I think punch for punch Canelo > Lara, but I also think that Lara is crafty enough to hit you with a fast hard punch when you least expect it adding in a shock factor to his hit. I'm not saying he does it all the time but occasionally he uses it, like against Trout.
I dislike Angulo getting a big fight over Lara. Angulo quit against Lara in June and has done nothing since. Lara made Angulo quit and went on to beat top 154 contender Austin Trout by wide margin. Who cares if Angulo is the more 'exciting, sellable' fight. Its basically rewarding Angulo for losing. Maybe that's the best way to get big money fights and title shots - lose. Little to no integrity and no value in meritocracy - you wonder why boxing isn't a top tier sport in popularity in America.
