Caneloholic
A person affected by “Caneloholism” - a chronic and progressive disorder marked by an excessive and usually compulsive desire to convince you that Saul (“Canelo”) Álvarez is either the greatest boxer of all time or better than any other boxer that you name.
(Note: a Caneloholic can usually be found on social media using a pseudonym but will sometimes use his or her real name. Common traits among Caneloholics include (1) irrational explanations for why Canelo’s failures to win the Mayweather fight or the first GGG fight either do not count or should be minimized; and (2) claims that you have a bias of some type if you do not share the Caneloholic’s beliefs about Canelo’s greatness and overall ranking in the history of the sport.

He is the worst kind of Caneloholic. He told me the Mayweather fight doesn’t count because Canelo was too young when they fought. When I named three or four fighters who one championships at the same age or younger, he said that doesn’t count because he had not heard of those fighters.

I realized that I was talking to someone who is dealing with Caneloholism when he told me Canelo’s loss to Mayweather did not count because Canelo was too young when they fought.
