    Worst thread I've seen all night. No one in the world thought Canelo beat Mayweather. Tonight's fight is controversial.

    Floyd made Canelo look like a father teaching his son how to box for the ever first time. Father and son time. But with that being said I thought Canelo fought well tonight and he didn't even look tired in the later rounds.

    It's a great poll because it will show who is the true boxing fans and who aren't. Canelo vs Floyd was pretty much a draw, with the exception of round 7 where Floyd dominated that single round.

    Canelo vs Lara was a clearly more dominant fight, Canelo clearly won more rounds decisively than Floyd did vs Canelo. That is a fact JACK!

    You can't compare because Canelo was drained beyond belief when he faced Mayweather.

    Canelo-Lara wasn't a dominant fight.

    That's definitely a valid point, but even without mentioning that huge factor, it is still an interesting poll. See how many people just automatically clicked on Floyd - Canelo without thinking about it?

    That excuse again? Canelo didn't look like he belonged in the same round with Mayweather, the skill was to much for Canelo. Weight wasn't going to make a difference in that fight.

    Which fight was closer in your opinion? Which fighter (Floyd vs Canelo or Canelo vs Lara) won more rounds decisively?

    The weight draining was a huge factor, it was Mayweather who injected the excuse into the bout, just like he did with the gloves vs Maidana. But we know Floyd uses Money to stack the deck in his favor, that's why Canelo is P4P #1!!!

    I agree with the score of 117 - 111 for Alvarez. All Lara did was run around the ring, did not throw many punches at all. Alvarez landed a nice uppercut that cut Lara, he hurt Lara with body shots. Alvarez came to fight and he did. Lara ran like hell as he did not bother to fight. I guess Lara thought this was track & field............

    Canelo weighted 15 pounds bigger than Mayweather in that fight so he was the one with the weight advantage. And Mayweather had the skills advantage. And the reason why he schooled Canelo. Please stop it

    That is the exact excuse that Floyd used to gain the catchweight. How much you gain weight after making weight at the weigh-in has nothing to do with weight classes. Floyd was the Jr Middleweight (154) champion and he refused to fight the guy at the weight class. Floyd was the one who bitched about how Canelo would weigh 15-20 lbs more. It's not like that 15 lbs was pure muscle, it's just food and water!!

    Anyone who knows anything about boxing knows cutting 2 extra lbs from your normal fighting weight is hard to do. Draining yourself to make a catchweight is much harder than having to fight a guy who gained 15-20 lbs after the weigh-in. Anyone is free to weigh as much as they want after they make the weigh-in. It is only Floyd who was scared of Canelo he injected MONEY and CATCHweights into a prize fight that was supposed to be a Jr Middleweight / Super Welterweight Unification.

    Lara v.s. Canelo was a lot closer when compared with Floyd v.s. Canelo.
