Comments Thread For: Lara: I Want Floyd Mayweather For My Next Fight

[tokon]

Lara fights at 154...I agree he would be problematic for Floyd though.

. . . . . but that fight won't be happening.

floyd has 2-3 maybe 4 fights absolute tops before he retires and lara isn't anywhere near the shortlist.

Lara landed an average of 10 punches per round last night against a very limited fighter as Ishe Smith. Against Alvarez the output was even worse with something below 9 punches per round. I know some people are very impressed with Lara but when you think another journey man like Carlos Molina defeated him it makes wonder whether he is that great. Floyd is certainly declining and that is the main reason he will be even more picky and specially with only 2-3 more fights before retiring. Lara's style is not attractive and consequently he doesn't have a fan base so from the business point is a useless fight for Floyd.

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 or by walking into his range without throwing, whereby he can use his long reach, and is predominately a great athlete, not a great boxer, and even when people fight to his strengths he doesn't exactly look good; Angulo and Canelo being examples of how poor Lara can look.

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 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.

Lara, Trout, Williams, and Algieri -- long tall boxers will always be avoided by Floyd. He only fights slow come forward fighters.

sorry but youre an idiot

It truly is amazing when even Floyd haters don't want him in with Lara who has a very high chance of giving Floyd his first official loss. Makes me think they're closet flowmos.

Lol very sound point. But I think it's moreso just the fight wouldn't be any fun to watch.

Unless people wanted to see a 12 round chess match as you put it. Kind of a lame prospect this one matchup

keep dreaming son ......

Floyd only has like 3 more fights left Why on GODS green earth would we wanna see Floyd VS LARA????

[Corelone]

Respect. Fighters wont mention people they fear. Lara has respect for 3G, his name hasn't touched Lara's lips. Floyd? Cops, judges, Amir, his own son. He's not getting any respect on that level. Hard to figure, money without respect.

All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather.

Lara is legit yo, lets make it happen!
