Erislandy Lara's resume

[TheBoxingXpert]

When you think about it, Erislandy Lara should really be high up on the P4P lists, if one looks past the controversies of his career. Let's examine his best wins.

1: Austin Trout
Trout is the man who conquered both Cotto and Canelo, a solid and skilled fighter with fast hands. This was a very respectable win.

2: Saul Alvarez
He's extremely heavy and punches very hard compared to his opponents. It's respectable for any guy at 154 and below to beat Canelo.

3: Paul Williams
Lara dominated Paul Williams. While Williams was no longer the same, after his two fights against Martinez, he was still a solid win who proved that he still had something left.

4: Vanes Martirosyan
Martirosyan is not a bad fighter. It was an okay win.

How would you rank Lara's best wins?

[Madison Boxing]

he is incredibly overrated on this site, should be nowhere near a P4P top 10 list

IF he won those fights he would be. The problem is he didn't. Don't forget he also went to a draw with Carlos Molina which is kinda embarrassing.

He's actually very underrated i this board mainly due to the fact that his style is not the most fan friendliest style.

Imo Lara beats most 154lbers and a lotta 169lbers as well.

He didn't win the decisions, but he certainly won the fights. Which you would know if you studied them. He was outboxing his opponents.

[MPX309]

Yes, he needs to have won the Canelo and Paul Williams fights to be higher on the P4P list. a few draws too. . . .

I can see a case for Lara beating Canelo, and being hard done by on the score cards, but that's the record now unfortunately we have to adhere by when contemplating this resume.

[Adonis Creed]

He might be lower in the 10 p4p but i'd say he's top 15-20.

yeah this. all i hear with lara is 'ifs buts and maybes' guy drew to molina and i didnt think he beat canelo either. lost to williams too although i did hear that was a robbery but i havent seen it, wouldnt be shocked if you guys are exaggerating as usual. Judges arent impressed with his tag and run style of boxing and neither am i

Look how Canelo struggled against Angulo, who Lara had just destroyed completely, lol.
