Why do Team Golovkin refuse to acknowledge Lara's constant calling to fight?

Trout is absolutely right, Lara has indeed been calling Golovkin out for almost a year now to no avail. Why does Team Golovkin refuse to acknowledge him and his requests to fight? Lara is considered by many, an elite fighter. Sure, he currently fights at Jr. MW, however, he has stated multiple times that he's willing to go to MW to fight the champ, Golovkin. He even went as far as saying he'll go to Kazakhstan to fight him there. That's a true warrior. Will Team GGG respond or will they continue to avoid him? I mean, it's not like he's got bigger fish to fry anytime soon. Cotto won't fight him, Canelo isn't ready just yet, and he already avoided Andre Ward. So who's left? Lara is looking better as an opponent with each passing day.

It would be a horrible fight. Maybe they could they could do a race, run against each other, see who's faster. My money is on Lara.

What did Lemieux or Monroe Jr or even Stevens do to "deserve his shot"? SO TELL US HOW the fight gonna be made?? we got hbo vs pbc thing, lara's coach say the not moving up soon and last of all is purse/money problem. really is pointless to talk about this match-up, too many road block and too little money to be gained

Umm, because he's irrelevant? He had his shot, and got beat by Canelo. Gotta earn that fight if he wants it. What did Lemieux or Monroe Jr or even Stevens do to "deserve his shot"?

Well yeah, Lara shelled up and ran vs a much less threatening opponent, after calling him out for years. You think hed show more mettle against Ggg? Doubtful. Either way you should watch this short instructive video. Let me know what you think! I acknowledge Lara has stunk it up on several occasions. His one dimensional style of high guard, jab and straight left cross, isn't hard to overcome, hence the reason he struggled with Molino, Martirosian, Angulo etc. But, with Golovkin fighting guys like Monroe, washed up Geale, Macklin, Rubio, Lemeux etc. He might as well fight Lara.

I dont really see why GGG gets so much stick for this. Lara is a mediocre draw, from the division below and is shouting from across the promotional divide. GGG/K2 have no reason to think this fight is makeable, no reason to believe it would do good numbers or even improve GGG's resume that much. The Jacobs fight makes sense to work with Haymon for. Jacobs is a MW title holder, coming off a good win. Lara is a good world level JMW who hasnt to my knowledge fought at MW before. The Ward situation looks much worse for GGG/K2 imo. That was one of the biggest fights in boxing, they were both on the same network. Dont know who ducked who, or who stalled negotiations, but the fight could and should have happened.

it's a good fight in theory but how is it going to get made? it's pointless to discuss, at least until lara does something that makes the fight unavoidable, like beats jacobs or something like that. let's not forget that he's done nothing lately and lost his last big fight

I did, but none of that changes the fact that this fight will take place at whatever weight Canelo wants it to take place. That's the type of leverage you get when you sell 2.2 mil and 900k on PPV compared to 97k on PPV. :lol1: :lol1: betaaaaa And you support it :rofl:
