Comments Thread For: Lara: I'll Fight GGG, Canelo Fights Cotto - Winners Meet!

[Barcham]

Haymon is not preserving Lara. He has nobody for him to fight. I like both fighters and want to see a good technical fight between two contrasting styles. You on the other hand, are happy with GGG waiting for a Cotto fight which he will never get, waiting 2 years for Oscar to put Canelo in there with him and in the meantime getting aroused from highlight KOs over Boxcino champions.

And all this talk about Lara running, have you seen Willie Monroe fight before?

I don't care about seeing GGG fight Cotto. I would rather Cotto vacate his title than watch that massacre. He has Lemieux and Lee to look forward to, probably Saunders and Eubank Jr. down the road as well. No need to look at lower weight divisions for fighters who cannot fight on HBO in the first place. Why not have Lara fight Andrade instead? Or wait for Floyd to vacate his title and challenge for them? Lara is a twitter fool, no more, no less.

Usually we do not, but GGG is a unique case.

he can't get the fights he wants-Cotto or Canelo-right now. He will not go up to 168 for the ward fight. SO instead of him bashing no hopers, some of us want to see him in with someone who presents a different challenge to see what he can do.

Lara fits this description. So while I would pick GGG, I think they should fight to confirm this. I mean I could be wrong, like the people that swore Manny was going to destroy Floyd.

Ward is not ready for a GGG fight, as he has stated himself. If Lara is serious, he should get his promoter to contact GGG's promoter to discuss the possibility of a fight, not post useless challenges on twitter like a twelve year old. Chavez Jr. posted bets and challenges on twitter and where did those lead? These children have to understand that boxing is SERIOUS, because they will definitely find out exactly how SERIOUS it can get once they find themselves in the ring facing Golovkin. If they have doubts about that, they should talk to Stevens and ask him about being SERIOUS.

You might be right. GGG is tremendously skilled so I would expect him to be able to do the things necessary to beat Lara.

But, Lara may find ways to neutralize what GGG does through movement and then find a way to box to a victory.

I am interested to see how he does this Saturday against Monroe. That should give an indication as to how a Lara fight would go. Monroe is a middleweight so I would expect him to take GGG's power better than Lara would and if Golovkin drops him early, I would take that to be about the point where a Lara fight would come to an end.

Lamp put Lara on his anti Gatti list as if he's subliminally calling the dudes on that list cowards...but Lara been wanting GGG for a while now

He doesn't have the experience against quality opponents to do that Natas. Style is fine, but that alone is not enough.

This was similar to the argument fans made about Algieri's chances against Manny. He as well lacked quality opposition.

Lara has far more amateur experience and has more fights against quality professionals that offsets the weight somewhat.

I understand Lara has better experience, but he's not a middleweight and he's fragile at 154 as it is. Experience isn't going to help Lara much if he gets KO'd within 5 rounds. That's why I say Monroe may be a better fight for Golovkin, since he's an actual middleweight and may be able to last rounds against Golovkin.

Credible in name yes. I doubt you thought any of them had a chance to win.

What does that have to do anything? You don't have to be an underdog in order to prove you're fighting a credible opponent. GGG will be the favorite over any fighter from 154-160 and most fighters at 168. Only exception is Ward.

That's why so many want him to fight Ward at 168-to see what he will do ina fight against an opponent that actually has a chance to beat him.

Yeah it will be a good fight, both have stated they want to fight each other in the future so I certainly see it happening within a 1-2 years after Ward has a couple tune ups and hopefully after GGG unifies 160.

Please be SERIOUS. Calling someone out on Twitter is meaningless. If Lara really wanted to fight GGG he would get his promoter working on it but he cannot do that without getting Haymon's permission first and that just isn't going to happen. Haymon will not let any of his fighters fight anywhere but on a PBC broadcast and you will not find GGG over there anytime soon.

[ИATAS]

I don't know why people think that's Lara on twitter, you guys really think he speaks and writes perfect English? It's his manager, DeCubas jr.

[MDPopescu]

... There are very valid reasons why it will not. One is that Lara is not a middleweight, two is that Lara is signed to Haymon and cannot fight on HBO and finally it would be a boring ass fight with GGG chasing Lara around the ring all night before finally catching him and sending him to dreamland.

Want a Lara - GGG fight? OK... get Haymon to sign off on it first, then have Lara take a fight or two at middleweight to prove he deserves the shot and have the fight in a small ring where Lara cannot run all night. Chances of any of that happening? ZERO.

I don't think that Lara would need any tune ups in order to fight Golovkin.
... But he is a Haymon fighter, therefore Lara can only call out PBC fighters, to date... No need to further speculate.

[mozzer101]

Golovkin doesn't wanna get embarrassed like canelo. He's content with his -10000 fights

Fuc& Lara nobody cares to watch him. What this guy thinks he calls the shots?
