Ward too big, Lara different company,weight class.
Triple G's people were saying they were willing to fight anyone, including dropping to 54 or moving up to 68. So they kind of asked for this type of response when Ward is waiting for a fight and instead Golovkin is fighting Andy Lee.
The way Golovkin is being matched, it seems that his trainers lack confidence in him. Sooner or later he will have to fight someone. When he was coming up part of the hype was based on how he stopped Bute in the amateurs. But that was big when Bute was champ and unbeaten. GGG needs new hype and is not going to get it fighting fringe contenders.
Lara would run from floyd? .......... didn't he stand and trade with angulo often? didnt Lara STOP angulo? lara is the bigger guy and has the bigger punch. i think both exchange time fighting backwards, both are excellent at it. problem is, outside of us at NSB not too many know of lara! haha
No? he got caught on the ropes. Not the same thing. He would have "tapped and ran" all night if he got away with it. I re-watched this fight a couple of days ago.
Yes, he got the stoppage but it was somewhat fortuitous, I had Angulo a point up at that juncture.
Maybe he wouldn't run from FMJ, but he'd actually be well advised to bring FMJ onto his front-foot since he's more comfortable on his backfoot.
He never said he wants to fight at 154 often, he does it for money fights. Look at his fights there. One was against cotto big numbers....the other 2 are the 2 biggest earners in PPV history. If there comes another fighter to 154 who brings that kind of money, I'm sure he'd do it.
You mean millionaire Floyd is justified not fighting Lara, but GG, who, like anybody else, wants money fights, is ducking the guy who runs all night in every fight he's in?

I dont think that's any different for GGG, who'd only go outside of MW for big money fights whenever they said it. But it's not like he's lineal reigning champ at 168 avoiding the best challengers. Hell he's a paper titlist nobody wants to touch in his division, and afaik he hasn't passed on any legit offers even 154-168
Two defensive fighters isn't necessarily a purist's dream. Lara would run from Floyd who maybe takes a close disputed decision. He's maybe a touch lucky Lara is Cuban and not American or British or he'd be pushed towards the bout.
As it is, no casual wants to see it. The fight never gets made.

Floyd is #1 rated at SWW, unified lineal champ, and whenever he's asked to fight all comers at that weight, he's too small and old.

Wtf? Lara has no business in the same gym as Floyd let alone the same ring. Floyd would thoroughly embarrass him and come pretty damn close to shutting out. Lara maybe eeks out two rounds...tops? Maybe.
The hell is wrong with you people with this Lara and GG shyt. My goodness.
So you think Khan is better than Lara? :wtf1:
GGG would manhandle Floyd, Lara would be a very competitive fight while Khan is utter trash. All you care about is that your god has an unblemished record and makes alot of $. You arent a boxing fan, you're just a hopeless Lemming.

He'd be a tough opponent for Floyd, much better than Khan or Maidana, or even Canelo. Slicker and quicker than any Floyd opponent in a looong time, bigger with reach advantage,southpaw.
Lara calling out both Floyd and GGG who will step up??

They call him out because they know the fight is not going to happen. That's even more disgusting than anything else. They're protected behind this cold promotional war. If they're really serious they would, at least, do something like breaking away with GBP. Just the facade of trying will probably do, but we haven't heard anything like that so far. If you're the one making the challenge then do something.
Ward and Lara were both turned down.................why?
(1) Ward didn't call him out (only flomos claim this).
(2) Lara, Golden Boy don't work with HBO.
This isn't a troll thread. It's the same context as Floyd ducking, except Floyd isn't calling out weight classes of fighters than not fighting them. GGG's team is making him look silly and that's a fact if you follow him at all.

A Mayweather fan is making a thread about ducking lol. Please don't feed the troll.

Bad thread, not sure if serious. So thats how you get your postcount up on this site by opening useless trollthreads? You know the answers yourself. GGG isnt ducking anyone, why would he? Lara is with Showtime, if he is serious he should have his manager call HBO and probably ask Showtime as well. Ward was injured forever and took an easy tuneup fight, now he is calling out Chavez Jr. and said he wants to fight GGG when the time is right. The time is not right now because GGG has unfinished business at 160.
All those Floydlovers who cant handle a guy that is likeable and exciting to watch and would break all of Floyd fragile bones, but since Mr Duckweather is safety first and takes only fights he wins easily this is not happening.
You guys are desperate to make GGG look bad, but he is just getting bigger because of all these huge threads, if youre honest all you do is envy his achievement and his persona in and outside of the ring, because he isnt such an selfish unlikeable a..hole like your god Floyd who is the biggest duck in history.
