Comments Thread For: How Much Time in on Erislandy Lara's Side?

[Shams627]

No one wants to fight him. Andrade moved up to 160, that was the most intruiging fight he could have got. Ever since the Canelo fight he got blacklisted, he moves too much. Fighting him is ultimately high risk low reward. The other fighters are just waiting for him to retire and vacate, whilst pursuing the other belts. Maybe if he moves up to 160 he might have fortune, if he can get into mandatory position for one of the belts. Should try his best to get the Canelo rematch.

Your right

Canelo spent allot of that fight straight moving backwards not even looking to engage. He was actually running away Oscar was probably proud of him as it brought back memories of him against Trinidad. Lara moved but never like that

People just use the narrative of he ran the whole fight because Canelo said that after the fight as a excuse why he couldn't do Sh.it to him and people just mimicked what he said.

Every fights different even if they use a similiAr strategy.

Canelo landed 1 meaningful head shot on Lara and was given credit for Blocked body shots. GGG was consistently using his jab and ram in it down Canelos throat

there is no way Canelo should have got anything but a L against Lara or Golovkin. But he's a pampered Mexican poster boy of the moment so he'll get every benifit of the doubt. Unfortunately you probably have to shoot Canelo dead in the ring to get a decision against the guy

Canelos a counter puncher, fighting off his back foot is how he fights. It also makes sense because GGG is an an aggressive fighter.

In no way did canelo fight like ODLH did against trinidad, you say it like its supposed to offend me or something which is odd but I think I know why. But to be quite honest, De La Hoya fought like Lara did and guess what? He lost too! And for Canelo being the "pampered Mexican" as you say, he didnt get the damn win. It was a close fight, if he were so pampered he wouldve gotten the W.

Seems like you watch boxing with bias goggles on and have trouble calling a spade a spade with your weak comparisons.

Everybody use that he's too boring excuse as a reason not to fight Lara!! I'd like to see him spark Andrade before he retires!!

If Jermell wins against Lubin he's ahead of Lara in the division to me

His style is somewhat Built to last for awhile but he does need to add to it. Still haven't seen much of a inside game from Lara. What happens when the Legs are gone and the Reflexes start to slow and he no longer can work from the outside like he does.

I think can beat all at 154 still if he adds more physicality to his style. However if he just continues to be that 1 Arm Backfoot Fighter just waiting to Time the Left then one of these young guys who can apply Pressure and avoid his counters will stop him. I think Brian Carlos Castano style is all bad for him, it is the Carlos Molina all over again but Brian Carlos Castano is way more talented than Molina, much quicker with more Power! Even slow Angulo with his Pressure gave Lara problems and dropped him 2 times and was up on the Cards before Lara ***ed his eye up with that shot

He did beat the ginger but luck is for suckers when you have the judges

No he didn't! & I was going for Lara too but Nelo won that.

I still think Lara would've beaten Mayweather @ 154! However his stalled career is partly his fault. Lara vs. Andrade should've happened next week! I think it's time for Lara to move to 160 and fight Andrade, Jacobs, or Derevyanchenko, and put himself in position to face either Canelo or GGG!

Do you really hate winners that much that you have to make asinine comments? Lara is not in Mayweather's league period.

Lara don't have any pop at 160, he should of fought D. Andrade when he had the chance. Maybe the Jermell/lubin fight he can fight the winner or loser of that match.

Andrade would have beaten him IMO.

For Lara it's difficult. He thinks he's an A side and wants the big money fights so if you look at his opposition since Canelo it doesn't show a guy looking to fight the other top guys. Bit like Rigo searching out the biggest payday and selecting the worst opposition available in the interim.

He has a great straight left and is slick, but he can become a little too predictable for someone with such skill and I think he'd be in danger with any of the lions at 154 and I'd firmly favor Andrade over him.

Dibella is making a huge mistake in not putting the Lubin vs Charlo as the headliner. Lara has no future.
