Boxing needs more fighters like Lara

The guy calls out nothing but the best and wants to fight nothing but the best. He is always open to rematches.he hunts down the young guys whether they are bigger than him and younger than him he still fights these killers .his mindset is so confident he never questions his own abilities. Seeing him fight castano and Hurd made me happy that there are still fighters willing to put it on the line against the young stronger bigger guys. He was willing to fight his stablemates brother Jermell. Lara is the one who reached out to Hurd for unification Lara is the one who rached out to canelo for a fight . Lara is the one who reached out to castano to fight. If he were to retire he would deserve he was always the smaller guy in the ring. Lara dismantled trout like no one else did.Massivley underated guy.Never ducked anyone.

Er okay then, i love how you immediately move the goal posts after i call you out on your drivel. I didn't set a goal post to begin with. I was making the point that instead of GGG fighting Lara, he decided to fight other bums with no following. I wasn't comparing their resumes.

Too bad GGG ducked him. That's pretty ****ing hilarious considering GGG was fighting at 160 and Lara wasn't. LMAO.

Lara’s the man One of my favourite fighters Always Willing to take on anyone,Willing to fight even though he knows the deck will be always stacked against him when it comes to the judges because he doesn’t have a fan base . Case can be made he should be undefeated definitely no more then 1 L to Hurd. The hes a runner or boring excuse is just that ,used by guys who don’t want to see their favourite fighter catch a L by him or in Canelos case take a rematch for his gift in the first fight. I didn’t find it boring when he took Angulos soul , Made Canelo look like a Amateur, Beat Trout like he stole something from him or fought Hurd in the FOTY. But I guess that’s just me

Lara is an idiot. Frolicking at 154. Who knows what fights he would’ve pushed for with mandos at 160. How long did he have the WBA Super for? How come he never exercised his title shot position with the WBA at 160? Waste of time Team Lara did inquire about a ggg fight and promptly got told to piss up a rope

Yes, we need more fighters who talk a big game but really dont put in the work to be great. We need more fighters who do the absolute minimum and then cry when they dont get the decision.

Why should GG and co face Lara when 1) he stinks out the joint 2) he brings no money Risk far outweighs the reward and it makes no business sense for GG. Lara decides to throw some punches in his last two fights and he is Hagler all of a sudden GTFO.. Lara is extremely boring no one is asking him to fight him now...were talking pre-jacobs...heck pre wade and brook....lara would have made alot of sense...but they wanted no part of him

They were more tune ups who posed no threat. As i mentioned, Lara is high risk/low reward and it doesnt do GG any good to face him. There are so many bigger fishes to fry anyway. That's why his resume is **** now because of that thinking.

would have been best name on his resume pre-jacobs....yet he always dismissed him and said "doesnt bring money or fans"...and "get in line at 160 like everyone else"...lol even though lara was a known name and a #1 ranked fighter 1 division south and had been headlining shows on premium and network tv Exactly, they had no excuse not to fight Lara. He has headlined more shows than all of his opponents pre Jacobs and was in a ppv. His resume would look a lot better with Lara on it.

yes we need more boxers that do nothing but one-two all fight long and then complain every time they dont do enough to get the decision. gtfoh. No sht huh.. fighters like Lara we can do without. TS sounds like a noob so it’s understandable.

Lately Lara has been fighting the best. But in the past he has defended his title numerous times against guys who did not deserve a title shot so let's not pretend he always fights the best.
