    Is Erislandy Lara past it?

    He's going up there in age and his opponents aren't great to sharpen his skills. He isn't as sharp as he once was before, no quick 1-2, quick 1-2, to actually do damage but now he stinking out the join on mediocre-wait garbage opponents. His left hand isn't as fast as it used to, it got dodged by opponents that weren't supposed to dodge them.

      I think he is past prime which isn't surprising since most boxers his age are past prime. He hasn't fought anybody very good since losing to Canelo and he ran like a rabbit in much of that fight.

            Beatable? He won 12 rounds out 12 rounds and looked beatable?

              It would be better for the sport if Hurd wins so I am rooting for him all the way.

                He don't RUN!!He boxes and don't push it for ko when he is winning now some might not like that and that's fine.But don't call in running his last fight I heard that and he hardy moved at all vs T Gausa.He just don't go for kill when he is up and again I get why some don't like that but he is NOT running.You wanna see negative fightin watch H Fury vs Parker or Froch vs Dirrell.

                  Some guys don't understand boxing because they have never done it.So if its not rock um sock um robots then its running because they cant see the craft.And people tend to put down what they cant understand.And that's the truth even though you wont get any/many to admit it.

                    I think Hurd will rough up Lara the same way Horn did to Pacquaio.
