      Lara is really good that's why they won't match him up against Canelo on PPV.

        No that isn't why.

        It's because he's a high risk low reward fighter.

        no one's ever heard of him outside of the small Cuban community and some hardcore fans. He won't sell anything, he has no strap all he offers is a good fight that most casual fans will find boring. Aside from credibility from the boxing community he gains nothing...

        If Lara was a big name and could actually draw, the risk would be worth taking.

          Ahhh, the good ol business of boxing. Bring up ginger, feed him stiffs, shot fighters & lightweights, then basically hand him a title, call him a champion & have him defend against more no-hopers. Then turn around & say the other elite guys have no fanbase therefore the fights won't happen. Because he needs to headline his own ppv's. Dunn really appreciates this thanks.

            it doesn't matter if you agree with it or not. Lara isn't worth the risk at this time. Mayweather is by far better and Canelo called him out because Mayweather actually has a fanbase.



            why isn't Martinez fighting Pirog or Golovkin but he's been calling out Chavez jr?

            can't wait to hear this...you'll find a way to twist it with another biased condescending post

                this x 1000 ^^^^^^^

                nothing more nothing less!!

                  But wait, there is a glaring difference between Martinez & ginger isn't there?? Martinez actually has beaten top notch comp, hasn't he?? Martinez did take the middleweight title from the (real) middleweight champion right?? Martinez does have a realistic ranking (top) five of active fighters doesn't he?? So maybe, just maybe, he's earned the right to a big money fight against a star fighter, no??

                  Meanwhile ginger has beaten no one, no champion, no prime elite fighter, isn't realistically ranked anywhere, no legit title defenses, obviously pampered & protected, but is calling out Floyd?? But you compare that pampered babied, hand a title kid to someone that's earned his 1st ppv appearance & have the nerve to act like it's the same thing, ok.

                    in other words, one of your favorite fighters can duck all of the top guys in his division and cherry pick the guy with the biggest name in his division,

                    but the fighter you hate can't.


                    gotcha

                      Nope, Martinez has earned & deserves his 1st ppv appearance, ginger has earned nothing, get that.

                      If he's earned it, tell me how, I'll wait.
