Is Erislandy Lara as talented as Guillermo Rigondeaux?

Great matchup not too far away, i'm sticking with my original prediction that Canelo will TKO him late or at least win a decision but I keep getting a feeling this fight could be a repeat of Rigondeaux vs Donaire because of the styles...

How good is Lara and who wins this fight?

BQ: Your winner of Lara-Canelo vs your winner of Cotto-Martinez, who wins?

    Lara is decent and fast, but has a glass chin and easy to hit. Angulo was winning until a glove cut his eye. BQ: Canelo and Martinez

    No way. Lara is very easy to hit & is really predicatable. I don't see what people see in Lara. He's nothing special.

    As far as talent goes Rigondeaux has more than Lara or Gamboa. I don't like any of them though.

    I think Canelo can win by stoppage. It's very possible. I would hope he does so the loser "fans" won't cry robbery after he wins if goes to the Score cards

    Rigo is very fast, especially his hand speed.

    I'd expect Martinez to beat the winner of Lara vs Alvarez.

    No, Lara is a good, slick fighter but hugely overrated in terms of being elite.

    Hell no. Not even close.
