    Why is Jnr Middle so overrated?

    Is it because of Oscar? Canelo-Lara is the big fight hardcore fans have been waiting for and is the fight of the division but I could almost care less for it. What is Canelo? Handspeed without the stamina to fight for 3 mins of a round. Lara? Good boxer who has the propensity to underperform. This already has me somewhat disinterested. Neither of these two should be good enough to be considered the champ, if the division actually had a real champion. The rest of the division is barely even worth a note. The only one I really see with some upcoming talent is one of those Charlos. The rest? Overrated.

    Kirkland's inactive. Andrade, has been chilling since November. He won't fight until mid-June. Molina got booked for statutory ****, so he couldn't lose his title to Charlo...

      I'm gassed as hell for this fight. Canelo and Lara are the top 2 "full time" fighters in this division and 2 of the 20 best fighters in the world today pound for pound. Canelo has a very solid skill set and is a very well rounded fighter. Lara has the strong amateur pedigree from one of the best boxing schools in the world.

      You got two very skilled boxers going at it.The best of the Cuban boxing school vs. the best of the Mexican boxing school. I'm looking forward to it.

      The winner of this fight needs to fight Molina though. That will determine the real champ. At JMW you have Canelo, Lara and Molina. Andrade, the Charlos and those other guys need a few more wins under their belts. Cotto and Trout are still in the mix but they are on losing streaks (I'm not counting Delvin).

        Lara is not top 20
        He looked good in 1 fight vs a scarecrow legged X champ.
        Lara needs to win vs Canelo before you can rank him anywhere.
        The guy just got off the boat, how is he top 20?

          I think Lara Canelo will be a great fight.

            LOL. Canelo would put those Charlo twins on ***** Street at the same time. Jet Magazine model ass *****z. You just trashed the division and ****** off the Charlo twins? That's laughs.

                oscar who, ODLH? are you talking about now or like, historically? your post is confusing.

                there's some good talent now, including everyone you mentioned … but if you try to shat on it historically, you'll quickly learn how foolish that is.

                  Yep u rite. 154 is pretty stank. The two best (Canelo, Lara) would be lucky to even be top 5 at 147 or 160. 154 needs new talent. It sucks.

                    didnt canelo just fought 3 mins of a round times 10 vs angulo... except for 20 secs on the 8th round, by the ten round canelo was as fresh as a lettuce , this stamina theory is nothing but a myth... even angulo and hunter had the wrong strategy due to this theory, expecting canelo to gas in the later rounds, it never happened... hopefully lara puts his eggs on the same basket and he is in for a long night...
