Yea, Lara has been ****ing on Golovkin's door for the past few days.
Erislandy Lara is an Al Haymon client which means Lara will not be fighting on HBO. HBO will not allow GGG to go elsewhere while under contract. It would be nice if there wasn't a barrier between networks but unfortunately there is and Mayweather-Pacquaio was an exception.
Can you name a fight that would satisfy you that is currently possible after GGG's fight on sat?
I'd be happy with Vera and/or Heiland, whilst he waits for Cotto to vacate, though I fail to see why he doesn't move up to Super Middle to challenge himself.
What network is Lara fighting on in June?
Hint: It's not HBO
Of course you've got an excuse loaded and ready to go. If Genady had any interest in fighting live opponents we'd at least get some sort of effort toward this. Instead, it's an easy out. The same guys that use this excuse like to conveniently ignore the fact that Ward had contractual issues preventing him from fighting. Complete double standard. Some fighters aren't afraid to argue with the networks to pursue the fights they want. Golovkin isn't one of them.
I think he would fight Andy Lee in a unification match. Puts pressure on Cotto and Canelo. I think Oscar is going to have Canelo fight Lemieux for the IBF belt if he wins. Canelo vs. GGG in Sept. 2016 in an Undisputed Middleweight championship match would be HUGE business.

Tell me the network Lara is fighting on or kick rocks, Jabber Jaws.
You swine are all the same.
Ward is finally back fighting again and all of a sudden he wants his name out of the equation when it involves GGG. Check his latest interview. lol

I'm betting it'll be Andy Lee. Loeffler said they were putting together a big financial package to entice Lee to fight Golovkin next in Ireland and then Lee suddenly gets an elbow injury where he can't fight Saunders, then Saunders/Eubank gets made for the interim WBO. Lee/Golovkin would do huge numbers on prime-time UK, Irish, German, and Russian tv, not to mention be fought in an outdoor stadium in front of 20-30k.
I don't understand why folks talk about Lara fighting Golovkin when Quillin & Jacobs are already high ranked fighters in Golovkin's weight class. There should be pressure on those two guys to step up and go after GGG.
With Golovkin expected to draw 12,000 people into the Forum for his fight with Monroe, and Ward maybe drawing a third of that for his fight with Smith in his own home town, maybe RN steps up and throws a ton of money at GGG to fight their guy in hopes of revitalizing Ward's flat-lined career.
