Floyd Mayweather vs. Erislandy Lara

[Derranged]

LOL. Everybody is split. You have your groups:

The purists who want to see him take on a skilled, well schooled fighter want Lara.

Delusional haters want to see him fight GGG, Ward, Hopkins or Martinez

Pac's army wants to see him fight Pacquiao

Power puncher whores what to see him fight Maidana or Matthysse

UK fans want to see him fight Khan

Floyd fans want him to fight Garcia

And everybody else just doesn't give a ****

I'm a Floyd fan and I want to see him fight Lara or Pac.

I'm still on the fence about him moving up to middleweight, so I don't know about GGG or Martinez. Ward or Hopkins forget it too big and Hopkins will kill himself making anything under 170.

Maidana or Matthysse would be a washout.

Khan fight is a joke.

Garcia should have a few fights at 147 first.

He would just have to box a Piñata it will be Cinco de Mayo afterall.

lol that would be hilarious. Get 1 with some gloves and trunks and were good to go.

Yeah, all the guys calling for middleweights need to stop it. That's ridiculous. I personally wanna see Lara or even Garcia. Khan is a joke bro, I can't believe he's even in consideration for this fight. Especially since he's not gonna fight devon first. Smh

From an entertainment standpoint I would agree he is almost a pure spoiler who fights in a very negative way.

I think he is pretty good though in terms of his ability to make the other guy look poor and that would be a different sort of fight for Floyd, and who knows that might be sort of interesting to see what Floyd could do with that.

I feel you though

Yeah, entertainment wise he's horrible. That's what I'm referring to. I must agree though that the guy can make anybody look like straight **** which he deserves credit for. But I can't man, that ishe fight was horrible. Everybody at the place i saw the ppv at clapped when it was over. **** was brutal bro.

Nothing wrong with any of that

Lara could be a difficult fight for Floyd, style-wise, that is why the so called "purists" push for it.

And I agree with them, it'd be a very interesting match up, but it'd be likely to be a chess match, with both guys trying to win rounds rather than go out there all guns blazing.

Also selling the fight might be difficult, it'd be much easier if Lara was to fight a big name like Canelo first.

[DeadLikeMe]

Nobody wants Floyd vs. Lara, lets be real here. Half the people that "want" this fight, only want it so they can declare it a terrible PPV. Angulo, Vanes and Lara are all ****. We might as well throw K9 in the mix too if we are being fair.

I want the fight. I like Lara and think he does well vs Canelo or Mayweather.

I still dont get the notion that Floyd struggles with Southpaws. In reality he beats up Southpaws he damn near KO'd every Southpaw he's fought if you call that struggling ok. At this point it really doesn't matter to me who Floyd fights cause I'm 100% I will watch it. Do I want him to fight Khan hell no but I wont ***** and moan about it either there's nobody who I absolutely want to see him fight right now I felt that way leaving the MGM Grand Sept 14th.

for me it's about the rest of the competition. There aren't many guys that are left that would trouble Mayweahter. I just think him vs Lara would be interesting.

It wouldnt bother me at all if Floyd fought Lara it would be a different match-up than against people who swear they are going to put Floyd to sleep and leave dissappointed. Maybe Lara could be Floyds Tarver.

[Carpe Diem]

A stylistically bad fight for Floyd. Lara is taller with the longer reach advantage, and has the skills to box at Floyd's pace in the center of the ring.
