Do you want Canelo to fight Lara, Angulo or Molina on March 8th?

[bzkfn]

Schaefer said that Cotto wouldn't be ready and identified Canelo's options as Alfredo Angulo, Erilandy Lara and Carlos Molina. Canelo's team prefers the Molina fight for the IBF belt, but Schaefer would like to do a mini tournament with Canelo fighting Angulo and Molina vs. Lara on the undercard as chief support.

Who do you think Canelo will fight?

They are all Gbp fighters so it is up to Alvarez. I doubt he fights Lara unless he gets put into a corner. I'd bet its Angulo. Btw Mexico city is long overdue for a big fight.

[Violent Demise]

Any one of them would be fine. But for action, Angulo is the run away choice.

I don't think he will fight Lara for two reasons. 1. Lara fights in a boring as hell sharpshooter style that would make for a shit fight. 2. Lara is a puzzle that hasn't been figured out yet and I think everyone wants to see more of him before they get in the ring with him. You could say that's ducking Lara, but I would call it common sense.
Lara also gives them the perfect reason for not fighting him, it would be a boring fight, his sharpshooter style sucks in my opinion.
Molina will be the fight he wants, it has a title attached.
Angulo would be a short war with Alvarez the winner.

Floyd fights have been called boring many times before so have Alexander's and so have Wlad's.

Let's be honest with ourselves, the reason they aren't considering Lara seriously is because Lara is the most difficult fight of the bunch and Canelo is coming off a loss. Lara beat Angulo, questionable stoppage or not. He also beat Trout better than Canelo. There should be NO debate that out of everyone, Lara deserves the Canelo fight the most.

However, this is business and I can respect it for now.

If he doesn't face Lara after fighting the Angulo or Molina, and faces someone like Maidana, let's call it a duck. I almost call it a duck now, but I hesitate considering that Canelo lost his last fight and he might need to work on a few things.

Out of the options listed, Angulo makes the most sense. It'll be a fun fight to watch and they don't like each other. If Angulo can find Lara, he can find Canelo. Angulo is open for the right though and Canelo has a good one.

Angulo. Molina is shit. Lara is too good for him so just leaves Angelo. Would be a fun fight but suspect Canelo too strong for him and stops him late

[Manos de Piedra]

I would like to see him fight Lara.
Reason being is that I think Lara deserves that fight also for the the reason that I would like to see how good he really is. I'm not sure as of now but a fight against Canelo would show how good he is. I do think he's but just don't know how good.

[El Kabong]

I never get tired of seeing Angulo getting pummeled

[Beanflicker]

Canelo would be wise to stay away from Lara, who IMO is absolute poison to him.

Angulo would be the best option. It's an opportunity for Canelo to win in exciting, impressive fashion. The last thing he needs coming off his first loss to Floyd would be to fight a slickster southpaw like Lara.

[zhubin]

I agree that he needs to stay away from Lara...that is not the right stylistic match up for him.

[Hulk]

Pretty spot on.


Molina isn't shit, but he is absolute shit to watch and a terrible spoiler.


Lara could beat Canelo; he has the tools.


Angulo would be by far the most exciting match to watch. Hands down.
