    Is Canelo popular in Mexico?

    As in does he have a lot of fans?

    I always see JMM throwing shade at him.

    Maybe because he is light skinned and has red hair? (Not being racist for once)

    he is like the dallas cowboys from mexico, you either love him or hate him, but he still has crazy ratings in tv that no one has right now...
    he wouldnt be able to walk on the street or go to the movies like any other person...

      So he isn't? I forgot the User on here. He lives in Mexico and he said they don't really like Canelo

      Hyperion I think. He lives in Mexico City.

      From what I see Canelo is more popular with Mexican Americans

          I visited Cancun last year & while talking to the locals mentioned Canelo & got nasty stare from them..
          I said JCC they smiled & said JMM they gave me

          So yeah.. I think he is kind of popular...

            He's about as unpopular as Anthony Joshua in the UK. They cant stand the guy.

              Last time I was in Mexico, I went to a restaurant and there was a portrait of Canelo hanging on the fucking wall, bro.

                  He has tons of haters in Mecxico -- which means hes very popular, bc you have to care to hate someone.

                  Im Mex-American, but Im curious, so if there are any Mexicans on here maybe they can answer:

                  How do Chilangos (from Mexico City) feel about Canelo, since he's Tapatio?

                    Idk about Mexico but he is popular with casuals. My friend who is a causal knows some boxers doesn't really watch the fights might catch highlights later was asked if he was gonna buy the Canelo ppv by this Mexican chick at work. He teased her by saying GGG gonna beat Canelo and she didn't even know who GGG was. Fans like that don't care who Canelo is fighting they dont know if that guys a bum or not and i don't think they care much.
