Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: GGG's Mexican Style A Gimmick; Canelo's Fans Loyal

[aboutfkntime]

It was more the fact that g's fans put him on this pedestal that he doesnt deserve to be on. Like he an atg and he isn't... The whole "everyone ducked him and everytime a fight with a supposed fighter didnt happen it was always the other guys fault not ggg" also i like canelo more than ggg so naturally I started tk dislike ggg. But im happy now, ggg will be done in less than 30 days!

and they blindly bashed every fighter from Hagler to Ward in order to make it so

it is the blatant disrespect for the sport/fighters that got to me

just like they did with Pacquiao

it is childish nonsense

He will get his props if he wins however, he will always be remembered as a cheater. everyone eat tacos outside, mexican soccer players as well. and none were caught having clen in the system.

sooner they will fight, sooner both boxers will move on. cause i've been tired of their teams barking at each other, trying to sell it hard.

"Positive tests for five players from the senior Mexico squad had alerted Fifa to a possible issue, and when four more positive tests emerged from the youth tournament the governing body decided to reanalyse all the 208 urine samples taken.".....

Fans loyal?


They boo'd him after the fight

[j.razor]

I was at the first fight and they didn't seem that loyal after 12 rounds, they went pretty quiet. Loud booing from everyone when they read the scorecards out.

Cuz Nelo got robbed.

lol You must be a real brave, die hard, no holds barred, Rambo, super hero type, testosterone filled macho man type dude who can do push ups on his pinky fingers to criticize the accomplishments of a Boxing Hall of Famer that won championships in 6 weight divisions "professionally". Unless Im responding back to the late great P4P Sugar Ray Robinson(who had 19 defeats btw), your opinions about De La Hoya don't mean much.

If you are a De La Hoya hater no matter what I say you will try to discredit him so im done. Just remember you are on a boxing website trying to trash the resume of a ceritified boxing Hall of Famer and Olympic gold medalist and one of the most financally successful fighters of all time during and after his boxing career. He must have been doing something right...

AGAIN, you keep changing the narrative which is probably what you do EVERYTIME you post here. No one is mentioning anything about financials after boxing. I mean Floyd has way more money than Oscar, a ton of investments, quite a few businesses, and his own promotion company. No one has made more money in the sport than Floyd and he has a much better resume than Oscar with titles also in multiple divisions, being undefeated with more quality wins against fighters in their PRIME and qualify wins AFTER HIS PRIME and when he was older than Oscar. When Floyd was 35 and above he was beating contenders and good fighters. When Oscar was 35 and up, he was getting blasted out the ring by Manny and has a win against Steve Forbes. But we aren’t talking about Floyd OR financials or money.

I’m talking about what Oscar said. He said he faced great fighters. TRUE, I 100% agree. Oscar fought a lot of great fighters. But he also said he had great wins against great fighters. I said, I only see (2) great WINS against P4P and future HOF’ers IN THEIR PRIME.

That’s not being a Oscar hater at all or trying to discredit the man. He did win an Olympic Gold Medal, I will give him credit for that. But I looked at his PROFESSIONAL RESUME and it doesn’t look impressive based on wins and losses. If you had any common sense and objectivity, YOU would admit it isn’t that much better than Fernando Vargas. That’s all I said.

And it’s not the difficult to get into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, it’s as easy as getting into the NBA Hall of Fame. I don’t believe Winky Wright deserved a HOF nod recently. Those are the (2) easiest SPORT HOF’s to qualify for, not sure you knew that.

And I never said Oscar won’t make it to the HOF, I said he isn’t a HOF’er in my book taking a objective and real close look at his “professsional resume.”

And PLEASE, PLEASE, don’t embarrass yourself on a boxing forum with knowledgeable fans mentioning Oscar in the same breath as Sugar Ray Robinson. Are you on drugs, have you been drinking?????

Sugar Ray Robinson had 199 fights. How many losses would Oscar have IF he fought almost 200 fighters. And out of his 19 losses; he avenged (4) of those losses and (3) of those avenged wins came against HOF’ers Basilio, Fullmer, and LaMotta. And Robinson beat (7) HOF’ers, Henry Armstrong, Kid Gavilan, Carmen Basilio, Jake LaMotta, Rocky Graziano, Gene Fullmer and Fritzie Zivic.

“Technically” Oscar beat (4) HOF’ers, Camacho, Chavez, Whitaker, & Gatti. But he beat Chavez, Camacho on the tail end of theirs careers after they all had so many fights. Gatti was over rated, prime example that it’s easy to get into the HOF. Oscar only beat (1) when they were in their prime, Whitaker, a lot of people had that fight a draw or a win for Whitaker.

Someone needs to revoke your boxing card. You don’t know sh@t about boxing. STOP IT!

Same thing I saw at T-Mobile Arena after the first fight.

[Jab jab boom]

I'm a real fan and I support him because of his boxing skills and ability. The fact that he is Mexican helps so I won't lie. I hated mayweather, but I was a fan of his boxing skills and ability, was a fan of ggg, till his fans open their mouth. Mikey is my favorite boxer, I like Thurman, Spence, bud, wilder, zurdo, gallito, Valdez... Just a short list.

it's 1 thing to like a fighter off of nationalistic pride combined with other aspects such as fighting style, hunger, etc. But imo, outside of the ring antics would have turned me off to Canelo even if I shared the same ethnicity as him. I've been turned off to fighters of my own ethnicity after supporting them originally for much less reasons than what Canelo has done.

[Jab jab boom]

You trying to tell us you like a fighter that gets punched in the face all the time verse a boxer with stick & move skills? LMAO....That's B.S. Nelo got SKILLS & its what lil g LACKS.

the irony of how some fans criticized mayweather style constantly, called him boring, but now when one of their own has been accused of not fighting in a pleasing style, their tune changes. But what I was referring to with ggg is his desire to seek out kos and action. When I said Canelo had given fans reasons not to like him, I wasn't talking about his fighting style, I was referring to his diva behaviors, dropping belts and arguing with the organization over a mandatory defense, complaining over a draw in a fight most had him losing, certain opponent selections and positive ped tests.
