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

Lara, don't do it!

[zuz]

If Golovkin being a pusy to face the guys off north from super middleweight at least let can crusher fight a legit light middleweight like Lara.

I love this fight, but if we're being honest, GGG folds him; probably from a body shot

I completely agree. It wouldn't take many shots to tear up that rib cage. He is making a big mistake.

GGG is not a bum. the man won a silver medal in the olympics. he can box. he's been world champion for years. yes, he hasn't fought the top opposition. here, he has the opportunity to prove himself and silence the critics.

No he doesn't, and he won't silence anybody. This is a lose-lose situation for him. Lara would be the best fighter he's ever faced, and he's a JMW. So he'd have already several fighters moving up from 154 to fight him at 160, but he refuses to move up and face Andre Ward. Maybe GGG should grow the same sized balls his 154 opponents have and move up 1 weight class.

People are raving about GGG-Lara because unfortunately, that is the best opponent Golovkin would have faced to date. Which is pathetic for a 32 year old.

Go up and beat one of Ward, Froch, Kessler, Groves, Bika, then you silence the critics. Lara is in a win-win, if he loses to GGG, he lost to the bigger man and #1 ranked MW, if he beats GGG he basically skyrockets up to everyone's P4P list and would be seen in the same position as some one like Danny Garcia, who exposed Matthysse. Golovkin, if he loses, would be humiliating and not only would his hype die down, but all of his fairweather fans would disappear. If he wins, big deal, he beat a JMW...go up and face the 168 fighters.

FOTY if it happens and when it happens...well worth a ppv event if given a decent undercard. Both men can box and both men can punch..if you think GGG can't actually box...do yourself a favor and use youtube.

Damn homie. Guess you been following the sport long enough where you're brainwashed that every decent fight is PPV worthy. NO fight is PPV worthy. This one definitely isn't. Excellent match-up though. Hope it happens. Lay off that PPV bull**** though. Don't wanna give them greedy muthaf.uckas no ideas.

I think it's a perfect offer. It was good enough for a vet like Rosado, so why not Lara? People are really trying to hard to make this fight not happen

Nah, only Golovkin and HBO are trying not to make the fight happen. They're ducking lara. There's nothing stopping this fight, only ducking Golovkin

you are talking about the perception of the haters of golovkin. of course people who hate you that dont know who tf you are are going to find REASONS to hate. thats common sense. you said yourself, this would be his best opponent to date, and fight fans know the truth that lara is a great boxer. beating lara does mean something even if he is at 154lb. of course casual fans or haters will have excuses, but what can you do? real fight fans know lara is a incredible boxer and a tough task, GGG beating lara DOES prove something.

[hitking]

if Lara beats GGG, oh man. this site will have to shut down momentarily.

Why??? Will all his fanboys creating new accounts crash the site???

Nah man I dont agree.. GGG's is the star that shines the brightest. I'm sure this offer would be off the table now that he's viewed by 1.5 million people on HBO.. The highest ratings of the past calendar year.

I rather him call out Floyd, a smaller 154 guy instead of Lara. What's Lara done anyway? He aint fighting the best. He hasn't fought Canelo or Floyd or Quillin.. This dude's desperate for that GGG payday. That tool

[artfuL_]

But what happened? I thought GGG was the best at cutting off the ring? Why would Lara be a problem to the almighty ring cutter? His one dimensional ass would get outboxed and yeah, fans like you would say Lara ran all night instead of seeing it like it is, that GGG is a slow plodding, defenseless, low ring IQ having, powerful fighter with a good chin.

Reaching real hard with your criticism aren't you. Outrageous **** like that is clearly that outrageous ****.
