oh, so I see we're back at it. Here's what nobody gets, you can only fight who's willing to fight you and nobody want to fight Lara because unless you have the golden boy influenced judges, you're gonna get beat. As far as canelos resume, are you really happy with his opposition since the Lara fight??

ZERO ppl want to see this SHT fight but YOU. It's already labeled SHTYest fight this DECADE!!!

The only thing WORSE then this fight is of Lara doesn't KO this BUM in 1 Round!

Lara's probably gonna dance with this Rabbi for 8-9 rounds and everyone is going to be sleeping after round 2...

Canelo has the most delusional fan base of any boxer ever. The guy is impossible to defend. He ducks ggg, he gets suspect decision wins and chooses to fight guys like khan and beefy. Bottom line is he won't give Lara a rematch because Lara isn't a face first idiot like Angulo or Kirkland. He won't face ggg because he knows he'd get ko'd. Too bad the days of Mexicans being Warriors and their fans being hard core are over. That's why guys like Fernando vargas got more respect in some of his losses than Canelo has gotten for any of his wins.

Translation "I am running out of money from the 1st fight" LARA has his chance and he decided to RUN instead of fighting! LAra should go after GGG he fight anyone anywhere for the right $

that's not entirely true. Yes vargas is Mexican American but he's also a 1st generation Mexican who speaks Spanish and identifies with his mexican roots. You can't compare that to Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins who are 100s of yrs removed from their African roots. Vargas however displayed more of the Mexican pride that's been synonymous with Mexican fighters by constantly chasing the best opposition possible than Canelo has even though Canelo is the "pure mexican" . Canelo talks a good game but I can't recall any Mexican ever giving up a belt in order to fight lesser opposition and make less money doing so.

Vargas, De La Hoya, Bobby Chacon, Carlos Palomino, Johnny Tapia and many other Mexican American boxers fought all comers. I don't mean to belabor the point, but I don't think that warrior mentality is limited to Mexican fighters, but the economics of boxing has changed. In this era fighters of every strip are less interested in "legacy" and more interested in high reward, low risk fights. I don't think Canelo is alone in this, nor do I think that he is afraid of Golovkin. His first instinct is to fight, but with tens of millions of dollars at stake and promoters and networks in the mix it becomes much more complicated.

I get your point, and agree to some extent, but FYI Fernando Vargas isn't Mexican. Born and bred in the USA. Mexican Americans are not carbon copies of Mexicans, any more than Roy Jones Jr. or Bernard Hopkins are carbon copies of Africans and likely to fight in an "African" style.

He ALREADY gave Lara a lottery ticket and fought him once when he didn't have to. It's not Canelo's fought Lara disgraced himself in the ring blew it and is begging for another shot. Lara is also begging GGG to fight him too why doesn't GGG give him a shot instead of losers on house arrest like Wade? At least Canelo has an excuse been there done that and has bigger money fights what's GGG's excuse? You just mad because all roads end with Canelo everyone wants that lottery ticket he's the cash cow and at age 26 has already a better resume and better wins then 35 year old GGG. LMAO

1. Not sure how outboxing someone and limiting them to 7 jabs landed while out landing your opponent is disgraceful but ok. 2. Not sure what lottery ticket you're referring to when every ppv headlined by Canelo has only generated under half a mil buys at best. Yes, his name brings popularity but his actual accomplishments aren't all that great. Gifted a title vs Matthew Hatton, schooled by Floyd, generous decisions vs multiple fighters and expected wins over limited guys like khan, beefy, Kirkland and Angulo. He's not exactly setting the boxing world on fire. 3. How long are you going to use his age as an excuse? He's been a pro for for 12 yrs and has called himself a world champ for 6 yrs. How much more time does he need to finally ball up and face ggg instead of these trash fights he's been putting on. Now he wants to bring Chavez Jr back to life? That's lame af. It's funny how Mexicans support him because if cotto had defeated Canelo when they fought and went on to avoid ggg, give up his belt, fight little amir khan etc. They'd crucify him as the biggest Punk in boxing history. But because it's a Mexican doing it everyone wants to make corny excuses for him.
