    I would think any NSB poster of Mexican heritage would be offended at HBO for the way they market GGG and at ESPN/Showtime for the way they allow announcers to say "Mexican style" repeatedly.

      Why would one be offended by that? Boxing is all about marketing , it's the same reason Floyd fights strictly on Mexican Holidays and why they play the Mexican National anthem during a big fight even if neither fighter is from that country.

      "Mexican style" is simply that, a style of fighting.

        I think its kind of stereotyping. do all Mexicans fight the same way? Just my opinion, not a big deal.

          It was a big enough deal for you to think that someone of Mexican descent should be offended.

            GGG has a very diverse fanbase because of his boxing style and his willingness to play to the crowd during his ringwalk and interviews. He doesn't act all stuck up and arrogant so he is viewed as an approchable guy enjoying what he does and doesn't need to act tough or talk trash. Basically a guy that knows what he has and doesn't need to make a commotion. And as far as Mexican Style it's done more as an appreciation of the great Mexican boxers that looked to entertain and press for the KO if available which has become more rare nowadays among top established boxers today who look to secure the W.

                    Canela has no stanima and es slow feet.
                    Cotto lost to Trout.
                    Canelo beat Lara.

                    That pretty much gives me a good idea who I think will take this fight.
