    One word, privilege. As a cash cow in the making, he was afforded title shots that a lot of fighters have to work for. Now that's pretty much how it's been for LONG time. Doesn't make it right. Once he ascended to a certain level, there is no more level playing field w/ Canelo fights. He calls the shots and gets what he wants.

    "It seems that he is the most hated fighter of all times."

    He's not anything of "all times", good or bad. Maybe the most ginger fighter of all times, although I'm sure some Irish guys would beat him to it as well.

    Privilege like Loma getting a title shot in his 3rd fight? Canelo had 50 pro fights by the time he was 25. Hard to argue he was handed anything

    He robbed ggg twice and is ttying to convience everyone that ggg was easy competition for him.
    He is an arrogant full if himself twat and has no self reflection. Probably his whole entourage are yes men and hype the **** out of him.
    + he is a proven drug cheat

    He is still an excellent fighter and atg but ggg is just better and doesn't get the recognition he deserves because they made a gigantic robbery job on him.

    The odd thing about it is there's really nothing to dislike about him. He takes on the biggest names, he fights in a fan friendly style. He's a gentleman in an out of the ring. And even the hate on ODLH. Like before Canelo become the #1 attraction in boxing we really didn't see anyone hate DLH like they claim to do now.

    I think it just has to do with being the #1 attraction in boxing, being red haired and not speaking English. Something about that combination people just can't get a grip on. Also I think a lot of the hate he gets has to do with envy too.

    Drug cheat.. Blatantly still on something
    One judge in pocket at least
    Gets any close rounds
    Talks all that a side ****

    Shame cos he's got a ****in brilliant resume and is a great fighter.. But he should have more than one loss.... Easy to hate a guy when you know the odds are stacked in his favour

    Made up belief.
    This was just disproved vs Kovalev. There was no lone rogue judge scoring it wide for him.
    This has to do with you not paying attention to the quality of his punches. It has to do with quality vs quantity. He gets close rounds because even when outlanded with jabs and ineffective shots he still clearly lands the biggest most eye catching punches in a round. You're ignoring that and it's your lack of understanding why he wins rounds because you don't pay close enough attention to the combat you aren't doing the quality clean punching calculations that you need to do to score rounds accurately.
    ???? BS reason.

    There you go. I've destroyed all your silly reasons about why people hate him. Have a nice day.

    It's mostly envy, combined with being red haired and being associated with DLH.

    Same reason people hate the yankees and the warriors. He's the a side cash cow, he has had a natural talent advantage over every opponent other than Floyd and people like to go for the underdog.

    Your talking about paying attention.. Take it you missed canelo two failed drug tests?

    Maybe he did deserve to draw with mayweather and the wide card against trout and lara and golovkin

    Who would hate a fighter for being ginger and being promoted by de la hoya... I actually find it weird you think they would be peoples reasons.

    The op asked why people night dislike him... I replied... But congrats on destroying all my silly reasons for why people may hate him small child
