      I think it should be at 154 and it would be a very interesting fight. I want to see it.

      Problem is, as you indicated, it brings no money. I don't think the powers that be would even allow it on PPV.

        Stylistically. But Lara needs to beat Trout, Canelo or Molina.

        152 would be fine. Lara only rehydrates to 160.

          no need for a catchweight in this one
          Lara is Floyd's most threatening opponent right now
          but Floyd's not gonna stay at JMW or ever face Lara anyway
          would give this to Floyd 60-40, Lara could definitely beat him
          Floyd wouldn't take the risk though
          Lara's gotta settle for Molina 2 or Angulo 2, preferably Angulo

            Should everybody who fights Mayweather at JMW have to be 2 pound below the ACTUAL weight?

            Cmon now, it was bad enough catchweighting Canelo...

              That's why there shouldn't be a cw. The reason Floyd made Canelo lose was because there were times he's blown up to 170 on fight night or so the story goes. And I still didn't like the idea of that cw.

                You dig me *****aaa, no way a unified champ should be defending his title at a catchweight, that's some BS. And in all honesty, at this stage, Floyd can fight anyone and draw a PPV audience, it obviously won't be on the same level as the Canelo fight, no fight can be, unless my dawg, the real G mayweather banks on fighting manny.

                In terms of styles I can't see how Lara can even come close to beating Floyd. Ye the cubatas a decent boxer but he aint all that strong, he aint got power and he aint a superb technician, a good one, just not on the level needed to get close to beating Floyd. Its the way it is.

                  The bold makes no sense. Maybe we can get reloaded in here to explain why it would.

                    Floyd struggled with Judah for the first 4 rounds and Lara doesn't fall apart. I believe Floyd would win but Lara would make it look good .
