Comments Thread For: Duran: Canelo Deserves Respect, Treated Like a Gringo in Mexico

[Mexican_Puppet]

Thats real

It is increíble the hate of a lot mexicans to Canelo.

Is the most hated champ on mexican history.

[aboutfkntime]

not sure if Canelo has that many haters, I doubt it.....

..... probably only about 97,000

but Duran is correct about who won the fight

the fans who are crying robbery..... are just crying

Sad but true.

Canelo would get more love down there if he was darker like Morales or Barrera.

I doubt that. If anything he'd be more reviled. Mexicans worship Spaniards more than their indigenous population. Even though Mexicans are majority Mestizos, half indigenous half white, they'll side with their white side. If you watch telenovela, or listen to their music, literally all the big entertainers are White(Spanish), those that look like Canelo not those that look like Erik Morales.

I don’t know about that, I go to Mexico every summer and without a doubt Canelo is one of the biggest stars.

Not just boxers but all around mainstream star.

I just got back from Mexico his name of definitely around. But not on those soccer starts levels. They goalie from the National team is famous.

There's a few reasons they haven't embraced him.His catch weights and drained opponents coming up and too many questionable decisions. Americans haven't embraced him either because he hasn't embraced them. Not one word of English? He wants to be idolized but doesn't care enough to be warm to American fans. GGG and Loma are both talking pretty good English they understand where their $$$ come from. Canelo just don't give a f**k

Canelo gets the same treatment in Mexico Cotto would receive in PR. (Penalized for not being Chavez Sr./Trinidad)

[MagikLair]

in agreements with others.. You want to be a star everywhere learn English

[batista84]

I noticed you threw old mosley, angulo and Kirkland in there as if you were impressed. And your bragging of him doing what no one else could seems a little fanboyish. Generous decisions from judges is no reason to celebrate. Jacobs fought ggg better than Canelo did either time.

With all due respect, Jacobs did a hell of a fight but to say that he did better than Canelo in the second fight I think is not crediting the fact that not only Canelo not touched the canvas as Jacobs did but he pushed GGG back over the 12 rounds something that not even Jacobs could do and I'm almost sure that GGG felt more damage from this second fight with Alvarez than Jacobs.

Like I said due respect to Danny because he is a hell of a fighter but let's not kid ourselves and talk nonsense.

Canelo beat GGG at his own game.
