Its just way too disingenuous and almost comical. Lara has to feel like a puppet on 20 strings by now. I can see if he balked and then you get the alphabet boys threatening strip etc. They knew and set the Smith fight so next time get Alvarez to DEMAND a top threat before the fact. Demanded,![]()
Hats off to Alvarez for wanting the toughest fight at 154. Lara has the best chance of beating him of any potential Alvarez opponent but I think Alvarez beats him, especially based on their performances against Angulo.
Lara is booked for a stay busy fight on a small card the night before the Floyd PPV so he can pull out and be in perfect shape for Alvarez. No problem there.
I like canelo.
But lets not pretend that he hasnt just been schooled by floyd so why put floyd down?
I would love to see canelo start dominating everyone but calling out a fighter thats already signed to fight doesnt make sense.
Canelo should be moving up to 160 but cotto has already taken that step and he has a massive weight disadvantage against martinez but he is still prepared to do it.
Canelo is young and hungry and his loss against chicken, ducking floyd will make him better in the long run..
Floyd schooling canelo is beside the point. Canelo continues to seek out the best fights possible while floyd picks and chooses matchups that suits him .. maidana, seriously? Lol
Everybody said canelo would never fight Trout cuz he's the most avoided fighter yada yada.. canelo called our bluff.. now Lara is the most avoided one and fans thiught canelo wouldnt go anywhere near him.. well he's called the bluff again.. he straight up walked into the gbp office and demanded Lara, he dont want to hear any other name besides lara.. how many fighters do that?
I cant even believe u mentioned cotto. Haha cotto is fighting martinez is a calculated move against an old, inactive fighter coming off multiple knee surgeries.. even then, he tried to gain as much advantage as possible by calling a cw of 159..
U comparing that to Canelo-lara is a joke!
Canelo has good power and hope he beats lara and the fights martinez
Lara will beat Canelo. I think Lara is a bit underrated where as Canelo is way overrated
I saw Lara lose to Carlos Molina. Struggle against Freddy Hernandez and Vanes Martirosyan. And than get dropped twice by Alfredo Angulo. Lara will be competitive against Alvarez. But he'll lose.
Just give the coddled kid his own weight class already.It's a non-title fight at 154 plus/minus one-pound
Indeed.Night before, night after, same night, what difference does it make? Alvarez had ample opportunity prior to Lara agreeing to Smith. Now that he has a date, Alvarez calls him out. Like the kid the flips you the finger after you washed his face in yellow snow for egging your car as you drive away. This obligation that he gets ppv is mind numbing. He should fight Molina in Mexico. They just revamped an arena and that great city has not seen a major in years. Grab the Ibf and then unify with Lara. Oops forgot the two major broadcasters wont leave.
What i find hilarious is that Canelo is still trying to make 154...after his disgraceful weight issue in the last fight....it's pretty clear he can no longer stay at this weight.
Dam some of you are haters! Some of ya are thinking too deep about this..
Canelo called Lara out knowing that he has a fight coming up with Smith? I dont think that has anything to do with it really and it shouldnt be an issue because Smith is a nobody.. Promoters can pay him step aside money or just force him to the back of the line cuz he's a nobody.
Scafer states that in order for Lara to face Canelo, he must drop out of the Smith fight incase he gets injured or someting and they are not willing to take that chance.. Makes sense..
Of course Lara is going to drop out... If lara doesn't accept, he's going to look like a chump after talking all that shit.
Sounds good. And it's easy to say. But it's impossible to happen at the moment considering Molina is still in jail in the US. With an INS hold. Which pretty much means he ain't getting in the ring any time soon
Lara having a fight set means nothing. Cuz it takes place on May 2nd. Alvarez isn't fighting till July. I see no reason Lara can't take both fights. Smith only punches when you double dare him. Lara shouldn't have much problems with him
