What if Canelo Alvarez looked like the typical Mexican fighter?

[Portman]

I think it's definitely because of the way he looks that people from some people from Mexico don't like him. It goes both ways really, if he was a "morenito" no one would pay attention to him, but since he's a red haired paled mexican people outside of mexico pay attention to him. Some people in Mexico usually hate or pick on the pale looking kid, they always make fun of him by calling him a "guerito."

does that by any chance mean Carrot Magician?

you guys are ******ed. If another 21 year old ammased a 40 and 0 record he would get alot of hype no matter how he looked.

40-0 record against who? Check the opposition, Chavez Sr was like 50-0 all against cab drivers, numbers mean $h1t if the quality is not there, what do you prefer a 100 one dollar bill or 50 one hundred bill?

that is not the point. The point is with a record like that the general public will back the fighter bc he is a winner. specially considering he is so young. And that example makes no sense whats so ever.

So basically you're saying his hype only comes from his red hair and pale skin?

Good looking + good boxer, recipe for success. Color doesn´t matter, ask Giovanni Caro lol.

I forgot who said this...but if it was all because of his looks, then there would be thousands of Canelos making money in Mexico. Saul is a top professional boxer that will only get better from here, no one can deny that.
