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

[elfag]

Mexicans dont see Canelo as a true mexican due to his ethnicity.

They see a mexican with that slick defense and massive snake and think he must be black.

People should listen better and understand what is being said. Abel did not believe GGG lost. He motivated GGG to do better in a close fight to make sure they win convincingly. He gave props to Canelo and did not bash him in defeat. None of that amounts to Abel admitting GGG legitimately lost.

of course not, he is a biased trainer, but i never said that he had ggg losing the fight, read my post again, abel had the fight a draw, he clearly said that... this is a post about duran and his opinion, and you bring other boxes, but you dont like when i do the same.. like i told the other poster, i respect everyone's opinion in such a close fight... if you think ggg won that is just your own personal opinion, mine is different and neither will change anything...

Canelo p4p top 5, did what no one else could which is beat the #1 middleweight at his own game and walked him down to boot while coming off a year layoff and surgery while only 1 fight in at 160!

Haters extra salty since 9/15/18

Would you like fries �� with that salt?

Mayweather

Mosley

Trout

Lara

Angulo

Kirkland

GGG

Name a fighter with that resume of stepping in the ring with

You should have left Kirkland, Angulo, and Mosley off that list. They were not threats to Canelo at the time he fought them. With that said, he's fought top level competition.

not in Mexico. Those stats come from America. Real Mexicans in Mexico and in the states don't like this guy. I work with a few of them and you won't believe the **** that say.

those stats are from televisa and tvazteca in mexico only, you dont even know what you are talking about... im a mexican that lives in mexico and i know much more about this than you and your coworkers...

I don’t think your back has to touch the rope for it to considered backpedaling. Also, canelo was never hurt people that say that were just listening to that fan boy jim lampley since he kept screaming like canelo was going to get knockout when he was clearing slipping punches and never even buckled.

if you're back pedaling, your back touches the ropes at some point during the fight. You'd also see some foot movement back at forth, none of that happened. He circled him. Theres a huge difference if you know boxing or have ever boxed. You denying that Canelo was hurt and was just slipping punches sounds clueless to be honest. I didn't even watch the fight with sound on the first time so lampley has no effect on what I saw with my own eyes. It's crazy how you talk about lampley as a ggg fan boy but ignore the blatant cheerkeading Canelo gets from hbo announcers. If you listened to max Kellerman, you'd think Canelo was dominating by winning "the story of the fight" as he's getting outlanded round after round.

It's 2018 in this age with social media and everything nobody is loved 100%. Everybody will have haters if you don't have haters then you ain't doing extraordinary shyt. He fought everybody they wanted him too. He whooped GGG azzz and did it Mexican Style and rearranged his face. Mexican fans who were foolish to root for GGG were embarrassed and burning GGG gear and booing GGG after the fight. Canelo stamped his greatness and is already on a list of all time great Mexicans. Canelo is a boss and if 90% of Mexico loves canelo who cares about the 10% that don't, count your money and laugh all the way to the bank fans and haters paying to watch you fight all the same.

Sontines ju got too call a gringo a gringo mang

What you don't get is that GGG backed up the whole fight after he called out Canelo for running.

Oh, that's a scoring criteria. I didn't know.

Just stop it, just don't, that's a lie and you know it about Mexican fans burning GGG's clothing. A few idiots do not define thousands of Mexicans who supported and still support GGG. You are making a rule out of exception.

In your own words it seems that only 10% of Mexicans appreciate the pure sport side of boxing, not the glamour or money. These are the 10% who support GGG. 90% support the diva of Mexican boxing. Kardashian has more followers than Neil De Grass Tyson. What else is new in the world?

What's that supposed to mean? Mexicans treat gringos differently than they treat Mexicans? I never knew that. If that's the case, why is the media constantly obsessed with gringos supposedly being racist towards Mexicans if in reality it's the opposite of that, according to Latino icon Roberto Duran?
