I don't need excuses. You do. Monster doesn't have a DLH or Canelo resume, but in 31 fights, he's smashed pretty good competition and provided lots of excitement.

Sure you do
Same with Benny fan(s)
They hate to put their hero under the same microscope they have Nelo under.

No matter who's promoting you, you still have to perform at a certain level and maintain it.

Blanket statements suck
Ruling over a dead div sucks (albeit, not a fighters fault. Just not at all brag worthy !)

"FULTON !!!!!!"
Zzzzzz

Inoue has a much better resume than Canelo.

I don't agree. No one on Monster's resume matches Floyd, Canelo, Lara or Cotto.

Bitter Canelo fan, huh? How much money did you lose when Bud waxed him? How do those Ramen Noodles taste?

I totally see the connection between my comment and your nonsensical reply

Canelo lost to Floyd and Nonito Donaire is a better fighter than Lara or Cotto.

Canelo was very young. He would have gotten washed at any age, but stop acting like Floyd wasn't the best boxer of his generation. Not many fans would rank Donaire above Lara or Cotto.

Your meds are ready. The pharmacy just called.

Literally everyone but you would put Donaire far ahead of Lara. No comparison.

i would rank donaire well above lara and a bit above cotto. i think people forget how good donaire was at 118 and below. he was still a top level guy at 122 and kind of at 126 but until the inoue fight i believe he was 7-0 with 7 ko's against top 10 opponents.

at 112 he knocked out mthalane who became #1 and darchinyan #3 who became #1 later.

then at 118 he knocked out the #1 guy montiel, the #3 guy sidorenko, another #3 guy burnett, and the #2 guy oubali before losing to inoue twice.

above 118 donaire was 5-4 with 1 ko. he still had great wins at 122 over #1 nishioka and #3 matheluba(should have been higher since he was robbed vs caballero) and at 126 #5 vetyeka(should have been higher since he had just beaten top ranked chris john)

overall donaire accumulated 12 top 10 wins across 5 divisions with 4 of them being #1 guys and 8 top 3 wins.


lara in comparison has 3 top 10 wins total: #2 trout, #3 vanes(first fight was a clear win) and #7 angulo. then he has a bunch of very close fights with canelo, hurd, castano but i think those are all fair-ish decisions. no wins over #1 guys and 2 top 3 wins.


cotto has 12 top 10 wins across 3 divisions but only 2 over #1 guys: mosley became #1 after losing to cotto and sergio at 160 but he was clearly crippled...if you want to count that. 2 wins over #1 guys and 3 wins over top 3 guys(malignaggi)
