Comments Thread For: Lara: Canelo Clearly Having Problems With Weight

[nycsmooth]

Can u imagine how average alvarez will b @ MW...

All this talk by Lara only to show up with his cross country shoes on fight night.

Mayweather knows Lara will beat Canelo and that's why he's been talking about retirement. He knows what time it is.

Thats a moronic statement, mr. Dale.

Angulo is a straight up pressure fighter Canelo is NOT. It was the constant pressure stamina and high workrate that troubled Lara but Lara still hold his own and showed real mental toughness and heart. I believe Lara will outbox Canelo.

Hard to disagree with this. Canelo has always been much more of a counterpuncher, if anything. He is definitely not a pressure fighter. He also has very slow feet, which makes lara much more of a threat to him than your typical slick boxer.

Wrong!!!! Danny Garcia is next...Lara is not box office enough, small fan base. Garcia has it all, the resume, fan base, marketability with his dad at the forefront. Lara will never fight Floyd, nobody will buy it

Garcia has never even headlined his own ppv. He has brings zero money to the table and looked awful in his last fight. At least Lara is a legitimate fight. Garcia v. Mayweather is not. If mayweather wanted to fight the best, he should fight either golovkin who says he can make 154 or Martinez, if he can make that weight. Those are too high risk for him given that neither brings a lot of money to the table.

The same make believe title he fought Trout for huh?

He has problem with weight, plain and simple. Or you think he came overweight for the Angulo fight for no reason?

trout was an undefeated young champion who validated that belt by outboxing cotto.. lara on the other hand defeated trout who previously lost the belt to canelo.... if you keep floyd aside from jmw since he fights mostly at welter, then we all know trout and canelo were considered 1 and 2 at the division at the time they unified, that wasnt the case when lara fought trout...
and by the way that wbc title that canelo got from the hatton fight was also a paper title, but canelo was too young then, know he realizes the way things should be...

This is the most important ppv fight this year and only must get ppv fight. The others pale in comparison.

If Lara wins this, there can no longer be any denying the most viable and worthy adversary for Floyd. There won't be any argument for Pacman, or Bradley, no more show uppers for that check and no-hopers, it'd be Lara or leave. I bet Floyd retires if Lara does win. Or probably he'd require another catchweight and become the (new) catchweight king.

Agreed. Floyd would have to seriously considder Lara if he beats Canelo. Especially if he does so impressively. I don't think Lara will handle him as easily as Floyd did but I do think he will handle him and it wont be very close.

That is the difference to me. That and Nelo does not have the gas take to even be a pressure fighter so he can't wear that mask for this fight. In his mind though, he can outbox Lara. He will try to do so like he tried to outbox Floyd, and he will have some success, enough to keep him attempting but not enough to win against a more masterful boxer than himself.

Not sure bout that one. Don't see Danny and Floyd fighting. Danny will want to keep his 0 and build his own brand and in his right mind he cannot think he stands a legitimate chance at beating Mayweather.

The Trout fight was billed as a unification fight at 154 lbs. It was a good fight and Canelo had 2 belts.The WBA belt was vacated before Trout won it...look it up. After Canelo lost to May, he has zero belts. He doesn't want to pay a fee for a belt that Flotd stills owns. Canelo will be in great shape and whooop Lara's ass.
