I think you might be selling Hurd short. It's more to him than what he showed in his last 3 fights. He's not this one dimensional guy that a lot of people have him figured out to be. I will admit, of his last 3 opponents, all of them were better boxers. Lara is an exceptional boxer and Trout although past his prime still has skills. Since he was the bigger man, he chose to impose his will on all 3. I first saw him against Frank Galaraza and he fought a completely different fight against him. He will not fight Jermell Charlo like he fought Austin Trout. I have him stopping Mungia.
