He wouldn't be having problems finding someone to fight if he transitioned from Kirkland to Lara like he should have in the 1st place.

I won't argue that. I would like to have seen that, too. But if they were wanting to put it on PPV, Lara isn't really a good choice.

well when you hold a world title belt there is more expected out of you...and the fact that alvarez was pretty much handed the belt and continues to fight mediocre competition rubs people the wrong way including myself..especially considering people keep hyping him up despite the fact he hasn't really beaten anyone to deserve the type of hype he's getting.

Then I hear two things:

1. Crickets

2. James lost to Ishida

True, James lost to Ishida, but he also beat 3 guys that punch much harder than Ishida (Vera, Julio, and Angulo).

Fact is, this kid has done nothing in his career that says he'll beat Kirkland. Why, because he gave Mosley his 3rd beating in 4 fights?

The kid has potential, but until he beats someone of substance, I can't pick him over Kirkland, Lara or Dzinziruk.

he beats kirkland and lara with ease. Why? you may ask. Well it's just common knowledge. Canelo is the superior fighter.
