Is Canelo more popular than he is talented?  Alvarez Trout
Alvarez vs. Trout  saul alvarez austin trout By Dan Ambrose: It
was interesting recently to see the unproven but HIGHLY popular
red-haired Mexican fighter WBC junior middleweight champion Saul
“Canelo” Alvarez (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) trying to throw his weight
around to pressure boxing’s #1 fighter Floyd Mayweather Jr. into
fighting him in September.  It was kind of an odd thing because
Canelo, a Golden Boy Promoted fighter, has gotten used to having
things his own way due to his huge popularity among Mexican
boxing fans.  But the thing is Canelo hasn’t proven himself to
be in the same class as Mayweather or even some of the top
fighters, and it just seems like Canelo is someone that is
getting to the top of the sport more based on his popularity
with his diehard Mexican fans than on what he’s actually done in
the ring. What has Canelo done during his career?  Not much to
be honest. His best wins have come against Ryan Rhodes, Matthew
Hatton, Kermit Cintron
