    Clearly beat Paul Williams. Robbery.
    Pretty clearly beat Canelo. Robbery.
    Fought the weight bully Hurd who looked like he was 200 lbs in the ring and using diuretics to shrink himself.

    Lara is undefeated. Great fighter. Underappreciated.

    did you watch the paul williams fight?
    Roy jones said they should stop it to protect paul williams health. Laura really won that fight
    I gave him the nod agaisnt canelo
    Box rec is really good because it shows who a guy fought but we cant go completely off that because it only records wins and losses
    Laura beat paul williams
    I personally was ok with it because i placed bets on williams

    Was robbed blind against Williams and Canelo, thought he edged Castano but could've gone either way, but he lost to Hurd and Molina both close but clear.

    If he had Canelo like judges in his favor, he probably would have been 35-0 or at least 31-0-4 right now. But that counts for more fighters out there.
    A couple of the draws were clearly legit, and some of his losses should have been wins or draws.
    Boxing is unfair.

    Arguably yeah. He's been in a bunch of close fights though, sometimes got the benefit, sometimes didn't.

    He's never had the benefit of the doubt. All the close fights he's had he's either lost or drawn.

    How did you score the Castano fight? You don't think Lara got a benefit of doubt there?

    Or the Molina fight, you don't think Lara got the benefit of the doubt there?

    No one in the history of the sport, has watched the Williams v Lara fight and scored it for Williams. You included.

    I agree with those robberies. He clearly beat Canelo as well. Clen was eating straights all night and best shots were to Laras arms, elbows and the air. Can't believe people thought Canelo won that fight.

    Lara lost against Castano but to be fair he was 36 at this point so that can be forgiven

    No he didn't. And he may have lacked courage but he was snapping Canelo's head back with jabs and straight lefts all night. Canelo could barely land at all to Laras head and best shots were to Laras arms and elbows.

    I don't know what to say if you think he lost to Williams
