I just noticed a few Pactards calling for Floyd vs Lara...WTF?
You are aware Lara is NOT an aggressor, right? He's a counter puncher and so is Floyd, in a sense. This would be a boring ass fight.
Id rather see Floyd vs Cotto 2, instead of Lara run around the ring and getting thoroughly outclassed.
All he does is trash talk Cubans lol. Prob still mad Lara made angulo say no mas
:lol1:
Not only did Angulo quit, he proceeds to bash Lara post fight. Sore losing at its finest.
Donaire v Rigo? (unless you're counting Nonito as Filipino).
:)
If Donaire is to represent the best example for a "U.S. top fighter" I really rest my case... :)
... You'll never see this.
The U.S. top fighters do not fight top guys from the Cuban and "Soviet" schools.
Donaire v Rigo? (unless you're counting Nonito as Filipino).

Floyd wont fight Manny or Bradley, the two most legitimate challengers at 147. People say they don't wana see him fight Khan and personally I wouldn't wana see him fight Maidana, so that leaves 154. AT 154 Lara is a decent fight.
At 154, Floyd's greatest threat is Lara. I'm even more upset at Canelo's team for picking Angulo because Lara beating Canelo would've catapulted him to right where he would want to be in September for the Floyd sweepstakes. I don't think it's an accident that this fight easily sets up more winnable fights for Floyd (Canelo2/Angulo).
It's funny that Floyd's only competitive fights at 147 are Pacquiao and Bradley, yet we won't get those AND at 154, Lara won't be marketable enough. Guess Floyd fans get what they want: Khan/Guerrero-type fighters at ww and Canelo II/Cotto II/Angulo at jmw.
With this kind of planning, Floyd's 0 seems pretty locked.
From a competitive standpoint it's probably the best fight for Floyd from 154 and below. This is strictly speaking as a boxing fan. However, we can't deny it would be a very tough sell and the fight would probably never happen unless Lara were to KO both Canelo and Cotto to make a name for himself. Lara has no name recognition, selling power, appeal (can't speak English), fanbase, and his style would be deemed "boring" in the casual fan's perspective. Would I like to see it? Yes I would, because I feel that Lara actually has a shot to win if there's fair scoring and I always wanted to see Floyd put his skills up against a guy from the Cuban school of boxing. But realistically, I can't see this fight coming together.

Anyone wanting Floyd vs. Lara is not looking for an exciting fight, they just want Floyd to lose. That's the reason why a lot of people watch Floyd's fights hahah but Lara actually has a chance.
Over Khan, yes.
He's had some notable wins lately and is on the cusp. I'm not going to touch the "boring" thing, because people buy these ppvs for all sorts of reasons. Plenty of people buy them knowing full well it could turn out to be boring.
marketability: not much right now, but I imagine him speaking Spanish will help him to endear himself to the segments of the population that understand him...esp to boxing fans who know he is a legit fighter...and those who just like Floyd weekends. In the US well... I'll just go ahead and say it...Floyd has not fought a black fighter in years, and certainly not one who speaks Spanish. while that might be irrelevant to you or I, we know that during the promotion of a fight, a animus builds up in people diffeent emotions start to collide, and they hit that "BUY" button on the PPV.
I havent really thoguht about Lara since Shaeffer said he would have no shot at Floyd, but now that I think back it's kinda intriguing even as a ppv seller.
Lol...Hey Look, Kid is upset.

No I was alert .. Just admiring it . That's all !! You really like baby bottle huh? U think that's real witty ? Lmao
Rather watch a boring ass fight in which Mayweather "can" lose in than an exciting fight where Mayweather puts on a clinic on an undeserving opponent.
Besides, according to Floyd he's better than Ali and SRR so he should have no problem beating most guys now.
thats not fair? haha thats what the stans are thinking there man would get donaired
