    I don't think that Canelo has to move up in order for some one else to be considered number one at 154.

    Well imo, Canelo is the number 1 guy there. Lara is number 2 and so on and so forth. Charlo is still lagging behind those 2 for me despite his recent performance against jrock.

    This is where Haymon aborts the Lara experiment. The judges ain't awarding this boring Cuban a single round against Andrade.

    Soon ill never have to hear about this track runner again.

    Why is Lara #2 when he's undefeated and beat Canelo?

    Well Canelo was awarded the win against Lara. Me personally I had it a draw, but thought 115-113 either way we're good scorecards. Who did you think won? AND technically Lara was robbed against P-will and really should have 1 defeat on his record.

    You missed my point, While I don't feel at this moment that's he is solid as number one but I wouldn't argue the case. What I am saying that just because he's there doesn't make number one for life. I think that 154 is so talent laden that any given year one of those fighters can catch fire and have a tremendous year maybe even beating him and replacing him at that number one spot.

    I had Lara by 1 point against Canelo and he beat the **** out of Paul Williams which means he's still undefeated with wins over Canelo and Williams. That puts him at #1 for junior middleweight in my book.

    My initial catty comment aside, this is a darn good fight. Yeah I wish there weren't a tune up prior, but it is what it is. But these guys need to be active FFS, so sick and tired of the two times per year max schedule that many have adopted.

    Funny thing is, Lara and Canelo fought at 155, middleweight, so that official loss, shouldn't have affected his 154 rankings. He definitely got screwed over in the Williams fight.

    I felt Lara got lucky vs Molina.
    Fact is that no matter how good his resume, Lara has not done anything since 2014. Beat top contenders in Williams(BS robbery), Trout and Angulo but was one round short of beating Alvarez.
    And since that time?
