Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr: Canelo Never Hurt Me, He's Not a Big Natural Puncher

Then why didn't he fight back?

It is about Canelo's big mouth and hubris TODAY. He makes most Mexican people feel 2nd-hand embarrassment every time he is in an interview.

I am too tired now to check for the exact quotes, specially the ones he made after the Khan and Chavez Jr. fights, maybe you can check them out yourself, but believe me, if you are fluent in Spanish and have heard him say the crap he has said (not the ridiculously inaccurate translations into English), you will realize Canelo is an arrogant braggart WHO WAS NOT LIKE THAT when he was younger and he was not "a big star."

Specially his allusions to having "big balls", his saying that "Mexicans dont f.uc.k around" addressing/challenging GGG and then declining to fight him at 160, his declaring ****** embarrassing crap like "I was born without fear, I got no share of it, it was already given to everybody else," and "luck is for mediocre people" in an answer to GGG's wishing him good luck in good faith, while GGG was confidently looking at Canelo in the eyes, and Canelo was never making eye contact with GGG while spewing out his ******ity (a sign that Canelo IS STILL AFRAID of GGG).

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. He has said in many occasions that he is the #1 P4P fighter, even after his lackluster performances vs. Mayweather Jr., Lara, Cotto and even Trout.

He is an arrogant bastard and correct me if I am wrong, but most people dislike that type of person. When he was a young and hungry fighter he was humble and likable. He talked little, and fought a lot. Now he is an egocentric person pretty much the same as Floyd became after his dubious wins over Castillo and De La Hoya which catapulted him into huge fame.

Bottom line, his "new" personality, as in an embarrassing and arrogant show-off is what has made him a very unlikable character to most Mexicans in the business.

lol even de la hoyas own grandma knows he lost that fight 8-4

I agree that Canelo is doing a little too much chest thumping these days. I think it sounds out of character and is not necessary. Communication gets garbled a bit when the interpreter who is not Mexican has to interpret colloquial phrases into English. "No salir con mamadas" means more like not to come up with ******ities than to not **** around. And "usan pantalones grandes" means wear big boy pants, but I don't know if that is a phrase that also commonly refers to genitals. As for Canelo being afraid to fight Golovkin, I don't think he is, but I do know he will be well compensated for his troubles. I was more put off by all the whining and complaining and lying by Loeffler, Sanchez, Golovkin and their fellow travelers than anything else. Anyway your points are well taken.

I don't think he's a devastating puncher, but he punchers more than adequately. He can hurt and grab your attention.
