This is a meaningful fight between the #1 and the #2 at 154, and the winner will be the unofficial Junior Middleweight king (Floyd fights at 147).
Both men have a decent resume, with wins over Trout and Angulo among others.
Discuss.
Yes the winner should be around 10 at the very least. If you look at Lara's resume he has literally fought every contender at 154 out there except for Kirkland, who may be 160 now anyway.
You can argue he lost the Molina fight. A draw is acceptable. Aside from that he beat Angulo, dominated Trout, clearly beat Williams but got robbed, was clearly taking over against Vanes but the fight got stopped. If he beats Canelo that is pretty much clearing out a good division.
Canelo wins and the hype is fully back. Nothing bad about losing to Floyd.
Yes for sure. Which ever man wins a clear victory is in the top 10 pfp.
Canelo would have wins over Trout, Angulo and Lara while only losing to Floyd.
Lara would have wins over Angulo, Trout, and Canelo as well as a close fight with Molina.
That's all I'm asking for: no controversy. If we have a clear winner, then he deserves to be ranked in the Top 10 imo.
Yes. Wins against Trout and Angulo are very decent, don't forget that Lara should have won against Williams. In my opinion Lara is slightly a favorite to show better boxing in a ring, but judging may have a big impact in this fight, as it was so biased with Canelo's fights against Trout and Mayweather.
