Can we get a Floyd vs Lara fight?

You do realize this would be one of the most boring fights in boxing history dont you.... It would look like a fast paced sparring session hardest hit of the fight would be an accidental head butt I agree. I thought I'd never see another thread demanding this fight, but since Lara fought and won last night, I shouldn't be surprised. This fight won't happen, because nobody is paying to see Lara fight on PPV.

I love chess matches and this would be a chess match for the ages. The thinking mans fight. Pure skill, technical prowess, elite tactics. "Boxing is about hit and not get hit", right? So why aren't we demanding this fight from the best 2 technical fighters at 154? Jr. Middleweight Limit: 154 pounds Floyd Mayweather Jr. CHAMPION FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. Country: U.S. Record: 48-0-0 (26 KOs) Ranking: This Week: C | Last Week: C | Weeks On List: 166 Title: RING, WBC, WBA jr. middleweight; RING, WBC, WBA welterweight Erislandy Lara ERISLANDY LARA Country: Cuba Record: 21-2-2 (12 KOs) Ranking: This Week: 2 | Last Week: 2 | Weeks On List: 210 2 That skill, that technical brilliance, the artistry, the sweet science!!! http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/abr.gif You do realize this would be one of the most boring fights in boxing history dont you....

Pretty funny how "Lara is something that GGG has never seen before". But when you mention that Floyd should have faced Lara at 154, considering Floyd never fought anyone like Lara, and its, "oh, well, that would be a boring fight".

Trying to deflect from GGG's duckjob vs Lara I see. Tell Decubas to do something, not just tweet. :D

Any more reasons why this fight has never been demanded by so-called boxing fans? Trying to deflect from GGG's duckjob vs Lara I see.

This is actually the best fight out there for floyd. Much better than berto or khan.

They say that so they can validate being a Floyd or lara fan. Even though being a fan of theirs is just that same reason Mexicans support other Mexicans, they support their your own kind. Ive heard it over and over again from Floyd fans that they love him because they are purist, when they don't even know what it means. Those same fans would be loving Floyd even if was a puncher/brawler and say they love him becauses hes a true fighter. There is nothing Pure about Lara's boxing. He just moves and runs and gets on his bike to avoid getting hit, and then he will occasionally punch back. Thats not pure boxing. Pure boxing is to hit a guy then make your opponent miss you then punish the guy immediately for missing you. Not run, dance, run then occasionally hit. Lara style is nothing pure. Floyd can pull it off well but Lara NO. ... "Floyd can do this"... "Floyd can do that"... But Floyd doesn't fight Lara... (purist or not...)

he is not using his name, he is been trying to fight him for the past 2 or 3 years, fighting Lara will be ggg first real test... Ummm No. GGG has fought solid comp. Haterz gonna hate. Must be the skin color

Where are the boxing purists? (wink wink) Why are they not demanding this fight? This is a super chess match starred by two slick fighters. (wink wink) We need to promote this fight. Who cares about casual fans? Make it happen. We're demanding the Berto megafight. What more do you want from us?

Good match up, I'd watch it, but no way Floyd has the balls to fight Lara imo, he'll duck Lara same way he ducked Khan.

Why do you have to be a purist to prefer Lara over Berto, even Khan? ... maybe because the Cuban style is often labelled as "purist"? :)

The boxing purist in me would much rather see this matchup than Floyd vs Berto or Khan. But it's all wishful thinking. Why do you have to be a purist to prefer Lara over Berto, even Khan?

Lara is not trying to fight GGG, he is just using his name for the free media attention. He is not as stupid as his fans and knows very well that he cannot fight on HBO. If Floyd was to fight Lara, it should be on PPV and promoted as a cure for insomnia. A fight guaranteed to put even the most hyper of individuals to sleep almost immediately. They could package the video and sell it in pharmacies as a sleep aid.he is not using his name, he is been trying to fight him for the past 2 or 3 years, fighting Lara will be ggg first real test...

Your opinion that Lara will be embarrassed is just that, an opinion. it isn't a fact. What is a fact is HBO controls if this fight gets made. What is also a fact is there is no impediment to Lara fighting on HBO, other than your opinion that Haymon will not let Lara. How about Team GGG just make an offer. If Haymon or Lara turns it down, nothing left for me to say. If HBO or GGG turns it down, be an adult, call them on it and watch GGG take on the DWOTY or GMOTY instead. Lara is the one who supposedly is looking for the fight so it is in his hands to get clearance from Haymon and then to make the approach to HBO to get accepted to fight on their network. Once this is done, they can approach Golovkin's people to see if they are interested. If K2 or GGG refuses, then the blame falls to them and I will be glad to call them on it. But it is not their responsibility to solve any problems Lara may have in fighting on HBO. That is entirely up to Lara to solve.

Lara the southpaw who stands 5 9" with the 74" reach vs Floyd who is 5 8" with the 72" reach. Wonder why they suddenly don't care to see the chess match now? They only want Floyd in chess matches against guys who don't play chess... Lara simply beats Floyd to the jab... easily... And maybe even drops him in the process. :)

That would be so exciting.

No I don't want to see the most boring boxing match of 2015
