floyd vs lara at 152?

[Derranged]

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

Ya'll still talkin bout him! Yall still talkin!!!

Sounds like a probable argument.

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.

I'd prefer 154 of course. But I just mean Lara won't have any weight struggles if its at a cw. He wears baggy shorts on the scales.

But why would a catchweight be needed at all. And even worse, why would anyone consider it acceptable??

Because I want Lara to get the fight and if it means agreeing to Floyd's ***** ass demands than so be it.

Fight isn't likely to happen but if it does it has to be at 154. There's no reason to have it at 152.

I would love this fight!! Just not at a catch weight. Him nor his idiot manager made a Boxing scene article saying they will go down to 150.

The only thing Lara has in his favor is the interim title. So it all depends on whether Floyd decides to vacate or defend it.

Raised an eyebrow at "152".

Didn't you hear, 152 is the new 154!

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 .

Understand that that's what kills Mayweather's whole "thing". Everyone wants him to fight these "threatening" fighters like Lara who brings no money or legacy upside, yet you still say you think Mayweather would win. Which simply means that after the fight, it would be as if it never happened and everyone will be calling for Floyd vs another "threatening" opponent.

Floyd has an approach to boxing that is about being the best at his game vs "training for his opponent's style". Everyone trains to fight Mayweather. Mayweather trains for his own execution and to make others fight his fight. He makes guys look ordinary and the public then bashes his opponent for being ordinary.

I've learned that the only fight casual fans have cared about (despite the 2.2 million buys) has been Mayweather/Pacman. We're hardcore fans here. But those buys and a lot of people live in attendance are casual fans, celebrities, etc who come out for the big fights. Those casual fans know DLH and Pacquiao. Canelo was a compelling story to tell with a great promotion.

Lara brings nothing but another win for fans and writers to dismiss after the fact. Pacman brings closure to both of their careers.

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

152 would be fine. Lara only rehydrates to 160.

Should be at 154. This would be Floyd's 4th fight at that division!

To say that 152 is fine because Lara hydrates to a number that is less than, example, Canelo doesn't mean that he will still be at his best at 152. That is like saying, Floyd only re-hydrates a few pounds so he is OK fighting at 140. Last time I checked the limit is 154. Floyd holds a title there, so I think it's time he defends it at the limit.
