    They should remove him from the rankings all together because I seriously doubt he will ever fight above Welterweight again.

      why does he have to clean out the divison? Let Lara clean it out and then you might have a case. After Canelo beat Trout, everyone had him rated as the best and Floyd beat him so that makes him the best. Now if Lara can beat Molina clearly then he might have a case but not now. I actually think Canelo will fight Lara next if he's not able to get the Cotto-Sergio winner

        He can't prove he's better than Canelo until Canelo mans up and gets in the ring with him.

          yeah, thats my thing. Ive never argued about 154 titles with Floyd. If he doesnt want to defend it then strip him but you cant say he has to fight this guy or that guy. Thats garbage. He has a title and like everyone else, you either defend it or get stripped. Its not complicated. Just dont try to tell me that he has to clean out the division because there will always be someone next no matter what.

            Why, oh, WHY is Lara so overrated. It's one of those situations I do not get at all. How could one not see that Floyd would totally outclass and outbox this boring runner called Lara? And it isn't like Floyd is much of a fighter himself so this would be one of the most pointless and boring match ups that could be made.

            Lara is a good fighter but he is nowhere near being a master at his craft. Angulo knocked this clown out 2 or 3 times (can't remember) for God's sake!!! And I love Angulo but come on, El Perro is as one dimensional as they come! (And I like them like that, come forward brawlers but I'm talking from a analytical unbiased point of view). If it wasn't for that eye which was a freak accident we wouldn't even be talking about Lara today.
            You are the clown, you mentioning the 2 or 3 times he went down, it was 2, but you are not mentioning that the fight was rigged that Lara had a rehydration clause for ten pounds but perro didn't, that they fought in the smallest ring they could found and the mat was a memory foam, on top of that Lara wasn't allow to cool off between rounds, now I want you to answer this reply or stfo and don't post abou Lara or any other Cuban...

              What does 154 have to do with 160? Its the same thing. If he won a fight there you guys would say he needs to fight someone else there just like you are doing now. He is a 3 time 154 champ but he's also a 147 champ so he can campaign there if he wants, cant he? Why does he have to fight at 154? So you can get your fix?

              Everyone keeps saying he's a 154 champ without aknowledging that he's also a 147 champ so how can you complain about him fighting there? If you want to strip him hten strip him but dont complain about it. BTW, your boy Trout got beat by Canelo. You said Canelo was now the best and Floyd needs to fight him. He fights him, easily wins, and now you are still crying and trying to attach yourself to another hero. AFter Lara it will be someone else. Your name suits you will
              But it's absolutely not the same thing. Asking a 3 time 154 lb champ to fight a 154 fighter is not the same thing as asking him to fight a middleweight.

                So do you or do you not think he's the best 154 pounder in the world?

                  Great Fight, the only problem with your ducking theory is that Lara didn't call out Mayweather in front of thousands of fans after his win. He called out Canelo.

                  Reason Why is because Lara is smart, he knows he hasn't got a big Name, so he wants to beat Canelo first more impressively then call out Mayweather. He could win the hearts of Floyd haters if he calls out Floyd. The amount of ducking thread on this site would go wild.

                    I said "if he won a fight at 160" you would then ask him to fight other guys at 160. Not ask him to but mandate it. He doesnt belong there just like he doesnt belong at 154. He's just talented enough to be able to do it but that doesnt mean he should have to clean out these divisions, especially when you dont have a huge incentive to do it

                      Fighting a 154lber is in non way the same thing as fighting a middleweight. Especially if you are a 3 time champ at 154. The ts spoke of lara. You added 160, Martinez and GGG. Tread, nor 154 has anything to do with either fighter at this point.
