90% of the great boxers in history had accomplished less than Canelo at the same age.

Floyd and Pacquiao are bad examples because they were champions and fighting tough comp at 21 but that isn't the norm.

I dont care if he is only 21 years old. but he has a world title which he doesnt deserve. he can fight shot fighters all day long but not while he is holding a fake world title which he doesnt deserve to have.

He's had 40 fights and is a world champion. Maybe if he didn't shamelessly win a belt against an unranked opponent he would get less crap about his opposition.

I like Canelo and there are fewer and fewer people who hate on him with each passing day. I think he's got the skills but he is in for a tough one this May.

He needs to step up his competition.

Fighting a shot to **** Mosley sure isnt helping.

I not sure why people hate Canelo but I can tell you why i dislike him at this point, Yes he won a slice of the title, but is the hype that surrounds him, let the kid show us against a top level opponent what he can do. Same type of hype happened with jorge linares and victor ortiz.

Y'all have to remember the kid is only 21 fooken years old! He is very young and has a lot of fight left. Ask
Yourself this who was floyd fighting at 21? Who was PAC fighting at 21? Name one 21 year old fighter who wad elite at that age? There arent manny. I'm not too fond of the kid but I'm smart enough to see that he has the tools to be a big fish in a small pond and I know it's something that takes time. HR has slowly stepped up in competition.

Bad example on Pacquiao. Pacquiao actually has defeated a LINEAL champion at the age of 19.

Also, didn't Mayweather beat Hernandez when he was like 21?

I get what the TS is saying, because most fighters at the age of 21 aren't fighting at the world class level, but Pac and Mayweather were horrible examples.

He receives a lot of criticism because he has a title and is ranked high in his division despite facing average opposition.
