    You'd pick Lara to beat the majority of 160's?:lol: Based on what? How "great" he looked against Martirosyan, Molina, Canelo or Angulo?:lol: When your most convincing and comprehensive victories are against Delvin Rodriguez, Jan Zaveck and Ishe Smith.... that's pretty ****ing sad

    GGG, Jacobs and Saunders annihilate Lara, and the reason they aren't in a hurry is because he's at 154 and they're at 160. Not sure when guys who weigh more all of a sudden got so concerned with guys who weigh less.

    And don't get me wrong, either. The 2 parts were I thought you were most critical involved the Trout and Lara bouts. I also believe these fights displayed some glaring flaws, but I also think Canelo adjusted decently enough that he still made decent showings while also showing some range of versatility.

    BlizzyBlizz in one post said he was in his late 40's and then a few weeks later called me old.:lol: How's that for schizo?

    And 48 is the new 30.:deal Or at least that's what I'll be saying when I'm 48.:D And yeah you should be offended.

    :good He closed the Lara match a lot better than he did the Trout match, and yeah he has improved in some ways, but as the first 4 rounds of the Khan match shows some of the flaws are still there, he's still go a ways to go. But he's a damn good fighter for 25.

    People say Canelo has an easier time against pressure fighters, but look at the ones he has fought, Angulo and Kirkland, for example.

    In round 6, Canelo is noticeably tired from Angulo's pressure, and of course, Canelo states that he was exhausted after the Kirkland fight.

    Imagine a high-level pressure fighter that is 10x's the fighter of Angulo and Kirkland? I don't think pressure fighters are stylistically a better fight for Canelo because of his stamina. Bad pressure fighters are good, but an elite pressure fighter?

    I don't think Canelo can get through Derevyanchenko.

    Don't forget though, the open scoring experiment ruined the Canelo-Trout match. The judges had Canelo way, way up after the first 2 announcements, and that changed the entire dynamics of that fight.

    I personally believed that was an example at the far end of one spectrum where open-scoring completely changed a fight for the worse. I can envision scenarios at the opposite extreme that are best case scenario, but I'm not sure if any such examples actually exist.

    :lol: I was actually going to go into details about that in my write up on the Trout match, but when I was fleshing it out in my head on how it affected the outcome, it was just too long and bogged the flow of an already long article down to start with. It definitely affected the outcome, it made Trout fight more aggressively and Canelo coast, that being said going into the second half I had it even as well IIRC. Who knows how the fight could have played out without the scores being known, Canelo and Trout's performances both could have been affected for the better or for the worse..
