    Does "race" play a role in why Chavez Jr. is favored over Canelo

    be fellow Mexican fans

    because Canelo looks like a white irish guy

    serious question, that has to be a major reason why right?

          No, not at all. Canelo is Mexican, from the way he talks, to to the music he listens to, to the food he eats. No body cares about his skin color, he is one hundred percent Mexican.

          If some Mexicans favor Jr over Canelo, it's because of his diva antics and/or because of Chavez Sr.

            Chavez jr only chance at winning is making this fight look like cotto-margs 1. He has to overwhelm canelo with size, chin and activity..

              Chave jr needs to learn how to dress. He looked horrendous at the press standing next to canelo.

                The slick black American's privileged in boxing not the Ginger white guy. If Canelo had came out his Mexican mothers cvnt sporting brown skin and an Afro he'd be a ****ing hero boxing in America right now.

                    No. The Mexicans love them both. I don't think they think of Canelo as a white Irishman. I think they consider him a fellow Mexican. Canelo is heavily favored because he has shown to be a vastly superior fighter to the undependable Chavez. It's no more complicated than that.
