    Not very...

    He looks more impressive than he is because he fights in one of the weakest and most boring division in boxing. Seriously, who cares about the baby-Middleweight division?

    It's just a void of hypejobs like Alvarez and bums like Molina and Trout.

    Everybody citing the trout fight should also recognize that styles do indeed make fights. Lara just has Trout's number.

    With all of that being said, even though Lara is a better mans version of trout, Canelo still beat Trout pretty clearly in my eyes. To say otherwise is an indication of hater-aid intoxication. :hey

    Canelo in my lights improved since the scrap with Trout. He's more mature, and probably more versatile. The fight with Mayweather will prove to be an invaluable lesson that will be ingrained deep inside of him. He should be thoroughly prepared to take on a boxer with the craftsmanship of Lara.

    I got Canelo with a decision. Canelo still has the power (although not as much as some of his more unsophisticated apologists would have you believe) to hurt and possibly drop Lara like he did Trout with a single straight right hand.

    Will be a very interesting fight.

    I wouldn't say it's the weakest or the most boring. There are a lot of fighters that are in, and around 154 that make it very compelling. Marquee names such as Cotto, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Sergio, GGG, and both of the Charlo bros.

    It's actually one of the more scintillating divisions of the sport if you ask me. It's no wonder why SHOWTIME is investing so much in this one division. I heard even Curtis Stevens might drop down to 154.

    Lara is an overrated boring runner who's hyped because he's from Cuba the guy has looked like **** in a lot of his biggest fights to date and has shown no signed of being an elite fighter he has shown elite level running skills and a shakey chin though.

    What are you talking about?

    Canelo is not a runner, OK? He's a fighter-boxer.

    Both guys beat Austin Trout so it's gonna be a match-up fight.

    After Canelo dropped trout he gassed himself out and got hurt by a bodyshot toward the end of the round. Canelo lost every round after that. He ran and survived. I hope Canelo comes to fight.
