If Lara can not get the fights he wants at 154, why not move to 160?

[!! Shawn]

Hold up so Lara can't move up 1 damn division?

Why move up Larry? Why not suggest he move down to 147?

[ßringer]

Because then he couldn't go on and on about how nobody wants to fight him like a ****.

You don't need to look that far back in boxing history to realize what a good PR move this "most avoided" bull**** is. Antonio Margarito and Paul Williams practically built their entire careers on it instead of actually doing something of note.

You have to be careful that it doesn't backfire on you like it did those twats, though.

because there is a fine line. I mean is it really about challenging yourself or are you basically saying to fight at a disadvantage over & over again until you lose because thats what it basically starts to get at. Its not about challenging, its about going until you lose and then at that point people will turn and say you got exposed. Still, its cool but you have to hold others to the same standard. Why does a guy who has moved up more than nearly anyone in boxing, fought at a much lower weight than his opponent more than anyone in boxing, have to keep going until you find someone for him to lose against because at some point it will be too much. Then thats when you tell him to stop? Like ok, we found out this one was officialy too much so this is your limit? Its not a game like that. You have to be fair to a fighter and let him fight guys his own size sometimes......lol

Slurp slurp slurp.

so you dont think fight night weights hold any value in boxing or were you just speaking in terms of if Lara should move up or not?

I'm curious as to why Iron is worried about Lara's fight night weight.

Is it because Floyd hold titles at JMW and Floyd shouldn't fight JMW's since he doesn't rehydrate like a JMW?


Lara could move to 160 if he wants.

based on what? they were both winning before for years and they never fought. lara was fighting the much stiffer competition and canelo was fighting cans and old men but they were both winning and the fight was never close to being made. and if lara does actually lose someday....well his chance at a canelo fight is gone forever but if a guy like angulo or mosley loses many times he will still get a chance because.......boxing! so basically if lara keeps winning they don't fight, if lara loses they won't fight, maybe if lara......

Lara wasnt getting the decisions and he still wasnt the name that he is now. People are too hard on Canelo. He has tried to fight guys. He tried to fight Williams, Kirkland, and Cotto. He did fight Trout. Trout said that Canelo's team didnt want the fight but Canelo made them pick Trout so he gave Canelo respect for that. Now its Angulo saying the same thing. That GBP didnt want the fight but Canelo pushed for it. I dont think he has any fear of Lara. I think if he doesnt get the Cotto-Sergio winner then he's fighting Lara next. I honestly dont think he sees him as much different than Trout, especially if Canelo stops Angulo

I know god forbid the jr middle weight "super" champion should have to fight someone in his own division.

What a fabulous surprise that the transparent motive for this thread was completely missed/ignored by you.

Oh, I know what Larry's motive is here.

I'm just answering the question honestly.
