Erislandy Lara v Ramon Alvarez

[Ron Swanson]

Lara seems to have been around forever and is always stuck with being one of the best at light middle. I don’t think he was ever considered #1 at that weight through his whole career. He has never seemed to get better or worse. He is the same as he always was. A good fighter who just can’t reach the very top.

Either way, he is probably past his best. It’s for Charlo, Harrison, Hurd, Williams to decide right now. With Munguia being a fraud and up and comers to be determined.
