    He's clearly the most competitive option. Usually id complain about him being boring but Floyds fights are pretty boring as is so it would be a good match up

      I think anyone with any boxing knowledge would rather see Lara vs. Mayweather.

      PEople calling for Maidana will be the same guys saying that Mayweather cherry picked after he dominates Maidana. Seriously Maidana?

      At this point Khan might be more intriguing than Maidana.

          If it comes down to money, then Lara is out of the question. He's a compelling match up, but the guy needs a win over somebody like Canelo or Cotto in order to put his name into the limelight. I love Lara, but his handlers aren't doing the best job of publicizing him.

          A big name fight is all he really needs, then I'm sure he'd be a viable name for the Mayweather lottery.

            The only way Floyd beats Lara is to drain Lara to 152 have him weak at fight time

              Style wise Lara is a nightmare for Mayweather, but he is a southpaw so good luck on that one. Notice his name didn't come up while Maysweater was trying to force feed us Maidana or Khan in that ****** poll.

                  Mayweather will never fight Lara. If the odds are not at least 20-1, it won't happen.

                    That would be even worse, sorry but I would rather have Mayweather - Thurman at 147.

                      he would make more fighting maidana actually, probably by a large margin.

                      floyd has now business fighting over 147 realistically, he only does it for major fights against major names like DLH, cotto and alvarez. he wont bother for a guy like lara.

                      lara should focus on securing that alvarez fight and come out on top, if he does he might make it worth while for flyd to box him at a weight he isnt comfortable. i would love to see mayweather-lara, i dont think it would be boring at all, i think it might be the single most exciting fight that can be made. but right now its not a realistic fight.
