Mayweather needs to fight Lara..Bottom line..

[The Big Dunn]

All these guys have output until they face a B-Hop, Floyd, Lara, Rigondeaux.
The more you open up the more openings you leave and that applies to any fighter.

What makes you think volume is key?

Floyd thrives off volume punchers hence he is fighting Maidana next. He don't want none of a rangy, fast, slick, fleet footed, Cuban counterpuncher. He had problems with much smaller, weaker, frankly horse**** versions of Lara in Judah & Corley, he'll be right out of his comfort zone against Lara who won't care about initiating.

4 fights left and all 4 will be flat-footed, slow garbage. He isn't fighting nobody that isn't made to order.

Problems with Judah and Corley? please xplain.

He won those fights by a wide margin. Yes, Judah didn't get credited with a KD. Just because he didn't get a shutout win doesn't mean he had problems.

They didn't initiate and had very good success then they started leading and Judah started to gas and slow he got picked apart. They had as good as success against Floyd as almost anybody until they gave up their southpaw advantage.

Floyd has never looked his usual 'unbeatable' self when faced with a southpaw counterpuncher hence why he avoids them so much. He isn't as comfortable facing them. He prefers slow flat-footed guys who will go to him or remain static and throw volume

Lara isn't an aggressive, one handed southpaw like Guererro or Ortiz. He has everything stylistically to not only give Floyd hell but potentially beat him.
I don't care who you are you don't want to get in a chessmatch with an elite Cuban.

Marcos is a "volume puncher"?

[dan_cov]

Marcos is a "volume puncher"?

Yes he is. He consistently throws 80+ punches per round.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

I never said Lara would beat Mayweather tho..See there is where you can tell your on some dumb **** and just trying to protect Floyd cause you believe I'm bashing him..When in fact,I've said nothing negative about Floyd in this thread..I only spoke facts that is it..

This is the bottom line right here..Which fight would you rather see??Mayweather vs Lara Maidana or Khan??Just answer this question..

Mayweather vs Maidana.


I dont give Lara any more of a chance at beating Floyd than I give MNaidana.

Deep down you know Lara gets thoroughly dominated by Mayweather. You are hyping him up like the final boss in mortal kombat. Its a mismatch. Just like Floyd vs Maidana, Floyd vs Bradley, Floyd vs Pac etc


They all lose wide decisions man. Its time for NSB to come to the grips with this cold reality. Floyd is on another level than Lara and anyone else active right now.

There isnt ONE fighter alive that would be favored to beat Floyd from 140-154. Not one.

[V.WEBB]

Yes he is. He consistently throws 80+ punches per round.

So he thrives off these types? Who were the others?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Lara is going to outbox Mayweather. Oh boy. When will they learn.

[BigZigga]

Floyd is a better 'boxer' but they're not worlds apart in that department. Lara has the natural size and power advantage. Floyd wouldn't be able to tag him like he's been tagging some of the walking punchbags he's fought recently. It would be an 'awful' fight for people who don't appreciate the s technical side of the game.

And using triangle theories to validate a point isn't a smart move. Styles make fights etc. Molina didn't outbox Lara, he spoiled throughout the fight. I had Lara winning it anyway, but that's besides the point.

Does he have the power advantage? I'm not so sure
He does have a 3 inch reach advantage and a 1 inch height advantage
And it the more natural 154 pound fighter

I just don't see anything from him that makes me think he could beat Floyd

Did you enjoy Lara-Trout?
I can appreciate the technical aspects of any fight, but lets not act like that was a fight of the year candidate. Neither was Mayweather-Canelo

My point was that Lara can be outboxed. No triangle theory. We've seen he can be outboxed. We've never seen anyone outbox Floyd and those that have tried have failed miserably. I think Lara does a bit better than most due to size but who doesn't have a size advantage on Floyd?

Good post^^^^^

Gotta love this level of arse lickery. Does this guy even try to hide it anymore?
