how did canelo manage to get so damn popular

[Kagami Taiga]

At age 22 he is doing well IMO.

At age 22 Floyd, Manny and Oscar were legit champs. Had fought and dominated top fighters in their weight division. Canelo has yet to do that. That's all I'm saying, they hype doesn't add up with the resume.

maromero n little red were stars of their time, they just could not outshine ali n tyson.

I think Mexico wanted a young rising star and a lot of boxing fans out there like Canelo over Chavez JR.

He is only 22 years old and he has about 41 wins and 30 KOs with 1 draw. He has been a world champion for years. He just beat the guy most raters had as the #1 or #2 Jr. Middleweight in the world. I don't think Mayweather beat anyone as good as Trout before he turned 23.

a lot of hype and promotion by GBP and careful matchmaking (putting him in with past prime and undersized opponents) plus the fact that he looks ginger...

the fact that he can pack stadiums by beating up someone like matthew hatton and josesito lopez says alot about how well GBP hyped him up...

U don't think mayweather beat anyone as good as trout before 23? How long have u been watching boxing? Never mind don't answer that.

I will answer that. I am an army boxer and and a big boxing fan since Patterson KOed Johansson in 1959 so that's 54 years. Now here is a question for you. Who did Floyd beat before he was 23 years old that was a better fighter then than Trout was when Canelo fought Trout? I'll be waiting for your answer, Mayweather fan.

Umm. That's easy, How about Genaro Hernández. Quite simple. Took less than a second,
