Why is Lara getting all this hype?

[jab2theballs]

Both Lara and Canelo are overrated. Lara more so because of his age and amateur background. Do you think so much would be expected of Lara at 21?
and don't give me none of that "but Canelo has a gift belt" BS,if Lara were given a title shot vs someone of low risk he would've taken it as well.

Mars Volta's trolling hard in this thread.

I fed the troll hardcore.
I should leave now so OP can ********** to the picture of Canelo in peace.
The cum guzzling in OP is strong... better get out before it drips on me.

for starters canelo has been asking for Mayweather but Oscar told him that fight isn't happening just yet and they don't bring up lara's name because he doesn't bring anything to the table I.E no name,no belt, etc

That "nothing to the table" is a BS excuse. If Canelo was the draw you claim he is he could fight a hot dog salesman and people would pay to see it.What did Gomez bring to the table? Rhodes? What did Hatton bring to the table?

No point man... OP thinks Canelo is god.
I bet he thinks Canelo could beat Ali and Foreman at the same time

i thought rhodes,cintron,and vasquez 2x are good wins on his resume considering
his age...

1. cintron hasnt been worth anything for quite some time. that was an ol win, he had just lost to molina. nothin canelo should be heaped with praise for.

2. vasquez is also questionable. the first time he beat him, it was vasquez' first fight. the second time, many thought canelo lost not to mention the fact that vasquez' best weights seems to be 10 and below and hes currently campagning at 135

Rhodes was a high ranked jr middleweight when he fought alvarez and hatton and gomez had somewhat names they were gimmie fights to build canelo

keep crying about lara not getting a shot though cotto vs canelo is being set up for 2013 whine some more

Rhodes was not better than Lara and you don't look for "gimme fights"after you get a belt. I'm not crying at all. As a boxing fan I wan't to see the best fights. You are a delusional worshiper of a fighter with your love for Canelo. You would rather see him fight "gimme" fights because you're in love with him and don't wan't him to risk losing.. You're not a fan of the sport itself. That's what is truly pathetic. And there is nothing "set" about Cotto and Canelo.

Cintron went the distance with Molina and won some more rounds more so then kirkland did so you dismissing it was just a loss is dumb

like i said, cintron hasnt looked good in years. yes he should be dismissed.

[BoxingGenius27]

Not only did Canelo not fight Kirkland after Kirkland won the title eliminator bout, but now that I think about it, couldn't he have fought Molina instead of Cintron?

I mean let's face it, Molina just beat Cintron not to long before the Cintron-Canelo fight.

For everyone giving Cintron props for being a valid opponent, just ask yourself, wouldn't Molina have been an even more valid opponent over Cintron?

I don't even like Molina, but did Canelo duck him?

[joseph5620]

like i said he was going to fight williams,kirkland,and ortiz not his fault those fights didn't happen

and i'll bet that he will fight cotto or another big name in 2013 golden boy doesn't baby anyone

Kirkland after he had shoulder surgery. How convenient. As I said before, Ortiz hasn't even had one fight at 154 and he's not even the best fighter at 147. The Williams fight was the best of those three but NOT the best at 154 for a champion. GB not "babying" him is a joke. Why did Canelo fight the LOSER of Moilina-Cintron?

[Beater_of_ass]

So Lara should market himself even though he is promoted by 1 of the 2 most powerful promoters in boxing?? The problem with Lara is the business of boxing, nothing else.

Yes, if they aren't doing their job right. Look what happened with Floyd once he left Arum, seriously man you can't win this argument. What you guys need to realize is GBP works for the fighter not the other way around. If the fighter doesn't get in the ring the promoter doesn't make any money period. GBP can't tell him to make his own shirts or try to get some exposure on TV with some sort of ad, interviews on ESPN or websites etc. This is why Floyd is considered "smart" because he saw all this garbage he could do to make himself bigger and it worked. I'm not saying he'll ever be on Mayweather's level in terms of skill or popularity but he should be able to get his native fans recognition by more than just holding his flag up.
