Lara has more reach, more power and better foot movement and decent hand speed himself. Floyd does have the better defence obviously but I do think he would struggle with Lara. I don't think Floyd has enough pop to bother Lara if Canelo couldn't even get a knock down, Floyd won't slow Lara down via body shots like Canelo did as he doesn't possess the power to do so. Please don't compare their fights against Canelo as Canelo didn't do jack against Floyd, against Lara Canelo actually used the dictionary to see what the word pressure meant and applied it. Thoughts?
PS: I wouldn't have minded if either guy won by 1 or 2 rounds last night as it was a close fight.
No. Lara threw probably less than 15 hooks that whole fight.
Erislandy is a good one-dimensional fighter. Floyd is good at always making fighters take the lead or the defensive whenever he wants which will ultimately take Lara out of his game and lose him the fight.
:sad:Mayweather is in a totally different class from Lara and Canelo
Based on last night...Neither deserve to be in the ring with Mayweather, fight Carlos Molina or Demetrius Andrade next! I have doubts Lara and Canelo can beat either of them based on last night.
good post..floyd would take away lara's straight left ( his only punch). lara showed nothing last night and he would be on his bike for 12 rounds against floyd because that is how he fights..
I would give Lara a decent shot. The reason Floyd wanted no part of Paul Williams was because of that length. Lara could stay on the outside all night and Floyd doesn't have the power to throw off his timing like we saw last night.
He could keep Floyd at a distance. Guys like Paul Williams, Lara, Trout, and even Khan to a certain extend present style issues for Floyd with their length and footspeed.

Styles make fights, so you can't rule out Lara against Mayweather.
Actually last night's Canelo would have fared better against Mayweather. He was pressuring from the start and seemed more willing to take shots to land them.

Really? I like Alvarez v Andrade but you'd have to favour Canelo.
I dont know about comfortably. But yes i think he has the skill to win. However this fight will never happen.
But i certainly feel he could earn another robbery. if it ever did happen.

No, I don't think so.
His activity level is just not enough, and Mayweather doesn't exactly have the highest output rate either.
I always thought that Austin Trout would have been the toughest fight at 154 for Mayweather.
I thought Trout would have been a tough fight for Floyd as well.
As for Lara, depends if he tried to fight but Mayweathers timing and IQ would be to much I think for Lara to over come.
i actually thought lara would have a chance before this fight lol.but if you cant routinely hit a guy like canelo,i really cant see how he would have much chance against floyd

Difference is Canelo was weak zombie who was weight drained against Floyd he was strong and was able to get aggressive with Lara so yes I think Lara would make a fool of Mayweather if a C class fighter like Madaina slap Floyd around I'm sure Lara would but Floyd will never fight him he will duck him by saying he lost to Canelo

who would run from whom in a fight between these two?
usain bolt would have to ref this fight to keep up with all the running.
lolz funny bro!
back to TS topic I dont see how lara could beat floyd, if he can not get the nod from the judges vs canelo lara will never be able to get the nod from the judges vs floyd, only way for him to that is if he can KO floyd but the wont be happening....
