Why can't Austin Trout fight Erislandy Lara?????

Dont know why some people are moaning about Canelo, I wanted him to step up his competition too and in Williams and Kirkland he tried to but without too much luck, people need to wait and see what happens next before jumping on him.

no ones gunna fight lara hes the new williams high risk low reward lara beats everyone at 154 EVERYONE!

Nobody wants to fight Lara, he will have to become mandatory challeger to get a title shot. Canelo won't fight him, neither will Trout, unless they have to.

na alvarez should fight trout it makes a great story because he beat up alvarez brother and its da wba belt cotto should fight winner of spinks n k-9 for the ibf and molina vs lara another story both recently had controversy in they lost and they had controversy n they first fight....

what about k9,He has a fight coming up in a couple of months. Yeah. K9 earned it. I wouldn't be opposed to that. Any unification of the titles would be a good start to Canelo's career.

I respect that 100% but Williams accident should not be a get out of jail free card for him. He still needs to look for the toughest fights in the division. Kirkland is a warrior and would create an entertaining fan friendly war but its still an easy fight for Canelo. F*ck fan friendly. If you want fan friendly watch MMA. Lara, Molina or Trout should be the opponent on 9/15. what about k9,He has a fight coming up in a couple of weeks.

because nobody cares about them.We only care who canelo fights. All eyes are on canelo:boxing:

Canelo tried to fight Williams and then Kirkland who are both in the top ten. It is not his fault these fights did not happen. I think he fights Trout on September 15th.

Same goes for Molina who's right there with both guys. Three highly skilled guys that make ugly fights with each other.

Because no network would want it. its a crazy ugly fight.

They can but they shouldn't have to. Trout and Lara beat top 10 contenders. Canelo beat Mosley. I hate the idea of Canelo pulling a Bute and sitting back and watching all the top fighters in the division eat each other up.Canelo tried to fight Williams and then Kirkland who are both in the top ten.

If Trout does not get the Canelo fight then that fight is perfect. You have two guys that say they can't get fights with the top guys so just fight each other. Simple.

They can but they shouldn't have to. Trout and Lara beat top 10 contenders. Canelo beat Mosley. I hate the idea of Canelo pulling a Bute and sitting back and watching all the top fighters in the division eat each other up. Which is exactly what's been happening for years now.

Seriously, why can't this fight happen??? Why doesn't Trout fight Lara??? They can but they shouldn't have to. Trout and Lara beat top 10 contenders. Canelo beat Mosley. I hate the idea of Canelo pulling a Bute and sitting back and watching all the top fighters in the division eat each other up.

Really Simple... Does Lara has a Mexican Independence date on HBO?? And Trout also has some family ties with Canelo, completely outclassing his Super Middleweight brother in his hometown, so by Trout's logic that will make a perfect marketing angle ;) Lara lost 2 dates after PW fight to fight on HBO and nobody including Trout accepted the challenge.

This thread has nothing to do with Alvarez. I would like to know why Trout doesn't pursure Lara?????? Lara ask for the fight, trout's ppl didn't want the figh...

Based on what? Absolutely nothing apparently.

Because he'll be knockout... Based on what?

There are a bunch of good fights to make at 154. This isn't one of them imo. It would be a snooze fest. I would way rather see someone like Rosado fight Trout over Lara or Molina. But I feel like Molina is the most deserving of a title shot.

Because he'll be knockout...
