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

[Gary Coleman]

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.

You Golovkin fanboys are delusional.

Lara called out Gennady directly on twitter. This is GGG's manager's response:

“He [Lara] is not approved by HBO and never on our radar, he should be calling out Quillin, if he wins, he becomes interesting,” Loeffler said. “Lara fights on Showtime and had draws with Vanes and Molina, GGG vs Stevens=high ratings, who watches Lara? Lara fights on Showtime and is Jr Middle, why would he be on our radar? Lara should call out Floyd, same promoter same TV and he beats both Khan and Maidana, should be easy fight to make. Good fight between 2 solid guys. Yes, same promoter same TV and same weight, makes more sense for Lara to call out Floyd.”

They then went on to fight Geale and Rubio. Haven't heard a peep about Lara since.

Running scared!

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.

Yes he would and no Lara won't. You're posting as if you've never seen a Lara fight. He doesn't care about what the crowd wants. He's always going backwards in usually boring ass fights. If Zab Judah could be purely a counterpuncher and have some success against Floyd, why couldn't a far superior fighter like Lara do it?

Floyd doesn't want it with Lara.

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

Because Lara is not a flat-footed one dimensional fighter like many of Floyd's recent opponents. Lara would give Floyd problems.

Lara was fighting cautiously in his most recent fight because his opponents all were pressuring him and had the chance to make him pay if he wasn't careful. Personally, Lara fights too careful and should be more offensive minded.

There is a difference between a Canelo and Angulo compared to someone like Floyd. Lara would be more offensive minded against someone like Floyd. Floyd has a decent punch but not KO type punching.

One issue that Lara would have is getting to convince the judges that he did enough to win the round. So Lara would need to do more than he has done recently in his fights.

.... but I get why people would not want this fight.

There you go. Lara wants Floyd next.

Make it happen. Fight's piece of cake to make. Same managers, same networks.

[jqSide]

Both networks want it....... let's make it happen. No more excuses, UniMas and CubaVision shared PPV, YMCA gym Little Havana, 50-50 50 percent for floyd 50 rupees for Lara. Come on the fans are ready.

Floyd fans don't want it doe.

Let's revisit this thread briefly and observe the responses from the GG hating community.
