More power, yes. Bigger, yes. Worse defense and weaker chin, also yes. Who's smarter? Lara. More accurate, Lara. Has better wins, Lara
Who is more likely to go 12 with GGG? There's a high possibility that it would be Lara. There's also a good chance of a close, disputed decision with Lara, which is I think what Golovkin afficionados are concerned about. The possibility of Jacobs going 12 with GGG is very low, which is what GGG fans want to see. Look, I get it, it's a subconcious thing, I know it's not even intentional. The defense mechinism is that "Lara is too easy, he'd get it bad" as a response, meanwhile, his fans are good with worse opponents because "No one wants to step in the ring with him"
Lara was losing on the cards against angulo and got dropped twice. He dosen't have a very good chin.
Jacobs is a stiffer test than Lara.
He's bigger and stronger with KO power from both sides.

Lower New York is all mine now. If Lara wants to be a replacement fight should the Jacobs match falls through, I won't object. But Lara most likely gets annihilated and I doubt Golovkin would get much credit.
I'm also no stan, I'm one of his most reasonable fans on this dump.
You're one of the more reasonable GGG stans I admit
Erislandy Lara would be the best fighter GGG could fight. The majority of fans agree that Brook is the best name on his resume right now. That was the #1 ranked WW. I think he should upgrade now and fight the #2 ranked JMW, Lara. In the words of Donald Trump, regarding GGG's resume "What do ya have ta lose?"
I mean seriously, come on, his resume can't get any worse. His next fight can be Jorge Linares at 157lbs and it would be looked at as a top 3 win for him at this point. Lara would really help his resume, especially if like you say, he actualy manages to annihilate Lara, which has never been done before. His fans were perfectly okay with him fighting dudes who have actually been destroyed before, like Rosado, Lemiuex, Rubio, why not Lara? Seriously, why not? When did Lara got beat so bad in his career? Jacobs and Cotto were/are fine in GGG fans eyes (Jacobs, for me, is a fine opponent) and they've been slaughtered before, Cotto by smaller fighters than Golovkin
So is Lara the boogeyman again if Jacobs prevents this fight from happening? :lol1:
Pick someone knew. I heard Andrade said he would want to fight Golovkin over time.
Since when was Jacobs the boogieman, you closet GGG stan?
Lara has always been the boogieman. Jacobs was never, ever the boogieman. I don't post much anymore, so I think it's easy to find quotes of mine where I rejected Lara and now mention Jacobs as the boogieman. If you can find a post of mine changing my views, you can have one block of St. Nicholas Ave, your choice
Always said from the beginning : Jacobs has a weak chin, but his power makes him interesting. His power fortunately came through for him in the Quillin fight, where he underdog to lose by TKO by most, for good reason
Like I stated before Jacobs-GGG talks started, the guy was knocked down by Sergio Mora
Just stay at 160 and fight those wanting to share the ring with him. Doing it all the Hagler and Monzon way.
I wish that were true, that he'd do it the Hagler and Monzon way, and he'd fight Lara, who wants to share a ring with him. Hagler shared a ring with ATG's SRL, Hearns and Duran...GGG won't get in the ring with Lara, who's very good but will not be an ATG, but he's the 2nd best option after Canelo. Jacobs follows as the third best
I've said from the start that GGG's next fight will be in the UK against Saunders or Eubank jr. Both fights I like, not as much as Jacobs, but the money is in the UK right now no denying it.
Keep in mind the proposed Johnson/Klitschko fight is looking to go in December. December might not be a good month for Golovkin to fight in the UK.

I think he should try get khurtside to make him mando for bjs belt. Don't think he have much options for December.
Doesn't work that way. Khurtsidze is only the #1 ranked fighter, he's not the official mandatory yet, and if the WBO orders him as the mando, he'd lose that status the second he fights for another belt. Golovkin only got the WBC belt b/c Rubio held the interim title and they allowed the unification.
I doubt Saunders or Eubank will be willing to fight GGG in December coming off their injuries, Rameriz might feel the same way. Still think if Jacobs is unwilling to sign, make a deal for a split-site double header with Golovkin/Lara and Jacobs/Blanco, with the winners meeting in March on ppv.

Hagler and Monzon would have had to jump straight to 175...stop using them at GGG's crutch..its stupid
Danny Garcia is gonna step in for Jacobs :boxing: lol
At this point I don't care just give us any top middleweight who wants it **** Jacobs If he is going to find a way to squirm out of it.
What can GGG do if Jacobs turns down the purse bid offer? That's just plain stupid and cowardly on Jacobs part.
There's no one left. BJS goes back and forth on whether or not he'd fight GGG. Jr straight up turned him down.
Fight Lara. Give Lara 5 millions. GGG gets paid only 500k. That's what he should do... ha ha ha.
Eh, being serious, maybe Ramirez at 168, Eubank Jr, or BJS. Then Canelo at the end of the year.
Eubank JR would be good.
