    It seems that he is the most hated fighter of all times.
    Is it the reputation of cherry picking old, shot guys with big name?
    Controversial wins?
    Failed PED tests?
    Things he says, (arrogance)?

    I voted for Arrogant personality

    The way he claims he is real world champion at 168 lbs is beyond ridiculous

    Diva behavior. Preferential judging. Weight clauses (Cotto was one of the first to do this btw). Cherry picking. Arrogance to suggest GGG is no competition when most observers had the fights 1-1. Clenbuterol. Lately he fights like all he has to do is show up and he will get the decision because he's A side. And he's probably right about that too.

    I like him and it seems that he has a large fan base. All successful people have haters, the fact he has so many haters just demonstrates how successful he's been.

    Too much leverage to dictate advantages.

    - Favourable de ision gainst GGG twice and Lara
    - Spot picking the likes of Fielding instead of Smith or BJS and Kovalev instead Beterbiev or Bviol.
    - Arrogant personality
    - failed PED test

    He has more fans than every other active fighter save AJ.

    Last Saturday night's fight really did a number on his haters. :dancer2:

    Floyd also had a lot of haters, but nothing compared to Canelo. At least Floyd had an amazing skill set when Canelo is a B plus at best.

    Both have similar skillsets, the difference is that Canelo is a much bigger and more dynamic power puncher than Floyd ever was.

    “Too handsome/significant other or family member(s) wants to **** him” should be an option.

    Ok.

    I was responding to 941Jeremy's post about too much leverage. Pac is king when it comes to that.
