Anyone think Floyd v Lara would still be competitive?

    But this is NSB so all of a sudden Lara gets ripped apart because Floyd beat Canelo more convincingly. Despite Lara actually fighting a much more healthy and experienced version and not some drained zombie.

    The fight is dead in the water anyway. Lets prepare for Madonna 2, A mere con and Danny Garcia

      Perhaps the fact Lara's one dimensional, has no Inside game what so ever, does the same thing over and over, gives fights away on a consistent basis.

      Pretty abundantly clear that they're two different levels of fighters.

        I thought Lara won, and looked good in doing so.

        He would move much less against Mayweather, and it would be a very close fight.

          And if Fraud didn't fight Canelo, you'll be singing a different tune.


          7-5 Lara

            It will be competitive early as most Floyd fights are. But I can't see Lara winning the fight. He's a victim of his own style. Floyd knows how to throw the straight right that Canelo doesn't throw. And Floyd's hand speed and accuracy will prevail. I was very disappointed in Lara's performance last night. Same goes for Canelo too. I wish somehow both fighters could've got the L.

              What the hell does Mayweather fighting Canelo have anything to do with anything I just said?

              I didn't mention Mayweathers fight with Canelo as any part of reasoning.

                This would be a terrible match up... For fans. Floyd wouldn't pressure Lara, he'd wait far him. Floyd is smart and knows that this fight would never sell

                  lara is gay enough to make any fight close, he can live off one punch per round, if he lands on floyd floyd better be ready to sprint after the guy to get him back because lara isn't gonna do anything else knowing that he's ahead

                    Easy UD for Mayweather.

                    Lara talked a lot of **** and couldn't back it up.

                      I never thought this would be a competitive fight. Lara doesn't have the punch output to make Mayweather work. I wouldn't say he's one dimensional but there is not much more to his offense (or lack of), than what we saw last night. I actually can't believe people was clamoring for this fight. Wait a minute... I can.
