DLH would have won a Razzie for that portrayal of a hurt fighter

Was an ok fight

... of course it was an OK fight!... (I never like to "quote" fixed fights)...

The way I see it besides Lara, Jacobs and Golovkin, Alvarez's resume looks pretty regular.
What other wins besides those three stand out for you?

Cotto,Trout(undeafeated southpaw),May(even at 36)Smith plus the 3 you named. That's a pretty good resume. That's 5 top 15 PFP fighters(May,GGG,Cotto,Lara,Jacobs) not too many active fighters can say that. Plus some good to decent contenders like Smith,Trout,Angulo,Kirkland and even Rhodes. Not much credit for Khan, too small.

Cotto was small faded and had been beaten bad by Pac, FM and Margarito.
Trout was undefeated because he never faced good comp. Once he stepped up he lost. He"s 5-5-1 since Alvarez.
Smith was the classic "paper champ", good UK fighter, fighting mediocre comp.
Alvarez lost every round to Floyd, so how does that add to his resume?
A win is a win, so I'm not saying it's a bad resume. It's a good resume for one of the top fighters but there's some good match making there and a large portion of hype. IMO

Looks like Kovalev is ready for retirement. No way he wins if weight drained and he'd never be the same afterward.
