      If you ask anyone in Europe or Asia about Canelo, nobody knows him. GGG is pretty much well known to everyone who is a casual fighting fan.

      You can just check google trends for popularity, GGG is way ahead of Canelo worldwide, just Mexico and southern parts of the US are Canelo territory.

      GGG is ahead in 200+ countries, Canelo in 5?
      GGG was voted best P4P boxer in the world by UK fans in a recent Sky Sports poll.

      Canelo is known in the UK for ko'ing Amir Khan, then calling GGG into the ring and saying he was going to fight him next, then ducking Golovkin and fighting Liam Smith instead.

          Hehe exactly. I have to say Canelo is known on Social Media, but not for his skills or style, he is known for ducking and being a coward. Canelo ducking is a Meme.

              Canelo is known for fighting Mayweather.

                Which boxers were these casual Guatemalans able to identify?

                  I know someone who doesn't know GGG or Canelo but knows who Fury is.

                  via *****

                  Is Fury the fighter that in a match punched his own face?

                    Nobody in the real world knows who he is.
                    did this happen in the welfare line?

                      Judging by your post count I'm guessing you know he is.

                      I wasn't implying Fury is more well known than GGG or Canelo. I just gave an example of a person I know in relation to the topic.
