    This is a great point and yet another reason people should like and respect him more. Unlike Loma who got handed a title shot in his 2nd pro fight, Canelo had to work his way up the pro ranks the hard way, as a young teenager fighting grown ass men and beating them.

    You said he's "blatantly still on something". Please explain. How can you tell?

    I noticed the hate grow for him exponentially on ESB after he tested positive for clen and blamed it on a cow. Well actually the hate really started to grow after Shadow and IsaL kept defending him on every claim after he tested positive for clen claiming it was impossible he had ingested it knowingly.

    So nothing to do with him being a ginger, it’s because of Shadow and IsaL.

    Canelo was the complete opposite of that. He had to come up the hard way.

    Nice try, but did you forget the aftermath of Canelo GGG 1 when most of this board tried to argue that GGG won and that he was robbed? You can even go back farther, when he vacated the WBC Title because people wanted him to fight GGG. He got a lot of hate for that too. Both of these events were before he tested positive for clenbuterol.

    David Lemieux also has that title in the Canadian-born Armenian fighters category.

    Blatantly still on something? LMAO. Come back to Earth from Hatersville bro. The lack of oxygen there is not good for your brain cells.

    LOL, how is having one judge score the fight a bit wie for him his fault? Last I checked you need a minimum of two judges to win a fight either way. You're grasping at straws here.

    Golovkin, Kovalev both got many close rounds scored for them. That's a fact.

    I think you should have just typed, "Because I'm a hater".

    You can't even acknowledge a point directly. 50 pro fights by the time he was 25 years old and somehow he hasn't paid his dues in your mind? Please explain

    You are 100% dismissing you had anything to do with it then??

    Were you not a member that argued he beat GGG cleanly in that first fight? Is that why you decided to go back farther? LoL

    I’m not hating on you, just saying you helped cause a portion of the hate from your powerfully one sided long winded defences of him on all counts. Be proud of it Shadow. I enjoy it.

    Funny, because I have always maintained that I don't know for certain whether he blatantly used clen or not. I just decided to give him the same benefit of the doubt I have afforded other fighters, especially when you consider the lengths he went through to clear his name.

    Also, Canelo has been always hated on this board, especially when the GGG rivalry took its roots.

    You pay dues by beating contenders, not just having a bunch of fights, MOST of which was essentially his am career, facing scrubs. It's quality over quantity.
