Comments Thread For: Lara Tells Manager He's Ready To Fight Gennady Golovkin

[zuz]

Uh-oh......the GGG facade is about to come crashing down. Let's prepare ourselves for the article that will come out tomorrow chock-full of excuses as to why this sight can't/shouldn't happen.

GGG's trainer will say something like Lara isn't a big enough name and hasn't done anything at 160 to earn a shot at GGG. Then two weeks later, it'll be confirmed that GGG will fight Kirkland next, lol.

Absolutely correct.

Pusy got no balls to face a legit opposition.

Golovkin is one the biggest jokes in boxing history.

I agree but Angulo has been in with better competition.

Sure but I'd say GGG is the way more talented fighter then Angulo. Maybe I'm wrong but Lara would have to really be on his skates all night to get away from GGG.

when its all said and done, ggg is an elite fighter who makes other fighters look like bums . thats not his fault.

but when lara is calling you at to fight at 160 , you have to take it.

His best wins are Macklin, Stevens, Rosado, Proksa, and Ishida.

Neither of these guys are elites, and Macklin is said to be Martinez's weakest name.

How can you be elite without beating elites?

GGG by fighting Lara doesn't really lose that much to be honest, if he wins they he proves he can match the slicker fighters in the game and could potentially set up a Mayweather fight, If he loses he can still fight someone like Canelo and make millions PPV wise because people are drawn to raw power. Id still watch Matthysse fights even thought Garcia beat him, putting him in there with Maidana would be amazing.

Do you imply that Golovkin avoided the "elite" at the middleweights?

[JAYT01]

obviously that would be dependant on the whole HBO, Showtime thing

[dankitydank]

This is BS. We want Lara vs. Mayweather.

he is elite because he would be favourite to beat anybody from 154 to 168 not ranked in the top 2 p4p spots....

How does the old Russian school compare historically to the Cuban school?

The Cuban school emerged from the Soviet school, of course... and was transformed to fit African-American fighters...

Did you watched many U.S. African-American fighters boxing against Cuban or Soviet/Russian school fighters?
