Apparently won't be fit until late October, early November. This is a shame for Canelo, who's going to step up now? I think Lara will be interested, that would be a good fight.

Cue, El Matador!
;D
How can a professional fighter, on June 1st, turn down a good money fight on September 15th, and say that he would not be able to get ready in more than 90 days? It takes him more than 4 months to 'get fit'? Coward, most likely. That would be a unification fight, right?
Sorry...just read that he has a shoulder injury.Quote:

Here is the source. I think it's fair enough if he's not fit, he's not fit. This is the biggest fight of his career and highly risky, it's not worth the risk if he's not fit and he mentally won't be up for it, with the risk of making the injury worse.
It's better pulling out early than late IMO.
Ahh poop!
Rubio? Ishida? Molina? Not sure what HBO will "approve" though
With Trout-Rodriguez, Brundrage-Spinks, Vanes-Davis, Mundine-McKart, Rosado-Powell, already scheduled, I'm thinking all that leaves for Canelo is: Carlos Molina, Erislandy Lara, Lukas Konecy, Charlie Ota, Carlos Quintana (maybe), Alfredo Angulo, David Lopez.
I would think a fight with Sergio Mora would do Canelo good
I think Lara deserves the fight , he's a great fighter and would be the best test for Canelo. I think Quintana was impressive too last time out, he might not be a bad test for Canalo.Quote:

Lara is a risky fight for Canelo but im pretty sure he's earned the fight, I can't remember his ranking but i don't think it will be that far behind Kirklands.Quote:

I don't think a mora fight would be HBO PPV quality IMO. I think it's a tough call for the promoters on who to pick. I think Angulo would be good for the Mexican fans but he's put himself out of the picture with that Kirkland performance though.

Lara , trout and bundrage are the choices. Not too bad IMO.
lol Yes !Quote:

Quintana might be a good choice.Quote:

It's a tough call really. I don't know who they will pick though, I stand by Lara is the most deserving though having the number one rating.
In all fairness it should be Monlina vs Canelo. He was winning fairi and square before He got Texas'd. I wouldn't mind seeing that fight happen at all.
Molina is just a spoiler, I wasn't Impressed with him against Kirkland. He's not a nice fighter to be in with, I don't think Canelo would want to fight him.Quote:

I dont know how Monila would fight Canelo though.
He just didn't look good in winning it though and although it was a bit of a bullshit dq I thought Kirkland was catching up with him.Quote:

Thats the ticket. Lara is a force when he's motivated and in shape.Quote:
