    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.
    I see what you mean and believe me, I want nothing more than Floyd vs. Pacman. Even now that would be one of the most significant fights in boxing history.

      You know there was an article here around the Ortiz berto rematch where Lara said he would fight the winner and then face Floyd, all at 147!! Lara might have shot himself on the fought as TMT is lurching through all the boxingscene archives

        This is a fight that will never happen, but I'd still favor Floyd.

          not going to happen. As much as I want to see it, Lara just hasn't made enough of a name to get a fight with Mayweather.

            you know the casual idiots would never accept such a match not only that but leave the 154 guys to Canelo to rebound his career against

            I would like to see Canelo finally start to fight the best at 154

              LOL at the "well Lara isn't popular' excuses flying round. Was the Ghost popular?? LOL.

                I'd like to see this fight at 154 after Lara wins 2-3 more bouts

                  Why 2-3? I think he needs 1 big win. Either Trout or Molina.

                  To be honest by the rules of the WBA he should be next since he's the mando. Just like Ghost was.

                    Yes he should. Now the only problem would be the weight.

                      Lara is no prime Judah,Judah was a lot faster and a lot slicker then Lara.Floyd vs Lara is a mismatch for Floyd.
