i can assure you though that when we do get one he won't be coddled, protected, fed bums for 40 fights, kept away from dangerous opponents, and have legions of blind fans who DKSAB.
Canelo and Chavez Jr were both manufactured, but Canelo just actually had talent.

Before now though, what other Mexican fighter has been so coddled?

No one.

Well.... actually JCC Sr. did fight 40-some bums to kick off his career (a typical practice down yonder).

But after that he swept through a who's who list of fighters and actually EARNED his fame.

He did seem a bit obsessed with reaching 100 wins though..... and fought a few more tomato cans along the way. But it's hard to begrudge him that.
