Why do people pretend Orlando Salido was bad?

[ShaneMosleySr]

Salido is a three time world champion at featherweight.

He has wins over Juan Manuel Lopez, Vasyl Lomachenko and Cesar Soto.

7 of his 14 losses came before he turned 23, 6 of those came before he turned 20.

His losses after he turned 23: former champion Alejandro Gonzales, former champion Juan Manuel Marquez, former champion Cristobal Cruz, former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa, former champion Mikey Garcia, former champion Roman Martinez and Miguel Roman.

So why the hate for Salido?

[E-Thug]

I have no idea myself but he's one of my all time favourites simply because he's a breathing fight of the year factory. The guy is puro Mexicano machismo - all balls, all heart and a bad bad man. I think he gets a bad rep to aggrandise Lomachenko's loss to him but eff all of those childish games, Salido was a G

[YoungManRumble]

I like Salido. His head was clearly designed by god to be lead with like a 3rd fist.

[KillaMane26]

I loved his fights with Lopez.

I guess people hate him cuz he beat Loma in a dirty fight. Funny cuz they had no problem with Maidana fighting Floyd just as dirty.

[WarHagler]

It's not Salido , its Papchenko.

[tjones1989]

Orlando Salido is a great fighter; he gave Lomachenko a really tough fight. I don't know what people are talking about when they say he was headbutting and cheating against Loma, sounds like haters to me.

[Mammoth]

Nobody hates Solido but...

14 losses

Says something

[Floyd is TBE]

Never said he was bad, but he's a gatekeeper. Someone with Loma's supposed skills and hype should have been able to dispatch a fighter of Salido's level with little trouble.

Haters are gonna hate, especially Loma fans.

it was his second fight, and no he should not! you just want to resent the guy for... reasons .

name me one fighter who would beat salido in his second fight, and show me on boxrec or with a video why you think so.

i'd actually challenge you to find me a tougher opponent for a fighter's second fight in the last 10 years. the best recent example is literally connor mcgregor, whose fame got him a shot against an aging but still great floyd mayweather in his pro debut. mcgregor, of course, hardly won a round. lomachenko had salido figured out by round 12 and was starting to beat him up.
