Golovkin vs Lara

I want to see Lara himself say some of these things during an interview and not his manager tweeting ****. I know it'll be in Spanish (since he can't speak or write English) but then we'll know how serious he is about a fight. We'll know how serious he is about a fight when Tom Loeffler presents him with a real offer which so far he has never tried to do

So after last night @GGGBoxing will never fight me and I don***39;t blame him I would make him look worse than @Canelo #TeamLara #Truth— Erislandy Lara (@Laraboxing) May 17, 2015 I want to see Lara himself say some of these things during an interview and not his manager tweeting ****.

Lara could win if he would be able to move around alot and get golovkins respect with his power. But if he gets caught with one good punch he might get knocked out, thats the problem That's the way for him to get stopped. Doesn't matter how good someone is able to move around, Golovkin will cut them off. And we saw how much Lara was bothered by Canelo's body shots. GGG's are much harder and will definitely stop him from moving so much. As people have said, the best way to beat Gennady is the way Ward fights. And also, Lara may have a good 1-2, but it's going to take much more than that. Don't get me wrong, I want to see this fight, but it's going to end the same.

4 pages on a fight that will never happen? What a waste of energy. Lara will never fight anywhere but PBC again and his next fight is on the lowest of the PBC shows, Spike. Hardly a show of confidence by Haymon. Instead of fantasizing about him fighting GGG, you should be thinking of him fighting the Charlos or Andrade. Let him fight Martirosyan or Molina and turn those draws into wins. There are plenty of boxers in the top 10 JrMW ranks that he has yet to fight. He should not try to mess with someone who can very well end his career.

Lara could win if he would be able to move around alot and get golovkins respect with his power. That's another intriguing part of this match-up: Lara has good power, one of the best southpaw 1-2s in boxing, enough to potentially dissuade Golovkin from coming forward all the time, but he seldom displays it unless he's in the trenches (eg. Williams and Angulo). It was very interesting when Stevens backed Golovkin up and even landed a few clean shots. That's the only time I've seen Golovkin pause, slightly wide-eyed, and not in a rush to respond. Besides Stevens, no-one has had the power to get Golovkin's respect. Too bad Andy Lee is injured and has Saunders-Eubank II obligations...

Well thats just youre opinion, you guys act like GGG is unbeatable. He is beatable. Just like anyone else. Lara also has over 300 amatuer fights of experience. Lara isn't that guy though.

Lara would land some decent shots but get dropped multiple times early. I think GGG would carry him for a few rounds to make it interesting prior to KO'ng him cold around the 5th.

It's a classic boxer vs pressure fighter matchup, my favorite type. I don't see how it can't be good and why people would think it would be some boring marathon. GGG isn't a flat footed fighter like Canelo. If GGG can't catch Lara and make an interesting fight out of it like Angulo managed, GGG isn't really the guy people say he is. Tom & Jerry is one of my favorite cartoons, so I'm not trying to belittle the match-up. Lara will be sticking and moving all night, setting the occasional trap while GGG will chase him into corners and force him to engage. I want to see this match-up just so Lara can finally show what he's really made of. He seems way too content with his lackluster performances as of late, and I think 3G will push him to the limit. Lara will either grow before our eyes or he'll get bulldozed. Either way, it'll be an interesting fight.

Golovkin vs. Lara is a mismatch. Golovkin needs real tests, if they exist in his weight class.

This thread needs to be stickied because this topic keeps coming up in other threads. Golovkin vs. Lara would look like an episode of Tom & Jerry.

Lara is A level, did you forget lara got back up and tkod angulo?. he outboxes GGG You're an idiot

Lara is solid....and that's what he is for GGG...a solid TEST that I would favor GGG in...Lara got ran down cornered and dropped by Perro....plus that Nelo pressure had him uncomfortable...I think GGG brings what Perro and Nelo brought times three...that said, I still wouldn't be surprised if Lara outboxed him and got the upset....GGG got a few leaks in his defense game so there's always a chance of him being beaten as his comp level rises

Lara straight up schools him Angulo caught him many times, so why would Golovkin - a bigger and better fighter in all ways - not finish him off in less than 12?

Haymon has some weird sense of loyalty to Quillin. Which is commendable in some ways, but when you're selling the dude as one of the faces of your new network TV brand.... Nothing weird about it. Haymon cost Quillin his biggest payday and probably the biggest payday he will ever have the opportunity to get and in return gave him an undercard fight where he came in overweight and paid a penalty. So Quillin is still about 1.1 million in the hole and Haymon probably feels bad about it. Nah. Who am I kidding. Haymon would do anything for a buck and screw anyone for his own agenda. Never mind. :)

Loeffer already said no to Lara.

In truth, Lara doesn't deserve shit after that stinker against Alvarez. But it's the only competitive fight I can see being made, since neither Quillin nor Jacobs are going anywhere near Golovkin. Or hey, maybe they'll throw Ishe Smith in there to keep him busy?

at least lara is headlining a card against delvin rodriguez. something that quillin has never done yet he claims to be a huge star...

It would be the same as last night. GGG overwhelms lara. Lara will be forced into a inside fight where he will have some moments but will get slowly broken down.
