how did canelo manage to get so damn popular

Genaro Hernández is a better win than Austin trout. Doesn't matter how u spin it. Hernández wasn't prime but he was still by far the best fighter in his division up until that time and after his loss to Oscar he proved that by taking out a number of very good fighters. What did Floyd do? He destroyed him. Why am I even debating this? This is sad

your debating this because you were kidding yourself but you dont wanna debate this cause youre kidding yourself

You are the one who is sad with your superiority complex. When I have an opinion you don't like you become rude and insulting. I know about Hernandez and I saw him fight many times. He was 32 years old and about done when Mayweather destroyed him. He quit on his stool to Mayweather the same way he had quit to Oscar. He never fought again after the loss to Mayweather so that should tell you he knew himself he did not have it anymore. Trout is prime and 27 and had never lost. I think the 27 year old Trout is a better fighter than the 32 year old Hernandez. If you don't want to debate this then don't.

In his prime and undefeated like Trout?

Marketing of course. Mexican TV promoted him as a superb boxer even when he was beating bum after bum. Televisa has spent millions of dollars promoting Canelo and helping him to become a star. In the US Univision is part of Televisa so they also helped to promote him as a star.

Danouire Rigo wouldnt of sld out aladome either.

They sold over 10,000 tickets at $10.

Ginger or not, if he had a boring runner style he wouldn't be a popular fighter.

There's the answer. He's not a defensive wizard by any means, but he's willing to get hit to get the shots and combinations he aims for. That's entertaining to many fans.

The most obnoxious fan base in boxing jumped onboard the largest fan base in boxing and mayhem and ******ation have ensued.

He's a unique figure and personality. He also has one of the GOAT nicknames in all of sports.

People who have red hair in any country, usually have nicknames connected to their hair colour. When I bought cinnamon in a Spanish speaking country, it was marked "Pouvre Canelo".

[bojangles1987]

explain Jorge "Maro mero " Paez and why he never became a big star. better yet, explain why Danny "Little Red" Lopez wasn't a star.


nevermimd, you have to know some history .

Because small guys don't tend to be stars, and they didn't have an entire promotional company dedicated to hyping them up.

Stop acting like I said he's only a star because he's ginger. You're lying to yourself if you don't think that's a big part of it.
