Comments Thread For: Lara: I Want To Fight Both Charlos, GGG - Thurman or Garcia at Catch-Weight

The excuse back then was they're sharing the same trainer doe. That was echoed by their ardent fans in these forums. Needless to say, what's the excuse now?

Yeah, it would be fantastic if those same posters who echoed such excuse
come out in the open now and say they're just being worshippers, not real fans.

And I don't even know why some fans even legitimize such excuse.
Because here was Spence who got asked if he's willing to fight Jermall
when he moves up, and quickly said yes and can based it on business decision or
something to the effect.

Man how I wanted Lara to just disappear and not come back. But how can that happen when nobody even in his own camp want a piece of him and make him disappear? Lara's high maintenance wife is happy. He's got yearly pension in substantial amount showcasing fights in horrible mismatches. Why complain?

Well I doubt GGG comes back down to 160 after Canelo, win or lose and I'm sure he knows that. And him mentioning anything to do with Garcia should show his actual intent. Doubt any of these fights come to fruition though.

Garcia is a top 5-10 fighter at welterweight - he can dish it out at 147 but he can't go all in on his offence because he can't take the power at 147 - he was a great 140lb fighter. Moving to 154 is a dud move that will just accentuate his problems at 147. The moment Garcia challenges himself at 154, say against Lubin or even Tony Harrison, he'll lose badly - long before a fight with Lara can be made.

Spence said he would be willing to fight JERMELL (154), not JERMALL (160).

There was a time when I wanted to see Lara vs. Jermall Charlo, but not now! The only people I want to see Jermall Charlo fight is David Benavidez, or David Morrell Jr.! Lara should fight Boo-Boo Andrade, or Carlos Adames!

Lara has ALWAYS been a favorite of mine. I defended him countless times over the years when a lot of u guys just wanted to talk Sht.

Again Lara is pretty much calling out everybody and none of these guys are likely to fight Lara imo.

That being said, Lara is getting kind of old.

Lara also mentioned in another thread that he's honing on his inside skills,
which is rare to see fighters admit their weaknesses. Which means it's true,
he'd rather stay on the ropes and do nothing because he's scared to get
countered like he got KD'd twice like in the Angulo fight. But credit to him he doesn't clinch.
So you can see now why certain fighters would rather clinch. They have no inside skills, bottom line.
Jermell Charlo got wobbled twice on the ropes trying to counter Castano. He avoided the ropes in the rematch.
That's why even the so-called best lack inside skills.

Calm down there, cowboy. You KO'd Spike O'Sullivan.....S-P-I-K-E O'-S-U-L-L-I-V-A-N

My guy champion4ever had to remind me Lara and Charlo have the same trainer - still want to see that one though.

Was hoping he would mention Munguia. Also a good fight I think, Lara is still a good test
