    Eh, not when it comes to Lara and DeCubas it's not. Like I said, he could've chosen to move up earlier, but he was content on fighting Canelo's brother and the great Vendetti. There's no guarantee he would've moved up if offered the chance. He was asked back in 2015 if he would fight at 160 and he said "No, 154...154...154." Yet guys at 160 are accused of ducking him, when he had no intention of moving up, until years later.

      You know, your right. I seen him fight good size guys and just assumed they were 160 like Paul williams & Jarret Hurd. Charlo most definitely avoided him since 2008!

        I don't remember he say no, I remember he wanted to fight ggg but never materialized. I really don't know the reason why not, but he was willing to move up for Golovkin. Maybe I missed it.

            Those fights were still at 154.

              Or I can use that money to buy a good video game I'll actually enjoy.

                Why is Danny getting a shot at a MW title?

                This is just not even worth watching and I am a big Danny fan.

                Even worse that this is a PPV.

                  Whoa, that's not the whole picture...

                  Eimantas Stanionis vs Keith Thurman and Erislandy Lara vs Danny Garcia planned for December 9th
                  Eimantas Stanionis, Keith Thurman, Erislandy Lara, and Danny Garcia have all been inactive in 2023

                  Now does that make it better? I'm good, if punk azz Thurman actually fights Stanionis! "Let Us Pray!"​

                    Yep, a stacked card does indeed make it better. But let’s be honest, when we had HBO BAD or the height of both HBO Championship boxing or Showtime Championship boxing, remember how exciting those cards were at their height?
