Mayweather seems to let his hands go and stand toe toe even more so than Lara and that's saying something. I think Lara is a good boxer NOT a masterful one. IMO May would beat Lara
At 154 its an intriguing and interesting match up for me. Finally someone who has speed and can fight backwards against floyd. Floyd would do the chasing and would also hesitate due to laras power. It aint happening though, "lara has canelo problems"
Lara is a much more difficult puzzle.
No, this fight would break Compubox records for the lowest amount of punches thrown and landed and it would make Randall Bailey v Devon Alexander look like the most action packed fight of the Gatti v Ward trilogy.
Lara refuses to throw first unless someone walks into his range and, preferably, throws first against him and falls short. He's only capable of fighting against someone who fights to his strengths by throwing and missing.
Floyd isn't fighting to Lara's strengths, he doesn't have to and absolutely wont. Lara has to beat Floyd, which means he will have to be on the offensive, which he both isn't very good at and and doesn't like to do.
This fight would either resemble Trout v Lara, where Trout threw first every time and was countered, with Lara taking taking the role of Trout and Mayweather that of Lara, or it would be the first ever 36 minute staring contest in boxing history, where Mayweather would get the nod because his stare carried more weight with the judges.
Terrible fight, and I'm glad that it'll never happen.
I wouldent watch it live catch the download but floyd should win that one from what we say from lara he scared to let his hands go against the better opposition and pray he is favored in the cards. Wont happen mi cubano homie.
