Canelo is the perfect example of a carefully planned-nit-picked career.
He's an average fighter at best. Basic, limited and sloppy.
Sure he's young. But I don't see him getting any better.
He wouldn't even beat Geale, Murray or Macklin at 160 IMHO.
So what does this make Lara?
a gigantic bum.
I cant believe I thought that guy would stand a chance against Mayweather :sad:
Mayweather would of absolutely out hussled Lara and made it an easy nights work unlike Canelo did.
Either way Canelo won thats all that matters.
I agree. He is a complete hype job.Everyone knew it was going to be a tough match for the red-head. None of y'all expected him to blow him out, including myself.

Couldn't of said it better myself
He got completely outclassed by Floyd. Austin Trout isn't very good, and he barely beat him. Angulo is an old caveman. And he just looked terrible against Lara IMO.
154 is weak as hell.how can you hype Kovalev and call Canelo a hype job?? his resume sh1ts all over Kovalev's easily
Canelo could be called that a few years ago, but really has stepped up. Honestly, how can you call him a hype job after beating Trout and now Lara? His run has been exceptional and HE wanted this fight not his team.
I actually used to be a big critic of his a couple of years ago.
Don't be surprised if he goes up to MW and beat Cotto.
I will watch it again, maybe the stream was cutting out on every landed combo, but I swear every time it was fine Canelo was missing and chasing. If I change my mind hardcore on the fight after rewatching it, I will come make a thread about it and eat my crow.
You're right, no need to re-watch. Canelo missed and did alot of chasing. He did connect with some body shots but nothing vicious. If he was landing vicious body shots it would have slowed Lara down. He was moving about the same throughout the fight.
you watched the stream bro with some probably crappy sound and couldnt hear the shots echo in the arena. Those were some vicious ass body shots and some laughable punch stats. Do yourself a favor and download the fight torrent that shiet and watch it in good quality.

I didn't see vicious body shots at all, of course every fight isn't the same, but this fight and the Mayweather fight are similar in that both had a pressure fighter but posters are rewarding the opposite things, so it exposes hypocrisy and inconsistency.

"EVERY FIGHT ISNT THA SAME DOE" LOL canelo was landing vicious body shots. When's the last time you seen someone unleash body shots like that? 8-4 canelo

About the same difference between Floyds landed and Maidanas landed, but Maidana was missing them all I thought? Then when it comes to Canelo he was landing vicious body shots? :lol1: Please tell me more.

Whoa a grand total of 10 more punches landed :notworthy
He also landed 50 something less power punches :lol1:
:bottle:

Obviously he is a hype job, his most ardent fans will never admit it and point to his popularity, but popularity doesn't equal talent. His resume is also lacking, like 50 of those names are nobodies in the upper echelons of the sport. He might as well have have fought more quality opponents and only have a 20-1 record and he would possibly be more respected, but such is boxing.
No? Why lol.
I genuinely think from 147 to 154 they're fairly stacked with good talent.
Canelo will only likely move away from 154 when
A Mayweather has retired
and
B GGG is no longer in the MW division
M8 you're better than this. It was a close fight and 117-111 is a joke of a score.
Look at Canelos face after the fight, he looked like a sad kitten.
Are you being sarcastic???? Lol

Look either way there is no way you can really mean that the 154lbs division is weak!
Look at how strong the WW division is, you will find some of those big names of that division moving upto 154lbs.
Are you being sarcastic???? Lol
if golovkin beats geale thats when his resume officially starts for me. (because geale is a decent fighter. i will be watching that fight closely. i will see what golovkin can do.............
Alright, fair enough.
Let's just wait and see what happens then. IF Golovkin beats him, hopefully it's nothing but big fights to follow :boxing:
