He'll definitely get Canelo win or lose, but once again like I always say you have to salute a Cotto who has full control over his career, win or brutal loss, he still finds a way to be stomping at the top with the big dogs

nothing but respect for Cotto. He getting the big name fights he wants and getting paid. can't hate that.

isnt Lara still fighting Smith on May 2nd?

The Canelo fight should be in August
He can still fight Ishe and then Canelo. 10 weeks is enough to prepare, and it's like Ishe is a world beater. Should be a tuneup for Lara. However, I read that Canelo & Schaefer will be pushing for Lara to drop out of the Smith fight in order to fight Canelo.

Which makes sense. They don't wanna take any chances. Remember, Canelo had a situation like this before where he was all but ready to fight Victor Ortiz, only for Ortiz to get his jaw jacked by Josesito. If Lara somehow got hurt, Canelo would be screwed.

Props to Canelo if this fight gets made. Honestly I wouldn't have thought any less of him if he went after another opponent, because he is still building his brand and clearly is still growing as a fighter. But to take on a guy who presents a lot of the same problems that gave him trouble (Mayweather) shows that Canelo isn't hiding from anyone. :salute:
Lara will have to be on his game. He has elite boxing skills, but he always seems to do something where he lets fighters who aren't as skilled as him get to him. Canelo will have learned a lot from Mayweather and have a reformulated game plan. If Canelo is able to land some good clean shots, Lara very likely could be tasting the canvas. Canelo is also going to get popped, with more heat than Angulo brought, so we'll get an idea of what Canelo has for a chin.
Like it all around.
