    Lara deserves the shot, if Mayweather goes back to 154lbs then he should get consideration. The problem is how would you promote the fight? Lara isn't hyped and he doesn't speak English..............

I would imagine Floyd vs Lara would be similar to Floyd /Judah in some ways. Floyd would have to get inside and hit the body like he did in the Judah fight. As we all know, Lara's inside game is lacking. I think the subtle ways Floyd uses his jab goes unnoticed because of how effective the right hand is.
      But just like Rigo, guys just don't go in on him, because of his power, counter shots.

      I don't think even Floyd just goes in on him like that, and if he pressures like he did against Canelo, he's in for a world of hurt.

      I think Floyd has a good jab, but not a busy jab. His best jab is the one to the body, and I think Lara can catch him off the top of that jab. Lara's not Ortiz or Canelo.

        There are other fighters that Lara should face before getting a shot at Floyd. Beating Trout and barely surviving a fight with Angulo doesn't put you into position to fight the P4P king. How can you justify demanding Floyd to fight a fighter who beat someone coming off a loss? These kinds of threads are the dumbest.

          Lara would be a living nightmare for Floyd and Lara beats him. Lara isn't a big name though so the fight won't happen. Why would Floyd take such a dangerous fight if he doesn't have to? Lara's best shot to get a fight against Floyd is to first make some noise against a big name like Cotto or Canelo to get his name out there. Right now Floyd would just say: You want me to fight Lara?.....Lara who?

            Fair point. Maybe he should call up Berto or get the **** knocked out of him by Julio Diaz.

              In what way is Lara a nightmare to Floyd? You can't possibly think that Lara could outbox Floyd when he couldn't even outbox Angulo or Molina in there fights.

                I can't see this fight not happening next year in September if Lara fights & beats Canelo.

                50-50 fight for sure.

                  Exactly.

                  Eslirandy should try beat Andrade first (but Meechy would box circles around Lara's ass).

                      Lara has to beat Berto first. Or get punked by Garcia.
