Both are good fights and will present different challenges to Canelo. Isn't it funny that it is widely accepted that Molina beat Kirkland and Lara beat Williams, yet, it is Williams and Kirkland, not Lara or Molina, getting the Canelo fight.
It is even worse than that for Molina.

Molina beats Cintron; Cintron still gets fight against Canelo
Molina beats Kirkland; Kirkland is in the discussion for Canelo

Lara beating williams; Williams in discussion for Canelo

Molina or Lara are a much tougher test for Canelo. Molina is awkward. Lara is a skilled southpaw.

Canelo's team avoding both like the plague in favor of a brawler (Kirkland) or a guy who used to win solely on length, chin, and volume (PW).
