    He needs to go on a celebrity ancestry show see if he has Irish ancestors to get some of them behind him speak a little English and be more active on social media there is not much more to gain by simply fighting unfortunately there isn't any good b sides currently and no Puerto Rican opponent's for rivalry

      Canelo could have been bigger than both Mayweather and Pacquiao combined (Mexican fan base) if he was still undefeated. The L on his record hurt his momentum and brand, plus the clen beef controversy adding insult to injury.

          I don't see anything he could have done. Floyd had a lot of factors that worked its way into who he was. There is a natural charisma that male athletes have over female athletes. The physical power, the natural charm of a one handed catch from Odell, the Jumpman symbol etc. Black male athletes have more of it in spades, call it what you want. People had a strong desire to see a black male athlete that was arrogant and ****y lose. It added to his allure as well when he was undefeated and dangled the fact that you couldn't beat him in peoples face. It is what it is.

            Unlike Mayweather (only rumors) Canelo is a verified drug cheat. That alone will haunt his whole career.

              LOL the Capt Obvious answer is Canelo is too ****** to learn English, you people do understand that to break as a star in the West you gotta be able to speak English (even if broken).
