Is the Canelo hate simply because of the whole GGG scenario?

[QballLobo]

Its just the vocal minority that the internet gives a mouthpiece to.
Outside the NSB bubble and social media most don't care enough to hate on Canelo, sports fans just want to see exciting fights and finishes.

Yes. It's mostly the Golovkin buttlickers. As a Golovkin fan its annoying. While Canelo deserves criticism for ducking Golovkin, the buttlickers really go overboard with that shit.

But the Cotto fart suckers are also responsible for a portion of the hate.

lmao those nick names doe

It's because the "black americans," as the NSB race baiters say, only like Alvarez because he isn't a white fighter like Kazakh Thunder!

Wait wuhhh, you got what twisted!!??

or is there more to it?

Besides people believing Canelo is ducking GGG I don't see another reason to hate him.

Reading Facebook/Twitter/Instagram comments it seems that Canelo has a lot of critics but I find it hard to believe it's just cause of GGG.

Alvarez just put 50k people into JerryLand, with the PPV likely doing good business (though the fact that the bar I usually go to had fewer people there than usual gives me an indication that the casual fan interest was at/less than the interest for Alvarez-Khan).

The amount of criticism of Alvarez is greatly overstated, likely due to the HBO machine trying to force the PPV fight that they want, which is Alvarez-Golovkin (with HBO hoping to finally leverage Alvarez's name to make Golovkin a PPV attraction for them; pretty much exactly what they're trying to do with the Kovalev-Ward fight, in using Ward's name/reputation to leverage Kovalev into being a draw).

The moment the fight gets announced, if it ever gets announced, the "chatter" will almost immediately shift to "can Golovkin handle the pressure of fighting on such a stage", with the conversation then moving to "what a great performance by the middleweight monster" were Golovkin to win.

1. A young fat boxer who is worshipped by both brown women and even brown men due to his fair skin.

2. An overrated fighter who has gotten controversial and sometimes ridiculous gift decisions by judges in every major fight he's been in.

3. A coward who yelled "We don't fk around in Mehicoh!" and then gave up the belt like a b1tch.

4. Arrogant weight bully who invented 155 aka Caneloweight and has no shame in doing so.

5. Obviously ducking Golovkin, Andrade, and Charlo Twins.

I can go on and on.

It's not hard to see why the kid is despised.

yes, it's because of the GGG ducking ... and because Canelo's Black

there are some dynamics that need to be pointed out. i don't remember the last time I, a rican, as well as many dindus, rallied behind a mexican. not sure if that has more to do with societal progression or the floyd triangle.

i'm paying attention.

It's a lot of hate coming from ***** supporters. I'll just leave it at that.

The shift is interesting. Back before GGG vs Canelo was a thing, "the demographic" as we call them (all the '70s lusting black power types on here) were maniacally anti-Canelo and saw him as the ultimate combined enemy. A white mexican who was making more money than anyone at his age.

Then GGG came around and represented an even worse scenario: The eastern euro invasion was spreading into the smaller divisions. No longer could cruisers and heavies be dismissed as clumsy giants who don't represent "slick boxing mastery" and the old "they went to the NBA" excuse became comical.

This resulted in this interesting scenario where these corn row'd pharaohs had to play GGG and Canelo against each other depending on the weekly climate.

I think the turning point where everyone else started siding with GGG was the 155 bull****. 5 was it fights in a row 1 lb above a division he can barely make because he's larger than most middleweights?

I have always been a big Canelo fan and I still am. I don't think his ducking GGG is any worse than so many other middleweight champions and top middleweight contenders ducking GGG. Canelo is hated more than ever after the GGG affair but he has been well hated by many from the time he first became well known. The main complaint was that he was just a hype job with lots of money and power behind him. They said he couldn't fight but they were building him up with soft touches and cherry picking his fights. The favorite insult was calling him ginger. That was like the lil G insult on GGG. You could always tell a Canelo hater because they called him ginger. That was the first time I ever heard anybody called a ginger.They took a good looking man with red hair and light skin and turned him into this ginger freak. I always liked him as a person and as a fighter.Once an old veteran ex champion came in over weight and was fined $150,000 that was paid to Canelo. Canelo gave the money back to him. How many other boxers would do that?

the whole GGG fiasco plus that he's become more of a diva within the last couple of yrs ..last saturday he proclaimed himself the best fighter on the planet
