What makes Erislandy Lara so great?

[Da Machine]

The funny thing is he's not.

Because Lara has bar Floyd the best resume at 154. Also he is a very good boxer that would give canelo a boxing lesson. Lara's subtle power would make canelo heating any to throw. Enough of me babbling on, Lara is a top 2 154 pounder with the most solid resume.

I don't think he is great but he has the style and stance Mayweather refuses to fight. That is why lot of people want that fight to happen.

Watch his fights lol. HE just called out GGG on twitter

[Bigg Rigg]

Everyone is throwing out his name to fight Floyd. Why wouldnt this be another Canelo Floyd? Who really has he fought and beaten?

He's a better opponent than Khan is right about now. Maidana too! It's something different for us to see. Floyd vs a slick southpaw, he's fought nothing but sluggers in his last few fights.

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...

This sentence doe.

The "clauses" you speak were alleged oral agreements; meaning they weren't even in the contract. Lara is full of ****.

He's good, but he isn't great. He's show he can be hurt, he's shown he can get lazy and be out worked. Lara is very talented and dangerous, but he isn't some kind of unstoppable force.

While I agree with this point, I don't think Floyd should be expected to fighte 154 fighters "just because." Floyd isn't even a big welter, why should he have to move up in weight to fight a southpaw? That's just nonsensical, IMO.

lara called out GGG? well..... if angulo dropped lara it would be hard for me to gauge how well lara takes a ggg punch. thing is, angulo is a pressure fighter thats hyper aggresive and throws heavy combos and never steps back. GGG is a lot more methodical, likes to cut off the ring, set up his punches etc. lara could possibly take the punch a lil better, maybe he would see the punches better compared to angulo who bumrushed him. then again, angulo is slow, and GGG is definitely faster. if lara had an iron chin however, i would for sure take lara over ggg. my bad fellas, its just what i think!!
