For Saul Canelo Alvarez, this fight is another big moment in his ever growing megastar status. Since suffering the first loss of his pro career last year to Floyd Mayweather, Canelo has begun to cement his place as an A side PPV draw on his own. During that time, top dog Mayweather has looked the most vulnerable that we have ever seen him in his close win over Marcos Maidana. If the Mayweather train is running out of steam, it is more important than ever that Canelo be able to pick up that ball and run with it. But he has a tough challenge here, as Lara is a highly skilled technical fighter. This is a tough test for Canelo, but one he needs to pass.
