Why is Canelo still not a household name? He`s like the Mayweather/Pacquiao of the current era.

maybe cos funny judges cards in his fights and cherry picking.

I wish to see him as undisputed at SMW, so this next should be Plant most likely.

Funny was to watch Khan fight and comments and cards. Hero beated up bulked up welterweight.
Next fun: card vs Floyd Jr.
Only then next fun: nice hometown comments and cards vs GGG.
Btw if someone here is crying that GGG fought bums, Canelo like GGG had won Jacobs only on cards.
And Jacobs today still is ranked in top 5 by boxrec, highly ranked in western rankings etc.

 

Maybe because he is not an interesting character.

 

Name me an interesting character that is well known.

 

NOPE..

Both Floyd and Pac both DLH"s coats to superstardom.

 

He can cuss & swear OK in English though LOL

 

Canelo has too many dark clouds of suspicion over him to appeal to boxing fans. The Popping dirty for Clenbuterol, the embarrassing saga of him handing back the WBC belt rather than defend against GGG turned his own great Mexican fans against him. Then you get the very suspect judges cards in his favor & all the other perks Vegas give him.
Really its a shame because the kid can FIGHT!! & really could probably have done it on his own.
I know I'll be accused of being a hater but I'm really not I'm just giving my honest opinion

 

He lacks charisma. He is robotic. The only reason why he has attention is because of the mexican fans. If he was from East Europe he will be no more popular than GGG.

 

canelo is 30. When floyd was 30 he was stalking oscar for a fight, changing his nickname and begging for attention.

 

yes, because gg became pro at 16 yo, and fought in plenty of weights all around the world. Fought a lot of well known people, and ...

oh, wait...

 

You mean less known in the Uk? What non heavyweight or non brit boxers from previous decades were known by people where you live? Probably too busy being soccer hooligans.

 

I have no idea why you keep copy-pasting Wikipedia articles. He looks fully White because of how dominant ginger genes are (like Blake Griffin), but he's not fully Irish/White as evidenced by his family on his mother's side. That was my only point.
