This is how most honest fans (not biased for whatever reason) saw the fight.


"if canelo had lost, it would be all over...a garage sale"


"i watched the fight in MEXICO and most people thought canelo got beat."

Gurrero doesn't speak for whole of Mexico.
The poll of the fight showed that most fans are around 50/50 divided, and the ringside media were also 50/50 divided.

I had Lara by a few points but he threw the fight away by being so negative.

The typical ordinary fan doesnt know how to score a fight though. They score shots that dont hit, score ineffective aggression etc. I wouldnt take their word as proof as most of them are idiots.
 
You guys do know that Lara has also called out Thurman and Andrade. Andrade, especially, is right at Lara's weight class.

Shouldn't there be threads about these fighters ducking Lara or taking on easier challengers...*crickets chirping*

to me, fight fans in mexico are a lot different than mexican fight fans in america. people stereotype all mexican fight fans as bloodthirsty dumbasses who don't appreciate or understand the finer points of boxing. my experience with fans in mexico is that they recognize there's a science to boxing as well. for one thing you don't hear mexican fight fans claiming that every straight-ahead slugger "fights like a mexican." they're more sophisticated than that....they're aware that guys like dempsey, henry armstrong and joe louis and sonny liston have been around since the beginning of boxing...back in the daymexico had guys like miguel lora and finito lopez, guys who could actually box pretty good. another good example is jmm. so, it's not inconceivable that they could appreciate lara's skill over canelo's ineffective aggression.....

dude...scoring a fight aint rocket science. just be honest for a minute. we know canelo lost the fight. he got the decision because he's the guy "they" are pinning all their hopes on for the future. it's another case of too big to fail...too much money would disappear down the drain...too many potential fortunes lost....better (easier!) to just rob lara and preserve canelo's career for much bigger paydays down the road.

45% here had it for Canelo.
38% for Lara
rest draw.

But somehow according to you he only got the decision because he's "too big to fail".
Enough people had it for Canelo, it's not a robbery.

keep in mind there's no internet in cuba's houses and the amount of cubans fans in this forum is not the same as mexicans.
a percentage of any statistics online won't be balanced.
saying this, i don't call it a robbery,even if i saw Lara winning more rounds.

Everywhere you find a large sample of people scoring this fight opinions seemed to be split on who won, but he will ignore that and still claim it was a massive robbery.
 
Well in that case, GGG should move down to 154 and "make a name for himself" before we take his calling out of Mayweather and Canelo serious. Right?
Sure, you don't hear me saying that Floyd and Canelo are ducking GGG. They don't fight in his weight class. Now if Floyd or Canelo move up to fight Cotto for his Middleweight title, they're fair game. Until then you can't say that either one of them is ducking GGG.

Fair enough, just can't have it both ways. GGG can't complain about being willing to move to another weight for a big fight, when he won't do the same allowing a fighter to come to his weight.

GGG is working his way to being a top draw, when you're a top draw you have way more leverage on making fights against the guys you want. Also, talk is talk. You can't say a guy is ducking when some no name fighter calls them out from a different division. Floyd gets a ton of these, Ortiz just called him out in an article, maybe you guys should start a thread on how Mayweather is ducking Ortiz.

Don't throw me in the "You guys" Lol I don't think any of these fighters really duck each other to be honest. Its all about the promoters for the most part, some people are just a little tired that GGG is 33 and really has not faced anyone very noteworthy to be calling out the 2-3 biggest money names in the sport. (Cotto, Mayweather and Canelo)
 
I like Lara but can anybody watch the Angulo fight and give Lara a decent chance against GGG? Come on now, let's keep it real.

if you're gonna keep it real you can't cherrypick, though. canelo is a much better fighter than angulo and canelo is considered a good bet to beat ggg....canelo couldn't hurt or drop lara for 12 rounds and, in fact it was lara who easily outboxed canelo throughout the entire fight and easily stayed of of trouble and handled canelo's aggresson. so, the question is also, if canelo couldn't do anything with lara for 12 rounds what makes you think ggg could?

Well Golovkin has fought his way to being Cotto's mandatory, he's not just tweeting about wanting the fight like Lara.

Canelo has made it clear that he wants Cotto next, and his days at 154 are numbered, nothing wrong with Golovkin mentioning him as a possible opponent.

Everyone calls Floyd out, think about it. Worst case scenario, Floyd drains you, pot shots you and holds you tenderly for 12 rounds and you go home at least a few mil richer. Even the worst case scenario is a dream come true for most fighters. I don't expect Floyd to take the fight against Triple G, and he doesn't have to.

Lara ran for 12 rounds and still got out power-punched by Canelo, how in the hell is that easily outboxing someone? :lol:
