is what Irish boxers throughout history are known for as well.

This^^^^^big time fact

My Irish neighbor already has fully claimed him as one of his own and my Black friend who is a history buff swears Canelo is 100% Irish born in Mexico lol.

[SN!PER]

Are the Irish the only fucking gingers in this world??? My gosh I hate it when every one automatically thinks red haired people are Irish especially the Mexican ones since THERE WERE RED HEAD SPANIARDS!!! There are Irish people all over Europe... Brittain, Spain, Germany, etc. The odds of Saul having ancestry from a fuckiing batalion of Irish men are very slim and I doubt that the thousands of red heads in Mexico come from the San Patricos ffs...

People are just teasing a little bit because his hair is so damn red and that's the stereotype. But yeah, he could easily have Spanish, British, or even French ancestry for all we know. I have a 100% Portuguese friend with reddish-brown wavy hair, and people think she's Irish.

Irish boxers can not be compared to Mexico's rich boxing history.

Not even close buddy.
