    I don't know how to rate this guy, he looks great sometimes then looks like a statue other times. How you rate him?

    Not very highly, it depends on who his opponent is, whether he looks good or not.

    He struggled with Molina and Vanes because of their awkward styles.

    He tried to ape Sergio's Williams KO about 200 times but could not,but otherwise dominated him.

    Dominated Freddy Hernandez but couldn't KO him yet Berto got him in round 1 of their fight.

    Trout fought the wrong fight, he should have got in close and smothered him like Molina, very dull fight.

    He couldn't run from Angulo got dropped twice on his way to losing, got lucky, lucky punches do happen.

    Very overrated.

    He's boring as hell. I hope to see Canelo kicking his ass.

    I believe Lara will be his absolute best in this fight. Canelo maybe too. A convincing win for either has them easily at the top of 154 ... well... 155 anyway.

    I reckon Canelo is going to beat him, he will hurt Lara.

    The question is, will Canelo come to fight?

    Not as good as Canelo. That's for sure.

    The guy that gets dropped twice by the very same guy who lost every round and got TKO'd by Canelo in the 10th round, is actually better than Canelo? :patsch

    I fail to see the logic. I guess we'll have to wait until July for big mouthed haters like you to eat crow. I guess you'd also rate the Charlo brothers ahead of Alvarez too wouldn't you? :rolleyes:

    Did you forget about the Trout fights? Pretty coincidental since it negates your argument. Lara has a stronger resume than Canelo. He should of course because Canelo is only 23. For his age Canelo has a great resume.

    Uh did you see their fights with Austin Trout? And Canelo also has wins over Williams and Vanez that he was robbed in.

    and no, why the **** would I rate the Charlo twins over Canelo who hasn't done ****? I actually like Canelo a lot. Nobody would object to my rankings
