Canelo lost to Trout. So technically Floyd fought a paper champ too. And let's not forget how Canelo got his WBC title.

Technically Floyd fought a champion, because Canelo did beat Trout (even if you don't think so, technically on the scorecards he did). So Canelo in essence EARNED the belt (even though Trout being champion at that time was kinda fraudulent too).
Whereas with Lara, he did not beat anyone who had the belt to become champion. They just 'made' him champion. Thats a paper champion, but it's not his fault, he's not to blame for that joke happening.
You're right. The same way Canelo earned his WBC.
And FYI Lara deserves to have the belt (the WBA) more than Canelo when he had it.
At the time Trout was champion in the division and had just defeated an elite fighter in Miguel Cotto. At that point, he had accomplished much more as a fighter than Lara. Many people, including Golden Boy, didn't really want Canelo to fight Trout. If Canelo picked Lara at that time, instead of Trout, that would have been a 'cherrypick', because Lara did NOT accomplish what Trout had accomplished and wasn't champion either.
as i said to icha, assuming you are right about trout back in time, at the present canelo is ducking when he picked angulo and now is chaising grandpas like cotto. Please dont say that cotto is a biggest threat to canelo than lara today
(Jjrrod, is in comparison. Cotto is an elite fighter but is not better than lara and kirkland and is also not an opponent to canelo.)

You criticize Canelo for wanting to fight Cotto, but on the ESPN deportes interview Lara gave, in it he [Lara} mentions wanting to fight Cotto.
So it's OK for Lara to want to fight Cotto but not OK for Canelo to do it?
And you back peddle on saying Trout was a Cherry pick. In one of your comments you said Trout was not a real challenge to Canelo, implying he chose Trout over Lara because he was ducking Lara. Now that people have called you out on your bullshi** you're back peddling.
jaja. You didn't read the if. I said "If Lara is so bad opponent". Man, you don't have reading comprehension. That's why you think in this way with this reasoning problem jajaja. Are all Canelo's fans like you with this brain illness???. jaja Ok.
im done with you buddy, very few care about lara and his fans but you are so annoying, hopefully the fight gets done soon so that we can rid of all you..

jjrood. You again in another mistake. Lara came to ask cabelo for a fight and he ducked saying he has to wait. Lara doent have too many options, so now he is fighting a bum because he has no opponent. Is the time the best fight the best, and with mayweather ezception canelo is one of the best in the division is not fighting the best. Cotto is good but his best time has gone in comparison with canelo. Canelo is ducking lara for a long time and he has to start thinking now to leave his golden boy cage and start doing good fightd again. Mayweather fight is an exception because is an honor to loose with him
just a reminder...
here is a list of the last fights of your so regarded no 1 at 154lbs...
fights ishe smith (coming off a loss)
beats trout (coming off a loss)
beats angulo (coming off a gift decision to a welter)
draws to vanes (coming off a win)
beats hernandez (who was ko by bertho in 1 round)
beats hearns (coming off a loss)
losses to williams- a win in my book(coming off a devastating ko loss)
draws to molina- a loss in my book(coming off a win)
those are laras latest and most important fights, notice the trend?
he didnt beat a decent opponent coming off a win (gift decisions not included)...
im done with you buddy, very few care about lara and his fans but you are so annoying, hopefully the fight gets done soon so that we can rid of all you..
good. And if canelo wins ill congratulate you. Stop justifying promoters who hide and protect fighters kidnapping the sport. This manipulation has to be stoped when we the clients dont pay to see fake fights with bums and grandpas. Lets see if gb take the right path and do the real fights
so he actually fought trout coming off a loss for that title, that is as bad as canelo fighting hatton for the wbc title... they but deserved title shots but not with those opponents...
