Who was the better fighter?

[Robbie Barrett]

Lara or Martin Murray.

kafkod is claiming Lara wasn't any better than Murray.

[_Rexy_]

I sincerely doubt that Kafkod is making that claim

Lara beat Canelo anyways, so its a dumb argument.

Oh really? You underestimate how dumb he gets when talking about Golovkin.

Lara was never anything special and Cotto was a faded SLW/WW. Neither of them were any better than prime Murray when they fought Canelo.

I stand corrected. My apologies

I was making that claim.

But I forgot that Lara is Cuban and Murray magically transformed from a highly rated contender who would have been undefeated, unified MW champion if he hadn't been robbed on the road against Sturm and Martinez, into a bum, as soon as he signed to fight GGG.

Sorry, my bad.

Nelo beat Lara, really.

What does being Cuban have to do with anything?

[Thuglife Nelo]

Nelo beat Lara, really.

I've seen far too many fights were the more skilled fighter can evade a barrage of attempted body shots each round. For example Canelo vs GGG 1. Babe Ruth would cringe in his grave for all the homerun strikes attempted.

But then there's Canelo who was still able to catch Lara and progressed the second way of the fight.

Canelo showed how to adapt the second half and attack a slick mover. Pot shotting and evading looked impressive more for Lara in the first half, but Canelo rebounded because thats what pimps do. And judges like pimps!

I thought Canelo won. He chased him all fight and landed the better punches.

He beat Martinez but got robbed in Argentina. Funny how top contenders turned into bums by some after GGG knocked them out. Nobody else ever knocked Murray down to this day.
