Canelo hangs with Floyd, Trout, Lara and you call him a bum?

[TyrantT316]

I understand he didn't KO1 Lara and Trout or beat Floyd, but if you recognize that he'll probably always have trouble with "slick" boxers, he's fought them all pretty well and kept it close. He's done well for a style that troubles him and actually fought good guys at a high level with that style.

7-5 Lara. What did Canelo do to win?

Just curious

Canelo deserves a lot of respect.

No one thought he'd even fight Trout or Lara and he fought and beat both.

[Divine Hammer]

Hahahahahahahahah he completely got dominated by floyd, barely beat trout, and I thought Lara won.

Modern day boxing fans are fikle as fuck, they are stuck in the past while ignoring the future. Canelo is a throwback who will be battling for respect his entire career. Just like at DLH he dominated 3-4 divisions and still gets nothing because he was a pretty boy faggot according to these experts.

You could hate on Canelo up until the Lopez fight (but in fairness he did try and set up fights with Paul Williams and Victor Ortiz before that) but you can't hate on the kid now.
He fought two guys people swore he would never get in the ring with and even his team told him not to fight. He fought the best in the world. Yeah he got dominated but in a few years people will chalk this up to inexperience if he keeps winning. No lose situation as he wasn't hurt, made a huge payday, and raised his stock and exposure.
Angulo was a decent fight coming off a loss. A guy that showed great power and is a dangerous puncher even in his losses. Funny how some of the people who swore Angulo would beat Canelo aren't even around here or are posting under alts.
Canelo has shown to be a guy that is willing to take on the challenges now that he has a say in his opponents.

I respect who he's fought. And he's clearly a very good boxer. But anyone with a brain can tell he's obviously protected. He basically gets shutout against Floyd, and he gets a frickin draw on one scorecard and on another he was given 4 rounds. On paper it looks like he was competitive but honestly you'd be hardpressed to find him 1 round that he won. The scores for that fight were the same for Maidana/Floyd.

Against Trout, he gets a ridiculously wide UD victory. One judge gave him 10 rounds, another gave him 9. And now he gets that one score card which gave him 9 rounds against Lara?! Honestly neither guy really had a true chance to win on the scorecards.

Canelo has fought tough fights recently and you have to respect that. At this point he is no longer protected. Lara had his chance to school and embarass him and he couldn't. Close either way but I hate the running. I was surprised Canelo took this fight and expected him to avoid Lara or similar guys. He has literally fought everyone that he has been asked to and only lost to the best guy out there.

Lara fans tears mmmm so delicious

You gave him 5 rounds and have been crying robbery for weeks. How exactly is it out of the realm of possibility that he won two more rounds? Your admitting it was a close fight and you watched the fight thinking he was going to get robbed.
