    No wonder GGG was robbed in the first fight vs Canelo. Look at who scored the fight for Canelo, the only judge.

    Say no more.

    Nah, if anything Lara is overrated. He got whooped by Carlos Molina and was clearly gifted a draw

    I made a similar thread back in 2021, during Canelomania. Many at the time didn't mind - or supported - the assertion that Canelo was the best Mexican fighter of all time.

    Many now have him around 10-15.

    My contention had always been - I think, to put it most fairly/avoid 'robbery' drivel - that he's had about five or so draws in his career, whilst clearly losing to his best competition. Canelo was a great campaigner with a good record. He was never a great talent, not if we're to use the term in its undiluted form.

    B plus? Come on, dude. That's outrageous. Just cause you are not a top ATG does not make you just B plus.

    That’s a decent score..

    Even if he’s had questionable losses..

    He’s a good boxer that has fought beyond his weight class.
