Who would win a Gabe Rosado vs. Erislandy Lara fight

I'm a Rosado fan but let's not get it twisted. He's gatekeeper at worst/fringe contender at best. Lara is world class. Not even an argument as to who wins.

Ya I can agree with that. I think though if Rosado lands his hard straight right hand Lara could be in a lot of trouble.

You're talking about a "puncher's chance." I suppose Gabe has one, but who would bet on it? Landy took a couple of monster shots from a heavy hitter, got back up and went to right back to work both times.

Indeed. It's a compliment to Rosado that he'd even be considered to make the fight entertaining.

What makes him world class. Lara looks like crap anytime he fights a guy with a pulse. Molina, Martirosyan, and Angulo made him look ordinary to me. Rosado has skills and is a big jmw and is better than Martirosyan (who is another bum beater). Everyone thought Lara was going to put a clinic on Angulo and look what happened. Rosado beats Angulo in a rematch IMO and Perro turned the rematch down for a good reason. Rosado gives Lara a tough fight and could beat him. Its a 50/50 fight IMO.

Either Lara by decision or Rosado by stoppage.

This.

According to boxing scene Lara schools everyone, then he steps up and struggles.

I say it's a close fight against Rosado that can go either way.

I like Rosado but this is a fight for him. Lara beats any JMW imo.
Rosado would have more luck with Canelo.

I actually like Rosado. He's a good young fighter. His lack of much amateur experience is the main reason for most of his early losses and he is steadily improving. In essence, he is learning on the job. I just don't see him beating Lara though. Lara is a well schooled fighter with good movement, a solid jab and he delivers a punishing left hand. Rosado has good pop as well but, as we saw in the GGG and Love fights, he doesn't let his hands go enough. Rosado's not going to turn into Angulo all of a sudden. He's not active enough, doesn't throw to the body enough, nor does he cut off the ring well enough. Lara proved to have a solid chin and resiliency against Angulo. Those question marks have been answered. Now I picture Lara taking on the top guys like Trout and Canelo. He is clearly among the best in the division.

Lara would school him silly

Rosado is too tough for Lara.Rosado by KO.
