    He knows it, what you meant was easy to understand, he just only doesnt give a ****. He has no arguments, and he says that stupid thing. Today's canelo would eat lara alive. And 23 yo IS GREEN. At 23 GGG was sucking his mother's breast, wtf, canelo was making lara run as in a marathon. Lara was 31, btw.

    Having said that, I agree that lara deserves more. Lara is an incredibly talented and UNDERRATED fighter. But part of what happened to him (at least in canelo's fight) is HIS FAULT. ONLY-HIS-FAULT-AND-NOONE-ELSE'S.

    When Lara fought Canelo, he bicycled up to the top of the hill, but he couldn't make it over the hill. When he got to the steepest part of the hill, he couldn't pedal anymore so he turned around and bicycled back home.

    Lara did absolutely nothing but run for dear life form round five on. Lara lost because he stopped trying to fight, By round four the Canelo body attack was taking its toll on Lara, and Lara knew the only way he would survive the 12 rounds would be to get on his bike.

    When had and has Lara ever run as much as he did against Canelo? I haven't seen it. Lara's best chance of beating Canelo was to hit and run, unfortunately that only worked in four rounds.

    Against Trout, that was a bit closer because Trout kept busy, but Canelo landed the harder punches all night, scored a KD, and threw and landed more power punches.

    One of the reasons Lara was on his bike so much against Canelo was because he was worried about getting knocked down like Trout. In the early rounds Lara felt the power and knew he would get hurt if he stood in front of Canelo. So he biked and biked all around the ring putting out a light-range seeking jab until the final bell rang. He hardly even threw many straights he was so terrified of becoming Bambi on Ice.

    Trout beat Clen the Hen like a red-headed stepchild and took Jermallo to slick school and then he opened a can of serious ass whoop on the other twin even though he was shot to bits by then.

    Vanes beat Jermello too but the judges robbed him.

    Lara took Clen The Hen and Paul Willy to slick school but the judges skipped class. Truth be told, Clen's and Charlo's judges have stolen more food from fighters children's plates than Portly Dan consumes in a decade.

    ROFLMAO Youre just a fan boy Canelo needed Oscar, Bob Bennett & the NSAC & Vegas boxing officials in his corner to get what success he's had. Without them he'd have had several losses & just another diva

    I believe that Canelo beat Lara fair and square.

    Canelo was challenged but ended up pressing, controlling the fight and landing the harder shots.

    The way Lara moved around in the ring after the disrespect and the beat down he promised Canelo, did not work in his favor too.

    I'm pretty sure that Canelo's punishment to the body forced the "excessive movement" by Lara, Canelo was just too powerful to face head on.

    Canelo pressed forward and there was just no way for Lara to stop that boxing-machine from coming forward and breaking his body down. I wouldn't be surprised if Lara fought on with fractioned ribs.

    Lara fought with "excessive movement" and the Jab, pot-shot tactic at multiple moments in the rounds. Lara looked good doing so but I believe no way enough to win.

    I believe that his resume is overrated and crooked, Canelo is a great fighter tough, He doesn't even need the clen, the cherry picking, the weight draining and duck tactics.
