    GGG's not even a problem, that's a guaranteed ass whooping for GGG.
    Don't see it, also Lara and Canelo can clash at 160. Lara called out Martinez once, said he would be willing to move up. So 160 isn't much of a problem. Canelo can neutralize Lara's main weapon, the straight left hand and then go from there.

      Now it's, that version of Angulo. Gets annoying on here. Lara hasn't improved since his struggles with Molina but everyone got excuses.

        You don't see it, because you don't want to see it. Oh yeah, Canelo's faced someone with as accurate and quick of a left hand as Lara, so Canelo can just nullify that left hand in your mind (sarcasm).

          No one cares about Lara, if Canelo wins he's fighting names that generate paper.

            He'd eventually have to move up to MW, and guys like GGG and Quillen are waiting there.

            I don't see how Canelo beating Floyd = next superstar, when the division he's fighting in has an arguably more skilled fighter than him, and the weight class above is a nightmare.

            You can't tell me, that there are enough fighters at JMW to avoid Lara and justify it.
            I think Floyd will stay at welterweight and never fight higher then 147 again.

              I barely care about Lara. LMAO. I'm just saying that it's a very realistic possibility that Canelo loses to Lara, then all that momentum they have will drastically decrease. Imagine if he loses to Lara, twice.

                Lara is gonna have to bring more than that, and Canelo's defense is good enough to take Lara's straight left away. He doesn't have to be aggressive when he has good enough hand speed and timing to counter off of whatever Lara throws as well.

                  If Canelo beats Floyd and Nelo loses to a guy like Lara who went life and death with slow ass Alfredo Angulo, that would hurt Floyds legacy big time. Only way a loss to Canelo won't hurt Floyds legacy is if Canelo goes on to become great.

                    That's where your argument is completely nullified. You're giving Canelo attributes that Lara is better at. You can switch the names, and it would apply directly to Lara as well, except with more movement, and better boxing overall.

                    Not to mention, more pop, and no stamina issues.

                      You guys really need to stop underrating the Angulo that fought Lara. That was some dude on PEDs that fought like a prime Lamotta.
