They are still here and Canelo will get even more haters as the years go by believe me...he definatly earned my respect in facing Lara & Trout, but still he is avoiding the 160 divison like death even though he cant make 154 no more and that tells you alot about "fighting everybody". Another thing is that he is just average but he gets treated like hes the next Chavez or Marquez and at last the biggest reason why haters will multiply is his attitude. Yeah he seems like a nice guy and all but he already is Cotto mixed with Mayweather regarding attitude. The difference between them is that they earned the reputation and being the a-side the hard way, Canelo became champion beating bums that were 20 pounds less than him and jumping weightclasses or 50 year olds. Got a Mayweather fight not because of quality (as we all could see in the fight) but cause of his popularity. We all could see what type of guy he is in the Cotto negoations telling the A-side he wants this sponsor, this weight, this location, this date, this everything and that really speaks volumes about his character which will become a HUGE problem in future. Nobody likes a spoiled child and guys like Khan, Mayweather or Broner got this many haters not cause the things they do inside of the ring but do and say outside the ring.
The number one head scratcher is how people talk about Canelos performances against guys like Trout and Lara.
What about Trout and Ladas performance against Canelo????
Only works one way for the ****** ****roaches
What about them?
Are you trying to say that Lara/Trout did so bad that Canelo won?
That would make sense if Canelo did any better
But my views are irrelevant. If you want to come to a (somewhat) justified analysis of Canelo as a fighter, the wider views of his performances are most important - and it just so happens those wider views are totally split.
I think Lara edged Canelo, and Trout did a tiny bit better, but I respect those who saw Canelo winning them both closely. A draw is the best result in my opinion
Even those that had Canelo winning admit it could have conceivably gone to Lara
Same for the Trout fight
Draws would have been a much better result given the 50/50 split between those fights, but due to the nature of officiating in this sport, Canelo gets away with 2 'victories' which are disputed.
Major major respect for Canelo for taking on Trout and Lara, though I really hope he wasn't made aware of lenient scorecards before the bout (the open scoring in the Trout fight was criminal), but I don't think he was. However, he only has 1 decisive win against a top 10 at 154, and not even at the weight, in Angulo.
No way was Angulo top 10 then. His best win since his comeback was that struggle with Silva.
