Canelo didnt get crumpled into the ropes by Floyd. Floyd never hurt Canelo. Canelo just had no idea what to do. GGG had Stevens in the fetal position.
And I am not saying Lara is some ATG fighter. What I am saying is that Lara's skill set resembles Floyd and one that gives Canelo problems. A fighter who can keep you off, fight at distance, and slip punches is a weakness for Canelo right now. Now Lara makes plenty of mistakes and Canelo is a good puncher, so I think there is a lot to be optimistic in this matchup for Canelo.

Like I said I wouldn't kill Canelo if he didn't take this fight. He is still growing and learning. Saying Kirkland would have beat him earlier on his career doesn't prove shyt because a lot of pro boxing is experience. Tapia looked promising, but I never would have thrown him in with Kirkland for his first test. It isnt ducking when you are building a guy up with experience and pass on fights. Canelo feels he is that guy now, so he is taking all comers.

Regarding Canelo at this weight, he should stay. MW sucks at Showtime. Quillin is their only top tiered fighter right now.
At JMW, they could have Kirkland, Cotto if he wins, Molina, the Charlo bros...he still has plenty of excellent options.

I am no Canelo fan...but at the same time....Lara is legit. None of these guys are kingpins. There are very few true championship caliber fighters out there, the rest are just hype jobs. If Canelo beats Lara without controversy...I will have to give him props for that.

Show me where I inflated a Canelo W I'll wait:stopitslime:

nikka you throwing shade talking bout Canelo lucky he ain't fight Kirkland... the nikka Kirkland didn't want it N kirkland has been beat by far lesser fighters

Kirkland is dangerous and had he laid hands on Canelo he couldve hurt him....but chances are if they fought....Kirkland would get the shyt beat outta him and probably a corner stoppage. Canelo aint shyt to me but he is better than most of these JMWs if that says anything.

Have no reading comprehension brehs :deadrose::dead:
You implied that he is legit, or that he have to fight Molina for his haters to be satisfied..........

I'm stating he's not quite legit, a small WW in Floyd had him curled up on the ropes multiple times in the fetal position, and this is a guy I saw look like complete shyt vs Hatton and Cotto......Bottom line is Canelo has a lot to prove, 2 okay wins vs C class fighters means shyt when he has faced 40 other bums or overmatched opponents.........


Lets not pretend that Canelo walked through a Shot Mosely who closed his eye beat him bloody and outworked him, lets not pretend the Trout fight wasnt razor thin with open scoring(if Herrera beat swift now wtf did Trout do), and lets not pretend Angulo aint have one of his best rounds(2 rounds pre stoppage)and was laughing off his shots when the fight was abruptly stopped.............


Yall still falling for smoke and mirrors

He had a shoulder injury and Canelo fanboys still use that against Kirkland, why does Canelo have to always have some type of advantage for him to consider to fight anyone, muthafukker even failed to make weight last match when Angulo was the far bigger fighter....That doesn't show championship intangibles in my book, he's only looking good because he's beating on far lesser fighters...............


Beat Angulo then calls out the dude that who Angulo just whooped, thats bytchmade shyt and I see through it, cant make 154 then move up bytch nikka.............

really....I look at Canelo, Lara, Trout, Molina, all being on the same tier. Canelo may be slightly better but I aint sure yet. I just think Lara has ability but he has looked shytty in a couple of fights. He is a legit contender but thats about as far as I will go other than saying I have to give Canelo credit because Lara's style could bother him.

yeah, failing to make weight was :scusthov: he shouldnt be employing those tactics nor should he NOT receive backlash for it. not making weight should not be condoned.

Lara is a paper champ...Lara has a L on his record which he should..problem is its to the wrong fighter...even if Lara beats Canelo..he's going to have to knock off Floyd or give Molina that gotdamn rematch in order for me to look at him as a legit champion and not a paper champ.

He aint just look like shyt he got his ass whooped and boxing lessons vs C Class fighters


Lara will never beat a Canelo, backs straight up with his hands down, and only robotically moves in one direction al the time, he's very easy to time and pretty much predictable, C Level imo, not to mention he's extremely pillow fisted, let any other suitable JMWs land those counters on WIlliams and Angulo and doesn't as much as move them
