    If Floyd is a real Junior Middlweight champion, why won't he fight Lara?

    After Lara's performance against Trout(and all of his performances for that matter), he proved he is a class above Canelo, and he's actually fought tough fighters.

    Is there any reason this fight is not happening?

    Because aside from a few people on this site, who is calling for that fight, or is going to pay $70 for it???

    Now Floyd's ducking Lara, haha

    His performance against Trout was good, he out classed him, it was a complete style mismatch for Trout. Both are southpaw fighters, "slick" boxers, but Lara is just a bit better at every single thing both of them do. Kind of like Mayweather-Marquez.

    But did you miss Lara's fights against Vanes or Molina, or him struggling with Angulo.

    It's not like Lara is some unbeatable monster who's steam rolling everyone at his weight class. He's good, I like him. But I want to see the two guys who beat Trout fight. Canelo vs Lara

            Yeah people on this site would. But people on here, or hardcore fans in general, are a small % of the PPV market. Most PPV sales are casual sports fans. Mayweather vs Lara would do like 600-700K at the absolute most. Guerrero only did like 800-900K, and he was a Mexican American on Cinco De Mayo. Lara is a Cuban who doesn't speak english whatsoever, and has no fan base or potential fan base in the states.

              Lara is a good fighter but he isn't going to get that opportunity because he would not bring enough money to the table for Mayweather and showtime, I think most people knows now that only money fights would happen when it comes to Mayweather.

                Especially at 154, I'm sure the TS would like to act oblivious to those facts though

                  That's sad as hell. The GOATs would be rolling in their graves if they knew champions in our age would not challenge themselves and fight the best without any excuses or doubt.

                    The GOAT would do the same damn thing. They did the same thing 100 ago with Jack Johnson.
