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

[AVDB]

This fight needs to happen for the sole reason that I have snapshots of several of the posts in here. Pure comedy gold

Well, Rubio, Njikam are in the same boat as Mora, Rosado and Stevens; same class of fighter. Barker might be slightly better, but not by much at all.

I still fail to see how Mora, Stevens and Rosado calling him out is such a problem as compared to these supposed duckers with "everything" to lose

What does Rubio and Njikam have to lose that Mora doesn't?

Mostly health I suppose, depending on how much they value it. Rubio is Mexican so there's always the interim WBC shot. NJikam was ducking when he held the interim WBA belt, but they gave it up when ordered to fight GGG and easily got the WBO interim shot. Probably would be harder coming off a KO loss to GGG

Lara's style is all wrong for GGG....potshot destruction if this fight gets made. GGG is going to get wrecked.

GGG fans:

"EVERYONE IS SCARED OF GGG..."

Someone calls him out:
"Insert generic excuse here"

How do you figure? Lara doesn't fare that well vs pressure guys like Angulo or even Freddy Hernandez, who are levels below ggg

I've just talked with Golovkin in private at social network. He told me that he's going to wait for Martinez (after April's bout) and make him a good offer to fight him at the end of the year if he wins Cotto and not gets injured.
Also he said that Oscar De La Hoya is going to push Showtime to make a fight between him and Peter Quillin.
About Andre Ward's situation... he said he's ready and willing to fight him but HBO blocks it at this point.
About Lara's situation... he said that he's surprised Lara calling him out but if he's ready to move up and HBO approves that bout he will contact him to discuss the details and terms of the fight for sure.
And finally... he will move up straight to the north at 168 in 2015 if all goes well.

Guys with a jab and movement will give GGG issues. If Martinez is healthy and he destroys Cotto......I do hope they make the Martinez-GGG fight because I think Sergio will beat GGG to pieces.

Sergio struggled with Macklin, Barker and Cintron in his prime. Does Macklin cut off the ring better or what?

You need to put CONSTANT pressure on Lara to be effective. Lara has a good jab and is a counter puncher, so once GGG gets caught with a few flush counters, he will be more cautious as he gets "surprised" when he gets tagged. He doesn't get fazed per se, but he realizes that he can't just pounce on a guy and attack, he uses a more methodical approach which is going to play right into Lara's game. He was cautious against Adama who is half as skilled as Lara is. Yet, GGG is an offensive minded fighter by nature which is always going to leave him vulnerable to a skilled counter-puncher.

Please, he knocked out all the guys you just mentioned....the ref counted to 10 in the Cintron fight, how that fight was allowed to continue was beyond comprehension.

By comparison, GGG seemed to struggle with Adama who was at least a level or two below the guys referenced.

Please, Adama got KDed 3x and won 0 rounds. All those guys won rounds off Sergio, and sure Cintron should have been counted out, but after that point he had Sergio on the run. If you knock out a guy, no need to backpedal and lose most of the remaining rounds, vs a guy like Cintron who probably quits vs Adama even
