    How Many Canelo Wins Have Been Gifts/Robberies?

    Lara (many, if not most, people thought Lara won)
    Trout (some had it a draw, some for Canelo, some Trout)
    Cotto (TV Azteca and Chavez Sr had Cotto winning easily - TV Azteca scored it 117-111 to Cotto)
    Any others?

    Which means, should Canelo really have 4 losses, including the Mayweather fight which he admittedly fought when he was green, weight-drained at a punitive, debilitating, performance-corroding catchweight?

    How many of Canelo's fights do you think should really be losses?

    There are no robberies.

    There's one 50/50 with Lara, that's it.

    He clearly beat Trout and Cotto and ringside media had him winning both (30% scored for Trout, less than that scored for Cotto) - so stop with the 'most believe' nonsense, they didn't.

      All of those fights should have been losses. I thought he lost clearly to Mayweather and Cotto. Lara and Trout, while more competitive, should have been losses, as well.

      Nevertheless, even with four losses, Canelo is still an elite fighter. And, he's going to be hard to beat, officially, by anyone. Even Mayweather received a draw from one of the judges, back then, and that fight was the biggest wipe-out of them all.

      As long as he doesn't get knocked out, Canelo looks certain to hang around for a long time.

        No robberies. The decision could have easily gone the other way in the Trout and Lara fights. The Cotto fight was no where near as wide in his favour as the judges had it.

        So I don't think he's had any gifts but he's the fighter most likely to get them.

          So wait, now the Trout fight was close enough to be considered a robbery? In no way did Canelo get a gift against Lara.

            The Lara fight was a draw, Mayweather was obviously a clear loss, that 114:114 card was pure trash.

            Trout was a very close win because of the knockdown. Cotto was a clear win since Cotto is way smaller and ooold.

              None. Both sides fought hard! Close fights can go either way. That's what happens when you fight the best.

                There have been a good few nip and tuck fights If he wasn't say who he was as famous and profitable as he was he likely would have lost against Lara, Trout and the Cotto fight I dunno I thought he done enough but it wasn't impressive.

                  No the problem is Canelo just isn't that good, when Hagler fought the best he was laying fools out left right and center.
