, Williams has over 15 lbs fight night I didn't c PW pushing Lara around, so please feel free to elaborate on that "Lara is too small"

Yeah, plus Lara looked like he bulked up a bit for Hearns. Not to mention Hearn himself is a real middleweight.

So let me get this, he struggled with Molina, we all know, which is in the past, but now you agreed that he will beat Molina and fighting Martinez will be bad for him, then I don't see why bringing Molina's fight (I'm almost sure you agreed Lara beats Molina now) has any input on a Lara-Martinez fight, let me say this, while Martinez is a heck of an athlete, Lara is a heck of a boxer, actually Lara beat Williams easier than Martinez-PW first fight and I only can dream what a second fight with Williams will look like, I suggest that you expand your explanation because "is not gonna end up well for him" doesn't show anything, and if past fights suggest anything is that SM is losing some speed, Lara is twice the fighter Macklin and Barker put together, is he going to win, I don't know I hope he does, but what I'm sure is that he ain't taking a beating...

Ok simple, lara needs to develp a right hand hes too over reliant on the left. Martinez is a tricky opponent to catch so he wont be landing that left the way he landed on P-Will. His right hand is the reason he wont win i can see martinez catching lara with the left one more then one occasion and martinez has the power to hurt lara. He will break him down and eventually stop him.

And I think the come forward style of canelo's is made for Lara straight left, he will never c the 12 round against Lara, too much of everything, speed, power, great technician, alots of experience and he is being hit flush a couple of times and hasn't blink, the day that Canelo fights an elite fighter there goes that 0. IMO

PS. Lara is a natural 147-154, Williams has over 15 lbs fight night I didn't c PW pushing Lara around, so please feel free to elaborate on that "Lara is too small"

Canelo is 5'-9", weighs in at 154 and so does Lara. The difference is that Alvarez rehydrates up to 168 or more, I'm not sure what Lara rehydrates to but Canelo has a much wider, solid frame with a build like a bigger version of Marquez.

We'll see what Canelo is made of when he fights Mosley....even if Mosley is past his prime, he is still a high enough caliber boxer to prove whether he is a true hype job or not.

And who say Lara doesn't have a right hand? Actually he have a beautiful right jab and a very powerful hook, so far he hasn't needed just like his countryman Rigondeaux, each and every amateur in Cuba are teach the fundamentals of the sport, and the good ones learn the craft better than others... I c Martinez missing alot and getting caught with the straight left hand, what would happen I don't know but it is going to be a good scrap.

Mosley is done, finito, dead, he is being for years now and here you see how unfair and protective of some this sport is, Mosley doesn't deserve a shot at any belt much less a big payday, his last urrah was in the second round of his fight against May, still he is getting another shot, because he is SHOT and they don't want Canelo close to any of the top JMW, the kid is a prospect but a Champion? No way, I don't hate him but I don't support him because his ppl are blocking others deserving young fighters that are ready to take that Belt and fight the best, like Abril's manager say "how in hell do you know who Abril is and others fighters if what they do is recycle the same fighters" even if they lose the next "big" fight they are there again.
