I'm sure Lara would be asked about GG in his post Zaveck fight interview. Hope he won't backtrack. Meanwhile, Team GG should start talking to HBO people and express their interest on Lara. The only thing they need is their GO signal. That's it. They can then craft an initial offer like possible dates, venues, etc, then send it ASAP.
At this point, the ball is in Team GG's court.
Doug Fischer reported that K2's wish list is currently
Cotto/Alvarez
Lee/Saunders
Quillin/Jacobs
Tureano Johnson.....
If Saunders wins, then the first three of those options could go bad, though Doug said HBO could potentially give Golovkin a pass to fight for the PBC for one fight vs the Quillin/Jacobs winner (evidently HBO let Pernell do it once on Showtime). I also read Loeffler will check with Hearn on how serious Eubank was on his offer. Bottom line, Lara needs to get nasty about it.
I want the fight too, but I'd suggest putting pressure on Lara to make it happen. Curtis Stevens talked his way into the Golovkin and generated alot of buzz by creating some bad blood. It's still Golovkin's highest tv rating. Lara needs to do some video interviews talking sh*t about GGG, similar to what he was doing to earn himself the fight with Alvarez.

Golovkin has knocked out 21 Middleweights in a row and you guys think a Jr. Middleweight will come up a weight class and have any kind of chance? What a joke, Haymon is his manager as well. This fight has zero chance of being made so it's a waste of time discussing.
I'll be bumping this thread every now and then with the hope that Team Golovkin would consider getting this fight over with.
There's not many options out there for GG, anyway. Canelo and Cotto are giving hints that they won't be fighting GG anytime soon.
Lee I think is stepping up, but I don't think that would be very attractive considering he got beat by mediocre Chavez, who is now with Haymon.
Who else is there other than Lara, who is willing to fight on HBO and Kazakhstan?
The ball is on Team Golovkin's court. I also hope they're reading this. This fight has to happen in 2016.

I hope he does get the fight so GGG will knock his a*s out and end his career so we don't have to watch this boring a*s marathon runner anymore
I want to see the fight as well. Let's just hope Team GG would take Lara's challenge seriously. Cotto/Canelo winner vs GG won't happen any time soon, anyway. They can easily accommodate Lara in whatever they have in 2016.
Like I said, they will run out of options eventually. Unless someone with bigger balls than Quillin, Martinez, Sturm, Ndam, Cotto, Canelo, Ward suddenly appears and knocks on their door. We'll see. The Lara option will always be there. Personally, I'd prefer that they get this over with, then move on, just like what Canelo did.
They managed to pull Willie Munroe out their arses and gullible fans bought into that sh1t so I wouldn't put it past them.
He already did. Tom Loeffler presented the fight to Abel Sanchez and he said no.
Abel publicly said that Willie Munroe was a bigger name :lol1:

How about making this fight in May 2016? What do you think?
Don't worry, Team GG will run out of options eventually. Lara will seep into their consciousness eventually.

This fight needs to be promoted vigorously. Hundred percent of GG bashers have no objection to this fight.
To repeat, the Cotto/Canelo winner won't be fighting GG any time soon.
Team GG should start introducing the Lara fight to HBO and figure out the mechanics of dealing with it. Like, would Lara be able to negotiate without the Haymon connection? We assume he would because of the hints he's been spreading, ie, willing to fight in Kazakhstan, etc...
Soon Team GG will run out of options. They might as well welcome the Lara option.
I won't forget the angulo fight so quickly. He went down twice and was easily hit by a slow brawler like angulo. GGG's jab, power and ability to cut off the ring would result in a knockout by round 7.
That fight was a war, yeah Lara went down, but he got up and broke Angulo's face. Angulo was never fought at that level again. Also don't forget, Schaeffer told Lara he couldn't rehydrate more than 164lbs, but then Angulo came into the ring at 174lbs, then they had a small ring, and the inspector prevented Lara's corner from putting water on him to cool off between rounds. Lara's own promoters tried to get him to lose.

If Lara is the key to GG's legitimacy, then by all means make the fight happen. That's why Team GG needs to start focusing their attention on this one fight. Even if Cotto or Canelo intends to fight GG, I think many would agree the fight won't happen right away. We'll probably talking months or a year. So what would Team GG do in the meantime? Stay inactive and just wait for these guys' decision? That would be impractical.

This fight has to happen. GG bashers all agree that a Lara fight will legitimize GG. (There's a poll that lists all these bashers' names.)
The media needs to help out in making this fight happen. Fight between GG vs Cotto/Canelo winner is not going to happen, anyway. They might as well focus on this fight.
Doesn't matter nobody takes Stevenson seriously. Like MW champ Cotto, SWW champ Floyd, Baldomir, Erdei etc
alot of people take stevenson me & john david jackson included
who said he knows that stevenson can end the fight with his left hand
and mayweather is RETIRED stop mentioning him
