    If Lara were to defend against Derevyanchenko now, who wins at 160lbs? Also, how would have that fight gone had Derevyanchenko fought Lara about the time he fought Jacobs a few years back? I think this fight should happen now.

    I'll go with Derevyanchenko on points in both occasions, although Derev usually can't catch a break. It would be extremely close and competitive.

    The good thing, if Derev can pull it off, he can finally win a much deserved title. He is one of the best fighters i ever seen in todays day and age not to win a title. I would also like to see him against Janebeck.

    Sergei seems cooked to me unfortunately.

    Well, he is definitely running out of time. He looked excellent vs Munguia. I actually think that he is better suited for 168lbs, but Canelo has the belts. Maybe he can fight somebody for the IBF if Canelo gets stripped. The guy always gives his best.
