I read all this b1tching about canelo a guy coming off a lost not fighting Lara shouldn't all the fingers be pointed at mayweather he is the 154 champion or is he to pssy to fight him as well
This is not a bad fight for fans.Lara would give Mayweather a harder go than Canelo did. & I was really on the Canelo fight.. Lara a slickboxer fighting the slickest of all time would make for a great night of boxing..NOT KHAN
Yes, yes he fought Oscar at full weight and Cotto too and used an invalid catchweight for his 3rd appearance there afterwards. And now he all of a sudden only fights there in big fights and won't fight Lara cause Lara isn't a ppv attraction like the Ghost was.
Your point about Ghost would be valid if that was a jr middleweight fight. If ghost was a jr middleweight in a similar position as he was before the Floyd fight, do you think he gets the fight? I dont. He got the fight by being a ranked guy in Floyds weight class coming off a decent win. If ghost was a jr middle Floyd doesnt go up for him.
where did he fight Oscar at? Canelo also volunteered at one point to come to 152 and the Mayweather camp used that as an excuse whether it be valid or not. That means they cant use that excuse for anyone else at that weight if they were to fightCanelo said he would fight Mayweather at 152 years before the fight happened. The weight a young growing fighter agreed to make years ago has nothing to do with a fight being currently negotiated. When the Mayweather-Canelo fight was being negotiated Canelo wanted to fight at his championship weight of 154 while Mayweather insisted he make 147. They settled on 152 because that was as high as Mayweather would agree to. The catchweight was 100% Mayweather's idea so don't get it twisted. Mayweather fought Oscar at 154 because Oscar called the shots back then and it was 154 or no fight. We all know today Mayweather is the money man and he calls the shots. Mayweather made a big speech about how he fought guys like Cotto at their best most comfortable weight but 152 is NOT Canelo's best weight. Mayweather won't fight Lara and most of us know he won't fight him. If he does fight him it will be at a catchweight of 152 or less.
How is that "All of a sudden"? That's always been the case. He only moves up to 154 for big money fights.
And again with the Guererro comparison.
What don't you understand?
I'll try and make this simpler for you.
He only moves up from WW for big money fights. It's not his weight class. He's very small for the Weightclass. He moves up to Jr MW for big money fights. He's not going to move up for a fight that's not a big money fight.
At 147, that is not the case.
Therefore, the Guererro fight and the Lara fight, are not the same.
Soo, the Lara fight would not be ppv??

I would like to see Lara vs Mayweather over a Khan. I would like to see Lara get paid in a high chess match against Mayweather. It would be interesting to see Lara counter punch and use his legs and Mayweather be the aggressor.
Lara should never be compared with Khan. He is an excellent154 pounder while Khan has looked terrible in his last few fights and has never defeated a 147 pounder in his life. If Khan fought Lara he would lose every round and be knocked out within 3 rounds. Lara is a winner and Khan has become a loser and Mayweather will no doubt put another KO loss on Khan's record.
Mayweather has already proven that the only Jr. middleweight he will fight at 154 pounds is Cotto. Younger, better, bigger Jr. middleweights must get down to 152 if they want to fight the Jr. Jr. middleweight champ, Floyd Mayweather.

Khan has fought the better opposition through out their career. I don't want to sound like a Khan lover because I can't stand the guy. I just think their the same caliber of fighter. Different styles in different weight classes. But to be honest I don't want to watch Floyd chase Lara around the ring for 12 rounds. Lara needs a face first brawler to look entertaining in a fight.
I think Lara would loose to Floyd especially if they fought at a catch-weight like Canelo did but your comparison is ridiculous to say the least. I would put Lara's wins and losses against Khan's any day. Only notable wins Khan has to speak of are Malinagi and Maidana oh and not to mention the great Zab judah -_- end of story even when Khan wins he's looked bad and even when Lara has lost he's frikking won see how their opposite Lara's worst matches have been draws ffs not ambien comercials .
If Khan would have been hit by any of the Punches that knocked down Lara and that by the way he got up from and proceeded to win rounds after, If Khan would have been hit by just one of those not only done the bambi dance but straight up gone to sleep . Lara's chin was tested through fire and survived Khan was tested through bums and turned into butter so no it is no fking way same caliber.

Yes really? I think they are the same caliber of fighter. Good not great just at different weight classes. At least Khan will try and come forward and make a fight. Lara can't do anything going forward.

I have a feeling he might be in the running since they havent announced khan yet. Either him or d Garcia are the other choice since Marcos is out. Also since they're talking about Molina vs Charlo and no mention of Lara after schooling trout
Really??:omfg:

p4p is bs but if May fights khan he loses #1
I don't care how many fans/how much money a fighter has
he's definitly gonna lose his spot if fighters like Bradley/Rigo/Ward keep it up.
lol.... Rigo has like 12 fights on his resume and he wasnt even impressive in all of them, Bradley just almost got decapitated by Prodnikov and most thought he lost to Pac before that. Ward just beat Edwin Rodriguez. Those guys are not over Floyd
To who lmao
