One loss for Lara wasn’t even close!!! That was a tru robbery and not even close.

I had Maidana beating Floyd in the 1st fight. And go back and watch the scorecards being read. Floyd looked nervous as *** and didn’t seem sure at all of a decision.

I also felt Oscar and Jose beat Floyd. But close enough I can’t complain.

Everyone knows I had GGG/Canelo 1-1

Out of Floyd and Lara. Lara should be the one undefeated. He had the Hurd fight easily won but decided to give the fans what they wanted. Williams BS loss. If he just threw more he had Canelo beat pretty easy...

agreed with Lara, ironically, the fight he may have lost most convincingly wound up to be a win vs Molina. Either way, he does have an argument for deserving to be undefeated. Similar to Whitakers career up until the end when he finally lost convincingly to Trinidad.

Words like hesitant, too much respect, conservatively, are never words I would use saying someone was "robbed" by judges???

Draw was fair or 7-5 GGG in 1st fight.
7-5 Canelo 2nd fight is fair


Those CRAZY 10-2, 11-1, or 9-3 cards for GGG are straight BSht!!!

"I thought GGG won but I’m on record to say I didn’t like his performance. I thought he was too hesitant and he showed Canelo too much respect. When you are advertised as a Horror Movie and you get to your Super Fight and you aren’t as scary as advertised"


Good stuff as always and here is another good boxing mind on GGG.


"Golovkin has fought the wrong way in BOTH fights against Canelo, and doesn’t seem to be able to grasp what he needs to do for him to beat the Mexican star. It’s clear how Golovkin needs to fight Canelo, but he doesn’t seem to have the engine or the willingness to endure the pain of fighting the right way."

"To beat Canelo, Golovkin must fight the way Marvin Hagler used to. That means attack nonstop. What we’ve been seeing from Golovkin is him staying on the outside, throwing jabs instead of going after Canelo the way someone like Hagler would have done. Hagler would have been relentless against Canelo and made him work hard every second. Golovkin hasn’t done that. He’s fought conservatively, and not surprisingly, he’s failed to beat Canelo." - Sergio Mora

GREAT advice!!!

The question about how official scorecards in close fights/robberies can change the entire perception of a fighter is interesting. Had mayweather lost to castillo & maidana in the first fights, would he be viewed differently than he is, even if he won the rematches clean? How would Marquez look historically in comparison to pac had he gotten 3 or 4 wins against him instead of being 1-2-1 against him? How would Canelo be perceived at this moment had he lost a decision to Lara and twice to ggg? And on the contrary, how would Lara and ggg be perceived had those scores went their way? And in the case of Lara, he had a couple of other close ones go against him as well.
