Why is Lara so overrated on here?

[aldo5408]

I know exactly why you say this.. because Floyd never fought him and people trash Floyd for it. Lara would've kicked Floyd's ass. More power, more reach, more height, more weight. Just a real 154 pounder. Floyd was a paper champ at 154.

He's probably one of the best at 154. The problem is that they are overrating him because some pretend he would beat GGG at 160 which makes no sense at all.

Hey bro I agree with you. I'm a canelo fan but I think Lara should have won. If Lara would have gotten the W vs Paul Williams and canelo he would have been the best at 154. But since he got robbed and is considered boring. People want to sweep him under the rug.

How is he ranked #1 unanimously??? He hasnt even fought the top fighters there...he #1 by default because Floyd retired and Canelo moved up

He outclassed Austin Trout the #2 fighter in the division and technically he fought Canelo at middleweight. And that was an even fight.

I wouldn't say overrated. He's the #1 fighter at 154 unanimously and the goal is to see the best fight the best, right? So is wanting to see Lara vs. Andrade, Cotto, Canelo II, Golovkin, Charlo, etc. overrating him or just wanting to see the best fight the best?

Great post.

Maradona is better than Pelé, and has scored the best goal in world cups history. (1986)

Yes, Argentinian women like black bananas. They also like white bananas. They like bananas in general.

Luis Firpo was a fuckin bum

Lara is only slightly overrated imo. He's one of the best at LMW, just not THE best because he doesn't have the wins to prove it yet. He needs to look impressive against Vanes and actually beat him this time, then face Charlos/Andrade/Nelson. He's 2-3 fights away from the #1 spot.

You mean the hand ball red card of 1986? I only got respect for Maradona because he did coke just like Chavez Sr. that ended their careers. Pele got three World Cups. I know, that Messy dork ain't won no cup nor will he ever.

Lara has close fights to Canelo and Paul Williams which resulted in losses. Close fights with Vanes and Carlos Molina which were draws. Wins over Angulo and Trout among others. That's a lot of top JMW on his resume without being clearly beat

Seriously the guy has not done anything worth the hype..who is his best win?? Trout?..Yes you can say he was robbed against Paul Williams ok cool...but on the biggest stage against Canelo he layed a huge stinking turd...The guy is limited and far from what i would call slick,slick fighters dont get dropped 2 times by a shot slow ass Angulo.

Lara has never impressed me and i dont get why people want to see him get his **** pushed in by GGG. Its a pointless fight against someone who doesnt even fight at 160. So why all the hype over this guy?

wow, I am 100% in agreement with Larryxxxxx on something. I should alert the media......

[Sledgeweather17]

He's a step below elite level but he is a very good world level fighter imo.

I agree that he isnt slick though. His defence is mostly based on footwork and shelling up, he doesnt really slip, slide and roll punches while in range like a slick fighter does.

Not many I would pick to beat him at JWW, which is a pretty good division with some of the best young talent in boxing

I think Andrade would stop him.

[Larry the boss]

Floyd??? Because he beat Cotto in... 2012? LOL

Canelo hasn't fought at 154 since Trout.

Lara is at least a light middleweight who fights at 154.

But who has Lara beaten at 154?? who has he even fought worth a damn since Canelo
