Mayweather needs to fight Lara..Bottom line..

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

That doesn't mean the level of challenge is the same. I guess the Guerrerro/ Canelo fights glossed over the fact that a well past his prime Cotto roughed Mayweather up

Keep fighting them slow brawlers Floyd, your fantards will eat it up.

Roughed up Floyd and cleared 3 rounds tops. Thats how good he is. A guy winning 3 rounds is a victory to you.

Keep this between me and you Floyd is past his prime as well. Shhh dont tell anyone.

He certainly has the power advantage.

I did enjoy Lara vs Trout, yes.

We haven't seen Lara ouboxed. Molina didn't outbox Lara, even if you think he beat Lara (I don't think he did), it was by spoiling, not outboxing.

But whatever, you're entitled to your opinion.

How do you figure he has the power advantage? I don't think there's any way to prove that

Vanes did well against Lara, too....
So did what may have been a shot Williams

And for me, Lara just barely edged most rounds against Trout and dominated a few of them. I thought he won basically every round but it was like 2 solid connects to 1 by Trout. I just don't think skillwise he's on the level of a Rigo or Floyd

I didn't say it was a victory you imbecile. Floyd was pushed in that fight and that's what people want to see, whether he wins or loses.

Canelo is a GBP fighter, floyd is not. GBP would still be promoting floyd's fights for a percentage(of course it woud be lower) and would still get Lara who would surely get some type of boost in fans fom beating floyd.

Yes, him going up to MW as a ww and beating sergio would've enhanced his legacy. But not doing that doesn't affect his legacy. Bradley and Manny-we know why the fights haven't happened. Lara, respectfully, doesn't bring the same legacy enhancements as beating the others would.

I didn't say he was the the best to ever do it, I said perhaps you realize he is one of the best and that is why you can't see how world class fighters can't beat him.

SO out of a career of 45 fights-the fact he fought ghost, ortiz and canelo after age 34 weighs more heavily on his career ranking than other wins? Thats a tough standard.

I'm done with this dumb **** bro..I made this thread cause Latta was the best opponent Mayweather could have fought right now.. It was not to hate on him or to bash his legacy.. Guess this is unacceptable to some..

It's my opinion. It's impossible for me to physically prove it to you.

I know Vanes did well against him (still lost/was losing imo), what's your point? Fighters have done against Floyd as well...

And PWill did not do well against him, he got badly beaten up.

Like I said I think Floyd is a better boxer than him, but they're not worlds apart.

Do you believe maidana is on lara level??

No one is questioning Lara's credentials as a fighter. Only a complete nuthugging fangirl like Burner would try to suggest he's the same as a Maidana.

He's just simply not marketable so he's never going to get a Mayweather fight unless the options become REALLY thin.

The thing is, why is this acceptable?? The best fights should be made.. This has been my only point in this thread, Maywrather vs lara was the best fight could be made.. It's the fight that should have been made..

No
Never said I did

Obviously
I was more asking what you think qualifies as evidence he has more power

I've seen Lara lose more rounds than Floyd, and that Vanes fight was rightfully scored a draw at the time it was stopped.

P Will lost and got beat up, but he did have success and I think that was a P Will far from his best

Lara may be the closest to Floyd skillwise from 140-154
I'll agree with that, but even then I think Andrade could possibly beat Lara
And I'm not 100% convinced Canelo wouldn't beat him. I'd bet on Lara in that fight, but I don't think he has as easy of a time with Saul as Floyd did.
