He basically looked about the same level as each fighter in these fights Williams/Molina/Martirosyan/Angulo. The only thing Lara does is not get blown out/make his opponent look good. He is not special and he is not on his fellow countryman's level either, Rigo. And secondly, people forget that Canelo vetoed his team's advice and he took the Trout fight. And lets not forget Canelo was set to fight Cotto, Ortiz, and Williams but Cotto and Ortiz lost their fights and Williams got in that accident. And also he tried twice to get Kirkland in the ring and Kirkland turned down both offers. People can rate Canelo how they want but he is not worried about getting in there.
And lets not forget what Lara did to Trout and what Trout did to Canelo!
What exactly did Trout do Alvarez? I know Alvarez dropped him for the first time in his career and took his 0. Trout didn't do anything to Alvarez. He never came close to hurting him. Trout tried to win with that don't get close to me jab. Wasn't gonna happen
