Canelo doing GGG type career.

[aboutfkntime]

Canelo was getting savage insults from fans even when he was 19 years old. People didn’t like when he beat Matt Hatton for the WBC 154 title, but are fine with GGG getting a title by beating Nilson Tapia.

Same people who hate Canelo are also okay with Devin Haney getting a vacant WBC 135 title literally without fighting anyone for it.

Lots of double standards but in the end, people hate Canelo because he is very good and he turned out way better than his detractors predicted. I remember GGG was supposed to KO him in under 6 rounds in the first fight.

exactly !

the difference in demands/expectations was immense

fans were criticizing Canelo when he was 19yo, same with Chavez

Canelo and Chavez were BOTH copping the same flak

" they will never step up... they will never win a world title "

that is what was said repeatedly on this site

Golovkin... fans literally rolled out the red carpet for him... expecting superstars to immediately bend to his every whim, despite the fact that boxing has never worked that way... and happily accepting his absurd excuses to continually select no-hopers

Out of 56 pro fights the diva has 3 noteworthy wins and two of them are controversial.

Canelo would've been considered a protected fraud and would've never come close to sniffing a P4P list unlike GGG who people were already calling one of the greatest middleweights ever before he even fought Jacobs.

Look at the abuse he got when he was a teenager or in his twenties. The only time the nerds and hipsters were on his side was when he fought Floyd who is probably the most hated fighter of all time.


GGG is just one of those fighters who had all the support of the internet, media members and of course HBO. That resulted in a crazy cult like fanbase who didn't care about his resume and overrated everything he did. He was considered different in comparison to the stereotypical representation of boxers who were popular in the US, and all the hipsters especially in the media gravitated towards his story. GGG is the epitome of a media darling

Good boxers are rarely liked when they are active.

Remember, "The Greatest", Muhammad Ali, was also hated to death when he was active. His hate came from various avenues (racial, stance on war, etc) but still, there always seems to be some reason for fans to hate a good boxer. And they hype up mediocre boxers, it seems like this way of thinking makes some fans feel superior. Like they know more boxing if they do not like good boxers and hype up lesser fighters.
