I agree with the description you provide, but of course not every fight is that clear. I don't remember the fight well enough to agree if Canelo literally landed every meaningful punch. But for the sake of argument, let's say he did. Let's further assume Alvarez landed ten "meaningful" punches, while Lara landed fifty lesser, scoring punches. Which is greater? That's where judging comes in. I'm not saying the punches were that disparate -- it's just an example -- but I did think Lara's number of landed punches outweighed Canelo's more "meaningful" punches. Just my opinion.
Erislandy Lara blows

oh dear, you've opened up a can of worms here. Lara is the golden boy in this forum, see you've got some angry responses, expect many more. According to nsb, lara is the most underrated fighter ever. The guy who would beat everyone, theres never been such a master boxer in the sport as there is erislandy lara. Him drawing to Molina, martisoryan, getting dropped by alfredo angulo twice, losing to the same guy 4 times in one year in the amateurs (Lorenzo aragon), means nothing in there eyes, they were all fluke performances. And GGG has nightmares thinking about lara and wouldn't land a glove on him, although they are both amateur world champs, GGG is just a basic plodder and not a patch on laraComment

When GGG says that Kell Brook was his biggest test, what does it say about Lara? Believe me, GGG wants nothing to do with Lara. He can make all the excuses he wants but he'd rather fight local no pedigree bums at middleweight.oh dear, you've opened up a can of worms here.

Angulo even managed to knock him down twice lol, although wouldn't be shocked if you all start saying angulos got more power than GGG and better at cutting the ring offComment

I'd be happy with 115 either way. Lara stood inactive for sometime during the fight.
But when you get 117, or a draw against Floyd, and some ridiculous 119 against Cotto it smells.Comment
