i'd be suprised if he fought Lara, too much risk. Canelo probably fight Cotto next year, no way GBP does anything to wreck that pot of gold. Cotto will be the 1st real opponent of his career, bet.

Good tough fight. Could go either way.

Lara's good but he's not a monster like some hype him up to be. Ask Molina.

[Russian Crushin]

Big reason why this fight wont happen

i just dont think lara is all they say,to me if u looked bad against molina u arent that good,hes ok but not what people make him out to be,plus he has no fans,canelo has a huge following and it will just be getting bigger,this guy is on his way to being a ppv star while lara stays at espn/telefutura with about 800 fans in attendance

Well why don't you start by telling me who has actually looked good against Molina. Then maybe we'll take the crap your spouting seriously.

Bj Flores knows whats up. If Lara couldnt handle Molina's pressure there's no way in hell he can handle Canelo's.

I really don't understand why this fight isn't already signed. Even if Canelo doesn't win this fight, I doubt it would derail his stardom.

The respect he would get from taking the fight, and if he loses, would still have him as a marketable fighter.

I don't understand this obsession with the 0 in the loss column.

Yeah I agree that Lara is the favorite and should win this fight; but if Canelo dares to be great, this can be a coming out party for him.

Make it happen already!

ito me if u looked bad against molina u arent that good

So everyone who ever fought Molina isn't that good??????!!! You need to rethink before you post and look at the names who have not looked good against him. They include champions, former champs, and top contenders. That was not a very bright statement you made.

He handled the Punisher's pretty well.
