Canelo is an overrated/protected Mexican Boxing Star

[El Tejano]

Canelo is good but not great he lost bad to Mayweather & arguably lost Lara while not convincingly beating small Cotto....& ducking GGG & other true middleweight(Jacobs,Sounders).....

He is good Mexican Boxer but overrated by many.....imo guys like 'Gallo' Estrada,Oscar Valdez,'Zurdo' Ramirez are much more skilled & better Mexican boxers than Canelo...

Facts & boxing knowledge>>>nationalism & fanboism

[El Tejano]

Canelo is hiding from true 160lb Champions in his caneloweight '155'lb catchweight...

Nice assessment. Did you know there is also a handful of people who agree with you?

[RussB23]

I agree hes good but overrated. There is nothing super impressive about him.

[FrankieClutch]

Define overrated. You can say any boxer ever was overrated if we're basing this on what their fans think of them.

F--- thread. Did not receive item. Would not do business with again.

Disagree entirely.

I actually think Canelo is a vastly underrated fighter by most, his skill set is much better and varied than he often gets credit for.

Also, fights against Mayweather, Lara, Cotto and Trout by age 25 suggests he's the opposite of protected. He's gone out of his way to make fights that people claimed he would duck due to the styles.
