Comments Thread For: Canelo's Thoughts on Facing Lara, Angulo vs. Lara

[bojangles1987]

LOL. "If he hadn't walked away." He walked away because Lara hit Angulo in the face over and over and over and over until he looked like the elephant man and had to quit because it was too painful.

So millionaire Floyd is justified for not fighting Lara because it's not a money fight, yet Canelo, who is coming off a loss, is not?

if it needs to happen?? lol...so i guess fighting the guy that quit against lara needed to happen...canelo is the biggest hype job in boxing...i really hope angulo KOs him.

So Lara fighting two straight guys coming of a loss needed to happen? The double standards are hilarious. One guys gets crucified for fighting back to back undefeated fighters and decides to take on a puncher after his first loss who gave Lara the hardest fight of his life. Yet Lara is praised and respected for calling out a guy coming off a loss with no belt

"Kicking his ass" was an exaggeration in the mist of a rant homie. I did think Molina deserved the decision. As for Angulo, he was hurting or dropping Lara damn near every time he touched him. And that was a freak thing that happen to his eye. Every similar to what happen to Rahman, against Holyfield I agree. I don't think Lara "made him quit." Most fighters wouldn't continue with an extra head growing out of their eye.

I think it was a draw at worst between Lara and Molina but I hate that hugging, Clinching style. Perro hurt him 2x but Lara got up each time and went right back to work. Lara was hurting Angulo too. And hommie quit, no way around that one. Even if it's understandable.

I think a move to 160 would open up more doors for him. He can beat Quillin then have the option to move back down to 54 for a rematch with Molina, can fight GGG at 60, Cotto might be an option and of course Canelo will always be an option in 2015.

The important thing for him is to keep busy, and stay relevant.

Lara should call out Quillin. That fight in NYC would sell well.
He's not getting his shot at Alvarez until at least 2015. Until then he can fight Quillin and rematch Molina while Alvarez fights Angulo and the Martinez/Cotto winner.
Early 2015 is when I could see the fight happening.

Absolutely. If Lara wants to open another door of opportunity in hopes of a GGG fight and break into 160, that's a good way to go about it. Maybe Lara is sticking around 154 trying to win the lottery vs you know who. Canelo eventually will move to 160 as well.

Molina kicked Lara's ass??? Wtf??? And Angulo was kinda sorta just for a little bit kicking Lara's ass until Lara made him quit!!! So cuz he fought Floyd the best fighter he gets a pass now??? Come on bro.....

Anyone who thinks Lara should sit around quiet in hopes that GB gives him a money shot is naive.
Lara needs to continue calling out ANYONE and garner more interest whether via twitter or whatever social outlet.

Lara vs Canelo has been brewing for a WHILE yet some so called fans fall back on well "Lara should rematch Molina first" are the same idiots which complain about bad style match ups and fights being boring. Who the fuck wants to re-watch that shit?

Nah haters are just gonna hate, simple as that, Angulo gave Lara the toughest fight of is career and sent him to canvas for the first first time of his career twice, no Molina, no Williams, no Martirosyan, no Trout ever came close to that, and you call Angulo a cherrypick? SMH..........................

Isn't Angulo the only other guy apart from a lucky shot from Ishida who sent Kirkland to the canvas and gave him hell on the first round of their fight?

Someone tell me If I don't get it right, Angulo is a tough dude for anyone at 154 PERIOD, shut your mouth off and learn something.

I smell a Maidana vs Broner upset.............. and if Canelo wins against Angulo it will make the Canelo vs Lara thing a bigger thing, but people just keep hatin on the kid, anyway what can you tell me about this???

All I can tell you by now is that even Floyd Sr. said in a recent interview that he think Canelo has the skills to be a great boxer, if Floyd Sr. says that it's because he knows it for sure.
