LOL, Canelo is such a hypejob

[bigfo0t]

He is an extremely rare commodity who was built up on national television for years until stepped up to world class fighters. Not hard to understand why he is a huge star in Mexico.

Like other posters have stated he and his camp are master water cut manipulaters. It's sad that boxing commissions allow the water cuts that guys do these days. It allows JCC jr to come into fights the same size as Jack Dempsey and fight Middleweights. This guy does the same thing and is scared to fight a guy who is the same weight as him on fight night? That's what I don't get.

..and the funny part, even Chavez Jr. calls Canelo a coward.
You know it's bad when that dude calls you out on that sht.

lucky punch. Get lost.

Algieri was timing his right hand against khan lol it was only a matter of time.

Can someone tell me why Canelo is so scared to fight Golovkin? But not afraid to fight Khan?

[Mooshashi]

He can be considered a hype job if anyone puts him up there with the JC Chavez Sr types in the Mexican boxing history. But he IS a very good boxer. Yes, boxer. He figured out Khans' plan, took a few rounds but eventually overcame a boxer who had much faster hands and feet. The punch that took Khan out also took out Kirkland...feint a left hook to the body and throw an overhand right that his opponent doesn't see. It was a cold hard strategic punch, not a lucky punch by any means.

Canelo is a much better boxer than many people think.

But he IS a punk if he doesn't fight GGG at 160.

[sicko]

Hype Job? No! He is a Decent fighter with some boxing skills but do i see Greatness or anything special about him? Not Really!

This is the ERA in which HYPE is more important than talent and skills!

Canelo is no hype job, boner. He is a legit strong 154lber. Khan stepped up and did well until he got caught. Much respect to him, but Canelo is legit. Lara, Angulo, Cotto, and many others will tell you otherwise. The kid is real.

The only great talent that Canelo has is cutting weight. And no one can say that he's not using illegal methods to do it. If he's so good, then why doesn't he fight a real MW at 160?

What hype?

Its widely accepted that Canelo's star power outshines his ability in the ring. Its quite perculiar, as I can't remember the last time the biggest star in boxing wasn't part of the very elite. But it is what it is

In 3 of his 4 biggest fights, he was either clearly defeated (Floyd) or was on the fortunate end of a fight which could have gone either way. The fight he won in Cotto, a lot of the rounds were fairly close. I guess his appeal isn't his ability, his fans watch him for his image? I don't get it myself really

Yes. Mexicans insecure fans love him because he looks like european.

I agree with you 100% that he needs to fight GGG. I just don't think he is a hype job. He's acting like b#tch hanging on to that belt at 155.

lolololololol

Meh...I was buzzed hard this morning. 154lbs is where he made his name. He's a ***** right now though with the 155lb crap. Still he's not a hype job.

[Damn Wicked]

I've always thought Canelo is way overrated. He's a a pretty good fighter but he has some really glaring limitations/ weaknesses. His foot speed/ movement, his punch output and his lack of stamina is average at best. He seems to be strong and has a good chin. But he's usually fighting smaller guys so I don't know if that's just an illusion.
