Comments Thread For: Canelo On Facing Southpaw Saunders: I'm Way Better Now Than When I Fought Lara

[icha]

prime lara was better than bjs in his best day , ans on top of that bjs doesnt always fights at his best...

[4truth]

He is better, I don’t see how anyone can doubt that.

no small part of that though is fighting at a proper weight. Weighing in at 155 then entering the ring in the mid 170s wasn’t doing him any favors.

Just like Lara I predict BJS will be in survival mode after the first 4-5 rounds just trying not to get knocked out.
Hell be eating counters early and often.

How does anyone know if this statement is true if since the Canelo fight, Lara hasn't faced anyone.......Canelo, whether you like it or not, or, believe it or not has faced champs at every turn.

this is an example of you posting just to post because my comment clearly struck a nerve with you. You didn’t address any part of what I said and who Lara has faced since has nothing to do with canelo looking lost vs Lara and since then choosing to face mainly stationary fighters. Try making a valid point next time.

Senor Sugar & ****e is a better fighter than he was when he fought Lara- I'll give Ginger that. He's still Gonna rob any fighter who's ****** enough to step in the ring with him.

BJS is the next fool up to SELL his belt to Ginger ****e. Even Though, he's so bad I think the vertically challenged Redhead beats him straight up. I wonder who's next for Pippy Long Stockings?

Canelo's stagnated as a fighter a long time ago. He hasn't shown me anything to suggest otherwise. He's keeping his distance from the real beasts because he knows. BJS should have been the tune up for Charlo/Andrade/

How does anyone know if this statement is true if since the Lara fight 7 years ago, he hasn’t faced anyone (coincidentally I’m sure) who’s considered to have exceptional foot movement. Nearly everyone of his opponents were plodders. The only one you could argue had decent foot movement would be a 36 year old Cotto and bogus scorecard aside, canelo didn’t look all that great in that fight.

Valid point, however one thing EVERYONE can agree on is Canelos defense has massively improved, almost with every fight, I think his defensive aggressive style will play a big roll in making BJS miss a whole lot, as slick as BJ can be, i dont think hes quick as Lara or Floyd therefore Canelo will be able to see BJ attack and negate it and counter. I think with the exception of GGG who ever Canelo hit clean immediately went into survival mode for the rest of there fight. I feel BJS will do the same. Canelo aint no lemieux, or Andy lee and BJ hasnt had a good performance since that lemieux fight 3 years ago, whilst canelo has been fighting name after name and comfortably beating them, again exception of GGG.

Totally this. Canelo has improved his craft and settled at a weight which seems to play to all his strengths. From what Iˋve seen of BJS at SMW, he looks a bit heavy legged and slow. Canelo has looked razor sharp at 168 and scarily dangerous. Canelo wins this with something to spare.

You have to be joking if you think Lara was in survival mode. What happened was that he made ginger look amateurish and got comfortable. Lara is a dog, and has been in a couple of fights of the year. If you press him you would get the dog. ginger couldn't press him hard enough.

Well, Lara has fought castano and hurd back to back. Fighters in their prime. And you are right, this post is about how "good" he has became since facing Lara. Without fighting any boxer close to Lara's style since then.
