Ray Mancini on Canelo: "Canelo is nothing special...Lara won."

[PeasantCrusha]

I had Lara winning a very close fight.

Watching it a 3rd time later on tonight... I had Lara winning also.

Former Fighters Opinions are just that...OPINIONS! Fans want to take their opinions and run with it.

I agree with him, Canelo is nothing special...but he is a good fighter!

The "could've went either way guys" know which way it should've really went and are throwing that out there just so they don't have to say what they truly think... It's easy to be on the fence. As far as the Canelo fans, it's to be expected.

Why would you subject yourself to that terrible fight? One time was too much for me lol. One of the worst fights I've ever seen.

I always watch fights late night before sleep. This one is great for insomnia

Lol, the tea pot calling the kettle black. How ironic.

[TheMexHurricane]

Mancini is mostly right about Canelo but Lara's bitch ass didn't win shit vs Canelo! LOL! If Lara beat Canelo by landing 10 more jabs while running for 12 rounds, then Oscar killed Trinidad By landing way more power punches, total punches, etc and then giving away only the last 3 rounds by running to play it safe. Even moreso JL Castillo vs Floyd. Whatever. Anyways, maybe "nothing special" Canelo will make it to 2 Halls of Fame like Mancini, who got in even tho he's definitely *nothing special*. Ray, look in the mirror you silly fool! LOL!

Yeah, Calling Canelo nothing special shouldn't be seen as some sort of insult towards the guy. You can count the number of active special fighters on one hand. Doesn't negate the fact he's still a very good fighter.

As far as him thinkin Canelo won so what? That's simply his opinion and he's in the minority. Doesn't mean he's wrong simply stated more people had Canelo winning the fight. The fact that it was such a close fight is expected, since both fighters are pretty equal.

[Dr Rumack]

Calling someone 'nothing special' is a bit of an insult. It's putting a deliberately negative spin on a fighter's quality.

It's not the same as saying a fighter is world class, which Canelo is.

Every single poll I've seen conducted, though all of them had Canelo slightly ahead, indicates it could have gone either way. I had Canelo winning and although I don't like Lara's style at all, even I acknowledge he could have conceivably got the win. Only people I'd question is those who think the fight was decisively won by either of the two, no offense but I'm pointing the finger at you there.
