    Maybe Spinks because Spinks has slowed down a bit, but even though he might beat Angulo(questionable), Angulo is a dangerous fighter and a little more experiance would be a good idea.

      Really? That sucks man, I didn't know that.

        Who does he fight like to you? I think he looks like a cross between Dawson and Judah.
        Well, from the fights I've seen, he seems to stalk more, so he doesn't really remind me of them. They also throw a wider variety of punches on the regular.

        But the way he keeps the high guard, is a southpaw, etc., he kind of reminds me of Winky. He doesn't fight is the high guard as much, but looks quicker and more athletic.

        Just my take.

          He cant fight on the inside and against Angulo he would have to.

          My thing is that Lara is in one of the toughest divisions in boxing.

          Williams
          Martinez
          Cotto
          Foreman
          Dzindiruk
          Henry
          Cintron
          Krkland
          Angulo
          Julio
          Spinks
          Bunderage
          Chaver Jr. (lol)
          Vanes
          Clottey
          Quintana


          I mean seriously Lara is in the right place at the wrong time.

            That's what I meant, he should fight a few JCC Jr. opponents while he builds his reputation, confidence and experience as a pro.

                While I think he's a little bit away from the level of Williams, Cintron, etc., there's some decent prospects fighting in Germany as Well. Guys like N'jikam, Golovkin, etc.

                  Im going to check those guys out. BNow that I think about it isnt Korobov a Junior Middle?? If so add him to the list. That division might be the best iin boxing when these guys get going.

                    I think Korobov is on the middleweight/super middleweight border, but you can add him.

                    I think Golovkin has a thread in the video section, and N'jikam has some videos on youtube.

                      Spinks might be doable I have to see him fight Bundrage, if Spinks has any problems in that fight I would think Lara could get him. I still think they should pull back a little bit and let him gain some experiance against guys like Brewer maybe slowly step it up from here but Brewer is pretty decent.

                      He has good abilities but no need to rush him because that could easily stunt is growth.
