They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery

It's a misconception that Mexiacan's are face first brawlers. Chavez sr was very slippery. I would argue that Canelo did not just pay homage to slick black fighters. Video proof below:

ok slow down homie, now i been one of the few peoples so far who has given canelo his props. fact is, canelo has a slick black style. his ring generalship has to do with his individual talent. if you ask canelo who is favorite fightre is, he says muhammadi ali... not julio caesar chavez....

saul = white chocolate

he is the eminem of boxing, but the rap game is still dominated by N1ggas

 

canelo was not the first mexican to look "too slick and too black"

way to go for saul to follow chavez foot steps to be a mexican to adopt the american black style

 

Canelo's fighting style is as unique as his genetic mixture; there is nothing about him reminiscent of any black fighters. He has a stocky body and sets up his punches aggressively and like no one else.

To say that he has a 'slick black' style just because he was able to dodge combos is silly. He was mainly using head movement not the shoulder roll and he was dodging the combos of precisely a supposed 'sick black' fighter.

And the game aint dominated by n1ggas, I suggest you stop living in the past. If you havent noticed Latinos and Eastern Europeans are taking over.

 

The top 2 best fighters in the world are black, fyi.. Latinos and Eastern Europeans "taking over" is just as ridiculous as saying blacks are running the sport.
