Why is Erislandy Lara known as the guy nobody wants to fight?

Well Broner only lost one fight and still can be the future of the sport,according to people here if you are undefeated you fought no 1..but soon as you lose all the sudden you are a joke??

He could easily have 4 losses tbh but yh I do agree people are way too quick to rule a fighter out after a loss.
I find it extremely hard to see Broner being the future of the sport though I do feel his loss could serve him well. He looks in better shape between fights already than he has done so it could be a positive.

change the last word of your title to 'watch' instead of fight

What makes you say that? Lara is one of the most talented and athletic boxers out there.

He has power and he has accuracy.

Whaddehell you say about Golovkin dawg?!?

[-Kev-]

Because he has similar style to Mayweather, Hopkins, Ward, Forrest, A. Dirrell but doesn't bring in big money or fanbase.

With that said, he's done very well for himself as far getting the best opponents possible.

Williams
Trout
Molina
Martirosyan
Angulo

And make no mistake about it, the guy is lined up to fight Canelo if he beats Angulo, Haymon will make sure of that.

Truthfull question here folks...
i must have missed all the hype surrounding him, but why exactly is it that nobody wants to fight him? I'm readin names like GGG, Canelo, this one, that one.... whats the deal here?

Lara has that kind of style that makes many fighters look bad. He's a counter-puncher who attacks hard after he catches opponents. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCBQrErcJBQ
