Can we now get Floyd vs Lara please?

[Light_Speed]

What I see is a whole bunch of excuses being made for Lara's poor performance against a come forward brawler.

It kills me man, it really does. Excuses after excuses, and Lara has shown these vulnerabilities in the past so why are these people oblivious to them?

I'm a Lara fan too but I keep it real, it was a disappointing performance, he should have dominated without tasting the canvas once let alone twice. But unlike these other Lara fans, I don't have any nationalistic bias. These dudes will say something positive about Lara no matter what.

Lara dominates : "I told y'all Lara would beat the brakes off him! Viva Cuba!"

Lara struggles : "Lara showed so much heart, and the odds were against him, I got tears in my eyes man."

Lara jus went life and death with angulo...you gotta earn yur shot or atleast bring something to tha party...feed lara to trout...im sure austin would eat lara alive after his loss to canelo.

From reading this thread I get the consensus is no. Since that's the case I just hope Floyd fights the guys that make him the most money.

Let's do:

Khan in May (I agree with Sr. that he should just skip Alexander)
Cotto rematch in September (Schaefer mentioned it post fight so this looks to be the direction they're going in)
Garcia in May (He will be a star in this sport by this time)
Canelo rematch to close his career

repeat rinse repeat rinse .... Ellerbe will approve!

Nobody wants to see that fight. Floyd would beat his ass anyway.

You mean you don't want to see the fight because its no push over? This would be a fight for the boxing purist. An extremely high level chess match.

Why do Floyd fans rather see glorified sparring sessions of Floyd & some flat-footed bum with 1 gear?

Some people just care more about All Access and PPV buys

He's a good example why Floyd fans get a bad rap. Personally I think guys like him care more about Floyd's "0" than Floyd does.

He doesn't want to see a fight with Lara but yet wouldn't have a problem with him fighting Alexander, who'd get whooped way worse than Lara would

I actually think this would be great for All Access just because we could get a glimpse into Lara's training camp and life. It would be interesting to hear about his story of defecting from Cuba.

Of course, nobody knows Lara or will want to read subtitles like they would for Canelo, but like Dan said.... this would be a bout for boxing purists and fans of the sport, not riders.

I agree. And what's funny to me is that I would think Floyd fans would be boxing purists and intrigued by him fighting an awkward, slick, well schooled south paw.

There's two different generations of Floyd Mayweather fans. I came up in the "Pretty Boy Floyd" era. It's the new ones who just jumped on because they started watching 24/7 or post-DLH that ruin it.

The match up is so intriguing and Lara could pose real problems for Mayweather. The sad part is GBP wants to pull and TR and shun a guy they can really build up from a boxing standpoint.

Would love to see this matchup but I have to agree with a lot of the posters here when I say that Lara would have to beat someone like Canelo or Cotto to gain more popularity. And therein lies the problem... does anyone see Golden Boy matching Canelo with Lara? Cuz I sure as hell don't. I don't know if Cotto will give Lara a shot. Either way it gets to me how the Cuban fighters aren't getting their due in boxing. Their own promoters seem to want them to lose and the casual fanbase can't seem to appreciate what boxing truly is.
