    Can anyone recall..

    Do you guys ever recall a fight where Lara was that offensive? I don’t think I can. Even with the loss it has changed my mind, in regards to his ability to fight all 12 with a higher pace. I know he had the early KO’s of Foreman and somebody else, but he still caught them with his normal pace. They both caught significant counters and we’re khtfo.
    Also do you guys think it would have been the same fight if Lara was 5 years younger?
    Hurd vs Charlo? Who ya got and how or why?
    Let’s talk about it

      Hurd made him fight more than he wanted, so no I dob't really remember him fighting at that pace before. I'm also not convinced a younger Lara would've done better.

              Very good example! I miss Paul Williams, the punisher! I’ll never forget when they answered the Canelo curse with Paul W. Man I was so excited, then distraught when Paul had the motorcycle accident.

                  He really didn't have a choice. Lara showed once again he got some dog in him. It's not so much that he's boring. He just needs the right opponent to bring it out of him.

                    I never saw him that aggressive against a dangerous boxer like Hurd. He surprised me in a good way and made it a very exciting fight. He ran from Canelo making it a poor fight to watch. He fought a brave and skillful fight against Hurd and landed lots of bombs. I thought Hurd deserved the win but Lara made it close.
