Comments Thread For: Lara Wants Cotto, Canelo or Martinez After Angulo

[285Kid]

He wants Martinez ok too bad he hurt tho

[MASTER1454]

Williams had like 3 inches on the guy and I thought I heard HBO crew say 10+ lbs as well?

If Canelo tired out from chasing a guy who doesnt move as much as Lara and doesnt hit as hard what do you think will happen vs Lara? Oh and btw there's the Canelo chin question mark too. Shaky chin + fatigue = a KO waiting to happen.

Who touched him?

True, but it should be enough to keep Canelo honest & truthfully, we don't know about his chin because he hasn't been in there with top comp, save Trout, who's only being mentioned because he beat a shot Cotto.

I don't see Lara as being so much better than Trout that it's a foregone conclusion he'll beat "Canelo." Erislandy is a very solid fighter, but he's no world beater. At this point, I think a match-up between him and Alvarez is very much up in the air. I didn't think that way before the Trout fight.

My impressions of Lara were never especially high, but they've come down a little from that somewhat modest level. Erislandy looked great against Williams, and he's blasted out a few inferior opponents, but he looked unimpressive against Molina and just okay versus Martirosyan. Lara is unpredictable. As you said, he seems to lack focus.

Im hoping Angulo wins but he hasnt looked good lately maybe he rises to the occassion, n Lara is not as good as i thought he would be, but hes still a very solid fighter

Styles make fights. You bring up Molina - who ever looked good vs. him? Give me one fighter that did.That Vanes fight, well I might as well had some warm milk & been tucked in bed like some old fart @ a nursing home .....

cotto looked better against floyd than he did against trout.....

[garfios]

You think Canelo is afraid of Lara? I think he'd blast Lara out KO style.

Don't think too much, it could hurt, ginger is a piece of $h1t that is been pampered by the WBC/GBP, he is there because his looks not his talent...

that was an 18yo canelo, dont expect the same now....

[garfios]

No way is Lara better then trout, if he's so good why did he struggle with both Vanes and Molina? (average fighters), Canelo Ko's his ass maybe a decision because this guy is a over defensive boring figther.

He didn't struggle with neither, he was sick against Molina with a tooth infection to the point that they want to call the fight off, he say he will fight, and couldn't train properly because of that and Shields was with Rigondeaux in Ireland,(still the only thing Molina did was hug his way to a draw and get all busted up for his effort) Vanes fight was by design,. let him throw all his $h1t and give him a lesson from the 5 or 6 on and ko him in the process, you know $h1t...

Then again you thought Donaire will win against Rigondeaux, while ppl that know boxing like Atlas was picking GR by schooling and the Cubans that knew GR from the amateurs, Lara is a heck of a fighter with a granite chin and power in both hands, specially when sitting on his punches...
