Why is Lara getting all this hype?

[BoxingGenius27]

Coming from a guy that for a month argued Kirkland had a granite chin? You got laughed out of your own thread

Wow, this is better. Actually it sounds like what's happening to you in this thread. I've seen several smiley emoticons at your responses. Let's add this one to the group

Anyway, I thought you would show your normal "Kirkland-Ishida" gif instead.

You have to find better material.

Look at it this way. If Kirkland was so chinny, then why did Canelo avoid his mandatory in Kirkland after the WBC made the Kirk-Angulo bout the title eliminator?

Why not fight the chinny Kirkland instead of Mosley?

Like I said, go back to your new found profession of trolling.

Not only went 12 with him, but tagged him quite a bit. If Hatton had the power to mess your hair up, it would have been a lot better fight.

i dont agree

if he had opened up (actually pulled his gloves away from being glued to his face and his elbows from being glued to his ribs) he would have gotten stopped

that's why brook appeared to do better than canelo did against magic matt

hatton opened up against brook and brook was fast enough tot ake advantage

canelo just beat on his guard all night and had him bending over like he was frightened

Does anyone think that Cotto is the only fighter worth Canelo's time? Many think he's not ready for Floyd, but there are people who think the likes of Trout/Lara/Vanes/Kirkland aren't worth the risk or the energy. Cotto presents the best risk:reward ratio out of everyone in that division imho. Should Canelo just wait til December, or should he fight a contender and run the risk of losing or looking bad?

[Bushbaby]

Name one fight in the division that would bring big money! It's I'll wait... He went after Kirkland and Kirk bit ched out! How
Is that ducking the whole division?

Is it, or is it not a fact that golden boy tried to force Kirkland to fight injured??

[Beater_of_ass]

Nope, Martinez has earned & deserves his 1st ppv appearance, ginger has earned nothing, get that.

If he's earned it, tell me how, I'll wait.

He has a fanbase, boxing isn't fair just like life. If you have no fanbase and/or a promoter who does their job terribly then you have to "earn" your way. If you are Chavez/Canelo or with a promoter who knows how to build a fighter you have the easier road. Deal with it, it's as simple as that. Not to mention there are about 100 million Mexicans and 10 million Cubans most of which live in a country without access to HBO or anyway of getting those fights. Lara also only has 18 pro fights, sure he had a great amateur career but the only way you make fans is by going pro. Cubans and a lot of fighters need to learn how to market themselves, I hate Broner but at least he'll be known as a wannabe Mayweather. At least he'll be known, that's what counts fighting 30+ times before you even start to make yourself a blip on the radar like Bradley and Martinez is "earning it." If they knew how to sell themselves they wouldn't have had to "earn it all" in the ring. It's not just a sport it's a business.

VADA should have year-round testing for high concentrations of B!tchassness in ya'll blood.....I'ma use this same criteria for some of ya'll favorite fighters, and go back and reference this thread lol.

"*Insert name here* should have stopped him in 3 rounds, dude must be garbage..."

And this is coming from a Canelo fan, not a Lara fan. I would actually lean towards Canelo 60% of the time if they ever match-up. Just simply because I can see Canelo (who is a somewhat a "complete" offensive package) outworking a sometimes one-dimensional Lara. But in that same breath, there are huge glaring weaknesses in Canelo's game that are tailor-made for a strong southpaw counterpuncher like Lara. No, there is no better match-up (talent wise) at 154 short of Miguel Cotto for Canelo Alvarez than Lara. None of ya'll ulterior agendas (that you all had prior to Saturday anyway lol) will change that.

Anybody making the case for Lara being overhyped while drawing comparisons to Canelo, got their skirt showin.

LMFAO!!!!!!

[BoxingGenius27]

Yeah that's my reason.........................not.

Try he's nothing but a contender. Coming up as a contender. Given a title, allowed to defend against shot fighters, while (insert name here), fights so & so to get a chance at him while he beats no-hopers.

The only reason you hate on other fighters is because they're not Mexican.

Damn Bush, you've been hitting the nail on the head all throughout this thread.

Wow u are trolling now . Amazing

what's up bud. good seeing you int he guru chat yesterday.


i think you'd be surprised to find that the money canelo would pull in fighting a no hoper isnt much worse than it is against a guy like cotto. he can fight three cans a year. maybe four. a cotto fight takes many months to promote. more than they've got if they want to keep canelo's current PPV date. i dont think that fight is feasible at this stage, or GBP would have gotten it moving.

sure, the overall purse would be much bigger, but he's probably going to have to split it down the middle or even take less than cotto. cotto's also a hell of a boxer. horribly underrated. if he were faster and had reflexes and timing like he did in his prime he'd be even better. the man has craft

i think he could outbox canelo at this stage


down the line it's a fight that i think we will see. i think in 2013 we'll see it. PR day parade night or cinco de mayo. big PPV. big numbers. i'm thinking around 750-1million buyers at 55 or 60 bucks.
now they'd probably do half of that.

when he fights a can he can take almost everything, and of course he's got next no zero chance of losing.

He said he was fine he just wanted more money he didn't get it then all of a sudden he is injured. Canelo is not the best but he still trucks Lara, k-9, and anyone else in the division and I'm a canelo hater but I have to keep it real
