Comments Thread For: Erislandy Lara not thinking of retirement at 41 years old

[MalevolentBite]

Boxing is in the decline in a few divisions. He can probably go on for 6 more fights or another 3 years before he taste another defeat if he stays away from something young and dangerous. Definitely building up an hall of fame career.

I doubt Adames would be excited to unify with Lara.

For me, Lara has been one of the most frustrating fighters to watch over the years; but at the same time, I still love to watch him box. One of the best I've seen and has somehow emerged as one of my favorites of the past 10 years

Lara vs Paul Williams seems like a lifetime ago.

Time goes real fast.

I had money on Lara for that fight. Terrible robbery.

What is strange is that in his old age he has started knocking people out. Five of his last six fights are stoppages. Some might say it is the quality of his opposition at 160 lbs.

He's fought absolutely no one in 5 years or at 160. If he had started his career fighting these guys he would be wilder.

Lara vs Errol Spence to try n build a Spence Crawford 2 @ 160. Crawford loses to canelo for 50m why not retire with a plausible win and belt another weight class vs Spence in a rematch no weight excuses.

Lara vs Spence age vs rust would make interesting bud is chasing his 50-60m canelo check why not see if Spence is capable of 160

Its because he has gone up in weight and sitting down on his punches fighting lessor competition which is what you eluded to, Lara is an elite fighter and this allows him to pull this off in the twilight of his career.
