  • The most underrated fighter of this generation

    has to be Erislandy Lara

    He fought everyone that would fight him, mostly when they was undefeated or red hot at the time. Called out all the boogeymen.
    For me he still hasn't been conclusively beaten. I thought Hurd edged it by 1` with the late knockdown but you could easily make a case for Lara.

    I'm sure he's made a lot of money and has a great life for it but it has still done him dirty. If he gets those or a few of those decisions this guys up there on the p4p lists and up there with the greats and the whole landscape is changed.

    Williams was a terrible robbery, one of the worst I've seen and for me he clearly beat Canelo. I didn't agree with the draw vs Castano either and he's even edging Father Time on my scorecard.

    He's 42 in a few months and still going strong. Sure he's had a few soft touches lately but to be still competing let alone at that level at his age, huge respect.

    I thought Lara really got robbed in the Paul Williams fight. With Canelo he threw the fight away by running but it was close so no robbery there. Castano out-hustled him and I was fine with the draw. Still it shows that Lara can compete with top contenders and has the style to beat them. Too bad we didn't get more fights but his style is boring to the paying public. He has two entertaining fights, one with Hurd and the other against Angel that they made him fight. Now he is on a KO streak because his level of opposition is not great.
