Lara vs Floyd Needs to Happen!

[darius45]

Lara is the only guy available that has the boxing IQ to give Floyd problems. Lara has the REACH (Lara will actually have the reach advantage vs Floyd), the speed, and the incredible technical skills to match Floyd. He has the timing, he's hard to hit, he's a great counter-puncher, and he's a great athlete... He's everything that Floyd is but a southpaw. Khan is a joke of an opponent at this point, and Thurman won't be able to outbox Floyd... If Floyd could avoid Manny's power, he'll avoid Thurman's... Most importantly, Floyd has a bigger reach and speed advantage vs Thurman.... Floyd might only slightly edge out Lara in speed. It will be a close chess match.. Lara is a real 154lb as well, Floyd won't be able to impose his physicality on Lara.

As a fan of the sweet science I'd watch any fight but if you seriously think the mass audience will pay for this you are mistaken. Lara will not be getting the Mayweather shot even if you think he beats Floyd as it's not feasible lol.

Nah. No offensive variety, no body attack, underutilized right hand. Floyd puts on a clinic.

What would be Mayweather's motivation to face someone like Lara of this last match?

[Scott9945]

A difficult opponent with absolutely no fanbase? Sorry, not happening.

They would put on a boxing clinic on each other. It would be 12 rounds where no one lands a punch. 120-108 on all cards for both fighters.

Lara has a good shot. He should have the size advantage for a change.

Floyd may land one more punch per round than Lara in a fight where maybe 5 total punches land per round. Whatever it is, it won't be a clinic.

The BoxingScene message board's latest "he will give Floyd Mayweather problems after one good performance" contender is......Erislandy Lara!!!!
