    And then I realized that it's a very easy call for you to say that "Smith will be robbed by judges".
    The thing is that Canelo convienciengly outboxed Trout. You must be blind not to see that.

      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?
      Williams and Canelo both hold wins over him you ****** POS. I am really sick of your race prejudice threads.Trout didn't beat Canelo. He lost to Canelo you doubly ****** piece of ****. Fuc you, boxingDummy. Quit lying and trying to rewrite boxing history the way you think it should have been instead the way it is in the record books.Lara got robbed in his fight with Williams but officially he lost the fight. Lara put up a good fight against Canelo but Canelo got the win he deserved by chasing Lara all fight and landing the much harder punches coming forward, not running backward. Lara fought Canelo like a big chicken. Trout lost to Canelo and he admitted he lost. It was Trout getting up from the knockdown not Canelo. Lara was knocked down twice by Angulo who Canelo slaughtered. Lara was held to a draw by Molina in a fight he should have lost but you conveniently left that part of his record out. Lara is a good fighter but not nearly as good as you are trying to make him. His best official win was the Trout win. You are way to bias in favor of black boxers over white boxers for your opinion to be taken seriously.

        In Lara's case, he's missing the "how" part and there is certainly a strong case to favor Canelo in their matchup.
        His missing "how" part is to make it look 100% convincing. It's only like 80% convincing. But still enough. He could make it look a bit cooler. More wild.

          No, it was very close fight. Lara convienciengly took only some first rounds, next rounds can go to either fighter.

Judges arent impressed with his tag and run style of boxing and neither am i
            lmao hasn't even seen the williams fight but has an opinion about it. What is your opinion that it wasn't a robbery based on then exactly?

              No, he couldn't. Lara is very limited fighter with limited abilities. He knows only one style, he can't change the way he boxes.

                You say Canelo is so heavy compared to his opponents but I have never heard of him actually weighing more than 172 on fight night. I am talking about an actual weight on fight night and not a guessed at or estimated weight by Khan or some other cry baby. !72 is about what Lara and Trout weigh on fight night. If you have any proof that Canelo ever weighed more than 172 on fight night I'd like to see it.

                  The proof is how big he looks during his fights compared to the weight in.

                    Cotto beats Lara.

                    Let's not pretend that Trout loss meant anything. Cotto was a shell of himself that night due to issues with his trainer.
