What makes Erislandy Lara so great?

[Kagami Taiga]

I don't think that is fair to Angulo in this case. He has always had some hype , he came to the Lara fight and delivered what he always does. When someone comes to the ring and delivers on his hype and someone like Lara still wins, then we might have a badazz on our hands. No need to bash him after the fact when that was one of LAra's best performances to date

What's the reason for angulos hype? Wtf has he done?

You know, you pretty much proved my point with this reply....

I couldn't care less about either Vanes or Lara going into their fight, but the truth is the truth, and Lara was the only one landing significant punches for at least 5 or 6 of those rounds.

I don't care how boring it was, the guy landing all the punches clearly wins the fight.

No

he

wasn't

clearly

winning

anything


Only rounds Lara clearly won, was towards the end before the cut. I don't know where you get this stuff from.

The answer is simple. He's the #1 contender at 154 right now. No matter his style, no matter who he's struggled against, that's the case.

Fact of the matter is, we don't know how Floyd/Lara will turn out if it never happens. I'm not giving out fantasy fight wins like others do.

Lara at number 3 ..


Hey Floyd !!! When you gonna fight Lara ?

Floyd: never heard of him.



He is ranked number three behind you.

Floyd: take the test



He'll agree to that.

Floyd:I'm going on vacation


Ok no problem enjoy that hard earned money. He'll wait till September

Floyd: he has no fans


He is Cuban , give him a break.

Floyd:he has a loss


Your the only guy without one !

Floyd: I'm retired.


You said September 2015 was the last fight champ!


Floyd:I'll call him and offer him 250,000 ,ill wire it


That's a low ball Floyd . Your name is money , the guy has family.

Floyd:I gotta sit down and talk with showtime,al Haymon,and my team


You said you were your own boss!

Floyd:I don't do business with GBP


What ? Since when ? Why ? What can be done to make this happen?

Floyd : since right now ,I ll never do business with Oscar ever ,he has to leave GBP and fight for me


He is under contract and your greatest threat. It's what the fans want.

Floyd : Lara who , I never heard of him,is he Russian?



THIS RIGHT HERE ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Lara is ultra-talented.

It can't and shouldn't be denied that he has a lot of talent and has defeated some good boxers.

I don't think he will get the fights he wants at 154 and should move up to MW. I think he could beat a lot of the top MWs if his chin holds up.

I watched Lara-Vanes and even commented on the Round by Round scoring thread here on boxingscene, how about you?

Lara came on late and was taking over the fight, but he lost many early rounds. This is truth.

Lara barely escaped Angulo, had a draw with Vanes and Molina. Sure he has an awkward style, but he isn't what you guys make him out to be

if you are so well informed why not state all the facts? like Lara didn't train properly do to Shields commitment to train GR for his fight against casey, that he had a tooth infection 3 days before fight night, they want to cancel the fight but he went ahead with it, he didn't lose the early rounds, he was defensive minded the first 4 rounds and took over from the fifth on, vanes knew he was in world of hurt and quit, Lara fought williams with a mellon hanging from his head and never complained, and my favorite, angulos fight, a phone boot for a ring, memory foam for a mat and rehydration clause only for Lara, a MW was forced to fight an LHW murderous puncher, on top of that angulo was on some energy drink, he was his old self, I think he have a very good chance of pulling the upset, a least better than the last 10 or 15 fighters fraud has faced...

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I don't think Lara is that great, but given the size and styles, I think he has the best chance of beating Floyd besides some mw or manny

You know, you pretty much proved my point with this reply....

Care to elaborate? How much extra hype has Angulo gotten that he didn't have before? Aren't people split on whether he is a quitter or not?

[Jc8804]

He quit after lara punched him .
What is to debate. Go to youtube and watch it and the replay.
Punch to face and then quit.
