    You are right that at this point Lara's resume is better. However, Golovkin is obvious underrated as he is only consider as a boxer who can punch. However, he has good defensive skills as well and boxing IQ. I am sure he would be able to cut angles right and win rounds against Lara. So these all would depend upon Lara being able to change his game plan and take the heavy punches.

    sure, he moved a lot during the canelo fight....but he also landed a lot of jabs and right crosses and beat canelo pretty convincingly. on the other hand, canelo looked slow-footed and plodding which is why he wasn't able to corner lara and land anything effective.

    ishe smith is not adama or geale or rubio who were certified pieces of feces (talk about being easilty impressed)...i thought smith beat molina and bundrage which puts him among the top 5.

    lara is simply far better than anybody else at jmw....this is why he was ducked by maravilla after the williams fight....it's why cotto will never fight him and why canelo will never give him a rematch. they know he would beat them...and they figure why put themselves in that position against a guy who isn't popular...

    Lara is definitely the best guy at 154lbs.

    Would love to see Lara vs Cotto...Lara would win in a good fight.

    You act is you don't know that this is the general opinion of the public about purist's. I don't think he should be getting hating or praise myself. I find purist's interesting, I'm glad they're in the sport, they add very important layer of depth to the game but I will not sit here and pretend they leave me at the edge of my seat anticipation. I like ****yzing how a offensive fighter would beat a defensive fighter, that's what I find entertaining about them. Sue me if I, like the majority of others, don't find them directly entertaining. Offensive fighters get the bigger paychecks quicker for a reason.

    I dont mind him but people overrate his skills. He is not an elite boxer... his boxing ability is so overrated that i have laughed during his fights that people place him in that top tier of skills with the likes of ward rigo and mayweather.

    A perfect comparison would be the canelo fights... all his fans were complaining that when mayweather does it its called boxing when lara does it its called running.

    If im wrong please correct me im going off the top of my head here but im pretty sure vs canelo mayweather was hit less than lara while landing more power punches than lara... THAT is boxing.

    So basically, to me hes a guy where his fans and him talk him up quite a bit but i just dont see the substance.

    That being said i dont really mind him and i think hes a solid fighter. Definitely one of the best at his weight but i think 154 is weak right now.

    :deal

    good to know there's still some knowledgeable fight fans out there...lara is the real jmw champ....i suspect all this hate is because they know he beat canelo and they're looking for reasons on discredit him.

    first of all, lara beat canelo....lara has beaten everybody he has faced regardless of what the record books show...that includes canelo and williams. he also beat angulo, trout and now smith....all dominant wins.

    secondly,, lara IS an elite boxier....is he on the same level as floyd and rigo? no...but who is? i ranked him #4 behind ward. lara is still learning, still getting experience...the canelo fight was his biggest test and he was a little overly cautious but he still won. i see him gaining confidence that will allow him to beat cotto, canelo in a rematch, ggg or whomever else he faces in the next couple of years.

    Apparently without a hint of irony, after starting a thread praising "scientific boxers" and "master practitioners". Incredible.
