    IB didn’t Lara miss 90% of his shots as well? Looking at fight stats Lara landed 7/8 more total punches and lost the power punching stat by a landslide, I think with a fight like his because of the super low activity it’s harder to score, but to act like Lara put on some boxing lesson or that was anything but a 50/50 fight is misguided IMO.
    Personally I had the fight 7-5 to Canelo but I’m usually open to close rounds so anywhere between 7-5 Canelo to 7-5 Lara. Looking at the fight I think early on Lara did well I actually had him up 3-1 at the quarter mark, I believe it was around this point mid fight that Canelo picked it up and won the majority of the middle rounds, with constant pressure, bodywork and activity.

    After a big counter upper cut Lara opted to spent the majority of the fight running and even boxers who scored it for Lara claimed that he ran.

    Idk with this fight I definitely it agrees it was close just because of the pace of the fight, but looking at the fight it’s really nothing there to say to say Lara won he landed 8 more punches and then what for such a supposed great boxer he landed at low 20% same as Canelo, most of his landed shots were touch jabs and not actual effective shots, and the man has never fought as negatively before or since.

    He was monster enough to beat Canelo twice, just not monster enough to get the KO. The only reason GGG got a draw and a loss to Canelo is CCC, CASH COW CORRUPTION.

    That is why MAB, EM and JMM are better than Canelo.

    Lol, I wouldn't say that either. They are all within a similar stratosphere. MAB, EM, and JMM also lost to other ATGs. Canelo also has a few more years left for career defining fights. However I do like the skills and the fights of the first 3 more. They were in more enjoyable fan friendly fights and were lucky enough to exist in an era where multiple ATGs were fighting in their divisions.

    Canelo's fights from GGG2 have been fixed imo -- at least the fights against Kovalev and Smith

    Wait some years; the truth will come out that monied interests have been carrying Canelo

    actually I did box in high school put the choice came down to boxing or music and it’s hard to tell a 15year old they can’t go to parties or have sex while training.
    How long have I watched boxing lol for years been on this site in particular since what 07/08 yeah bro... you scores sucks and are as bias as the judge who scored fight I 118-110.
    And that’s why you can’t take you guys seriously yall scores fights like fans instead of objectively looking at what’s going on

    That's it exactly.

    Golovkin won the first fight, but the second was very close and a draw would have been a fair result.

    Looks like most sensible folks have a healthy cognitive bias corridor that splits the two fights for GGG and Ginger. The Floyd fight was an excellent session for Canelo, although he was decently outclassed he has proven to take the loss and use it to catapult his meta-boxing calculator to another stratosphere. Good for him, I'm enjoying this run of dominance and we should appreciate what he's doing because it's quite rare.

    Hey Caper regarding your last paragraph ,especially wher you say " Good for him, I'm enjoying this run of dominance and we should appreciate what he's doing because it's quite rare"...I like your posting style ie nothing like iSAL & Shadow but the last sentence is at odds with your Avatar statement of "How about a fair shake" , I mean that & Canelo rarely go together....apart from that good posting points fair minded points unlike some here....:)
