    He’s never faced a real slick boxer since he got a gift v Lara, so I’d like to see him with that style but he will avoid it. Some might say Jacobs was but he’s a lot more orthodox and basic than those two when it comes to style.

    Yea. The more I thought about it the more I would like to see this fight next.

      How did you score Lara-Canelo?
      Which Rounds went to who, by YOUR score?

          any drained MF with only two and a half weeks to prepare for the fight would be my choice.

            The question is: Who do YOU want to see next?

              I’d have to watch it again to say which rounds specifically

              I know I had it close for Lara. I could see 6-6 but that would be being generous to Canelo , trying to give him rounds

              There’s no way Canelo won the majority of the rounds in that fight. It wasn’t one sided of course but he didn’t win that fight.

              Anyway that’s not the point, the point is Canelo really used to struggle with that kind of style, win or lose, so I’d be interested to see how Canelo today would fight against Saunders or Andrade or someone like that, rather than a typical orthodox opponent that fights in straight lines.

                Anyone interested in...

                Jorge Masvidal vs Canelo??!?

                Roberto Duran says he would be in Masvidal's corner, possibly.

                      There's no clear-cut next opponent... put together a bout with Jorge Masvidal between now and Cinco de Mayo, just while we're waiting for a "serious" opponent to emerge.

                      ... it's just a thought.

                      (My choice would be Andre Ward, for the record)
