Canelo is still a really good fighter. Really, really good. He beat Trout, who had just beaten Miguel Cotto.
Lara is not as proven as Austin Trout. Have Lara beat Cotto and then we'll see.
lara has fought almost all the top guys at 154.....he's proven...
They are both very good talented fighters. The main difference I see is Canelo is much gamer and tougher. Canelo seems to have a much greater will to win and tries so much harder to win. Lara can be lazy and not let his hands go often enough. Canelo also seems to punch harder and take a punch better than Lara. I think Canelo beats him either on points or by KO. Lara is a good boxer but I don't think his boxing skills or ring smarts are even close to what Mayweather showed me on September 14th 2013.
You think Saul would have fought on with the haematoma that Williams gave to Lara?
Lara is tough as nails and a great boxer this would be a bad first fight back for Alvarez he needs a confidence builder against some one who's gonna want to bang with him and let him land shots. So he doesn't have the same sinking feeling he will no doubt have got every time he threw at Mayweather and missed some one like Cotto or Molina who would get him a belt right away
A 23 year old fighter was exposed by one of the greatest fighters in history? No, the word you are looking for is out classed.

The Blue Print has been drawn, Lara has a descent set of skills and can somewhat duplicate a bit of Mayweather stuff..............but I think Lara would fight scared and run all night long. But in the end Lara wins by sticking and moving....Canelo has been exposed badly.

i dont see why you guys are so crazy about choosing lara over canelo in a match, if a wwashed up angulo was able to drop him twice in last fight, what makes u think a young, bigger and better boxer canelo will do?. lara isnt mayweather....
He got dropped twice true but it was how he RESPONDED after he got dropped. If southpaw austin trout gave canelo a tough close fight what do you think a faster,skilled,harder punching lefty and overall better boxer lara will do?
I'm willing to put big money on Lara (at plus odds), so long as the fight is not in Texas or Mexico.
Canelo has heavy feet. That's not something you can just work on. Lara dodges the big stuff and outworks Canelo while using lateral movement. Lara's camp has been asking for this fight for years. I have a feeling the fight doesn't get made until Canelo gets another big PPV vs Cotto.

When Floyd vacates the 154 WBC. maybe these 2 can fight for the vcant title..who takes it?
Lara would win but Canelo's camp will never let this fight happen.
whoever says "Well Angulo dropped Lara twice, I'm pretty sure Canelo would stop Lara" is wrong. When have you ever seen Canelo fight the style that Angulo fought Lara at that pace. Canelo will be too worried about conserving his stamina and not gassing.
If this fight ever happens, I will be betting lots of money on Lara.
Lara schools the flat-footed Canelo silly, maybe a late stoppage win.
Hes several cuts above Canelo.
I pretty much agree, I'd favor Lara, even though I'm not sure it'd be a schooling.
As a side note, when speaking about robberies most people will come up with Pac vs Bradley or Matthysse vs Alexander/Judah, Lara is rarely mentioned.
What is your opinion about Lara vs Williams and Martirosyan?
On the other hand, if I recall Carlos Molina deserved to get the nod against Lara.
Canelo kills Lara. Wtf has Lara done? Nothing! Wtf makes him so special ?
WTF has Canelo done more like but get a disputed decision over a poor mans Lara in Austin ''I pull my punches'' Trout and get used as Floyds punchbag?
I give Lara the edge in this match-up. I would love to see it. The comment about Landy having a weak chin is simply wrong. He's gone down in only one pro fight, against Angulo. I seem to recall Lara making "Perro" quit.
The good news for Canelo is that he "hopefully" gained some valuable experience from his fight with Floyd and will now realize what some of us were saying that he needs to change/fix.

Boy, canelo is a hyped job created to take money from ppl like you, Lara is a World amateur Champion and have a better resume than ginger with half of fights, we all knew he could not touch Fraud, JWW lopez, Gomez, Hatton, cotto and old men baldomir and mosley with feather fisted trout, in a open score contest to let him know he is ahead, will not prepare a mediocre fighter like canelo against the best boxer of his generation; Just tell me in which fight against a top 5 jmw did helook not sensational but just good?
