Erislandy lara is #1 contender to floyd/canelo

[edwinteamDSG]

It's a sad state of affairs when you come up the hard way and still cannot get a shot. He's beat everyone who they put infront of him, he's faced everyone who was being ducked but still no shot. It makes me sick.

When Mayweather and Canelo fight what's going to happen to the regular WBA belt?

I think its mostly because of his ameateur background , they know someone like that would make canelo ,ishe smith, and cotto look average or maybe worst..

[edwinteamDSG]

Canelo would beat Lara.

Why have they ducked him like 4 or 5 times in a row then??

[edwinteamDSG]

Absolutely ridiculous. Why call them title eliminators if they don't ever get him a shot at a title? Just call them what they are: "Delude him into thinking he'll get a shot while we REALLY hope he loses" fights.

Thats exactly what it really is , a trap that always backfires on GBP SMH!!!

Lara is #11 at 154 lbs. He still needs to beat 2-3 more top 10 guys to move up. Let's get Lara vs Kirkland next,relax with the Floyd /Canelo ****e. Lara lost to Paul Williams(record says loss ,lol),Carlos Moilna (only his family had him in a draw in that one,he lost), and he lost to Vanes(the partiallly scored round saved him there after he butted Vanes).Lara has 1 impressive win (Angulo) and 2-3 wins over top 30-35 guys like : Hearns and Fernandez.



My top 10 at 154 right now:

1 Floyd
2 Canelo
3 Trout
4 Cotto
5 Molina...he beat Lara..great resume
6 K9..former world champ with pretty good resume
7 Ishe Smith..world champ..better competition
8 Kirkland 31-1 w/ 27 KO. I think he KTFO's Lara in less than 3 if he trains.
9 Vanes M (32-0)..and he was beating Lara handidly
10 Zaurbek Baysangurov (28-1)...he looked terrible vs K9 but is fighting Andrade soon,we'll all see if he is deserving or not.

No one in this division has faced more top 10 guys then lara has, and the fact that he gets the judges agaisnt him they've taken 2wins away from him (williams,vanes)!! You have canelo and trout 2nd and 3rd and they have only fought each other thats about it in the top ten! Cotto is no longer top 5 even tho he was great b4.but Wtf are you thinking?? If you think lara isnt top 5 in 154 just go home!! Lmao

floyd will go back to 147 after the canelo fight his scared to stay @ 154 too many risk

[BendOver]

Laras a good boxer but hes stunk up the joint far too many times. He can put on an entertaining fight if matched up with the right opponent.

Canelo could be the right opponent...

floyd is ducking LARA....

this will be the new saying after the canelo floyd fight just get ready for it

last time i checked Lara didnt beat Molina. he was lucky to get a draw.

Wait a minute is Lara a world champion ??? Did I miss that ?


Trout only fought Canelo...I must have missed him beating Cotto in the Garden then,thought I saw that fight? Trout would embarress Lara.

Lara over Cotto ? wtf am I on ???

Cotto...check his loses.He beat Margarito.Margarito could come home from drinkimg,not having trained in a year, and KTFO Lara ,right now.

Lara got a draw vs Molina where he lost. He was losing to Vanes.
The fight was awful.He butted Vanes and only got a draw after the 9th round was scored as a partial round.

Molina has wins over :Cintron,Lara,and former WC Spinks.He also has fought Kirkland..we'll never know...fight stopped by moron(maybe Kirk gets the KO,maybe Molina holds on fpr the win)...and fights Ishe Smith in 07/13.

Too much emphasis on this site put on the amateurs. Yes,a great amateur backround is worth lauding but the PRO game is MUCH different than the amateurs where it's slap with the white part of the glove and move. The amateur system of scoring ****** and headgear changes fights.

I would like to see Lara vs Kirkland or Lara vs Trout to make me a bigger believer if he can win vs either.

[I Hate Thugs!]

Let me see......he lost to Molina, looked like crap vs Vanes and was on his way to being koed against plodder Angulo but was lucky Angulo was thumbed yet he deserves a shot against the big boys???? Get outta here.....if someone deserves a title shot is Molina not this overhyped bum.
