Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Not Ruling Out Lara Bout

[i'm a fun haver]

Exactly my thoughts, man. I think Lara is just talking (or his manager who runs his twitter page), because they know the fight probably won't happen due to politics. Lara even said he wanted to stay at 154. They're just trying to make GGG look bad and making it look like GGG doesn't want Lara.
GGG would KO Lara, I'm so positive in that.

Lara wouldn't have got up from that left hook GGG landed on Monroe in the 2nd round.

Look, GGG is one of my favorite fighters but him picking on smaller guys... Dude is clearly losing a fan at this point, it's getting out of control. Move up man, seriously.

Lara was 170 on fight night when he fought Smith. GGG was 170 against Monroe, how exactly is Lara the smaller guy? Canelo has been 170+ before as well.

Who is GGG going to fight at 168 besides Ward. Super Middleweight consists of a lot of unproven fighters. You have the Dirrell's, Degale, Groves and Jack. All 5 of those guys haven't done anything in their careers, they are just getting started. If GGG were to move up and beat them he wouldn't get any credit, people would start saying that they haven't done anything in their careers. I mean Groves, Degale and Andre Dirrell haven't even won a championship yet. Anthony was a joke of a champion and Jack isn't that much better imo.

The fact that Kessler, who hasn't fought in two years and recently retired, is still considered a plausible opponent for anyone up there, tells you how deep that division is. Froch is one foot into retirement and we don't know if he'll ever fight again, the more time that passes the more likely that Froch calls it a day.

What smaller guy is he picking on? Canelo is his size if not bigger, he wants cotto's wbc belt (fair game), and Lara called HIM OUT, not the other way around.

Why should GGG get credit for beating up on Canelo's leftovers if Cotto can't get credit for beating on GGG's? If he wants to fight a slick fighter, fight Ward who is actually P4P worthy like GGG currently is. Lara, is not.

Oh wow, GGG is talking about a guy moving up from JMW and people are in here saying he isn't smaller... LMAO. What a joke, I need to find a new site this one gets dumber by the day.

I'll give Cotto credit if he beats Geale faster than GGG did.

As for Lara, he is the one who continues to make ****** challenges on twitter, or most likely his manager. I figure that if he gets in the ring with GGG, he fires his manager at the end of the night - or as soon as he is able to think clearly again. He should be careful about what he asks for, he might get it.

All of a sudden Lara is just a little guy and a **** fighter! lol Classic!
At least wait until after GGG puts Lara on the highlight reel before you discredit him lol

The whole leftovers concept is more bull**** perpetuated by *****s. According to them only beating undefeated fighters matter LOL.

Lara is a better and polished version of Monroe. Plus if the plan is make a Canelo/GGG fight, having GGG knockout a common opponent that Canelo arguably lost to would be a strong statement.

Lara and Canelo are both big Jnr Middles, he even said it himself. Lara will be the same size as GGG on fight night so size is no excuse here.

Let's see if Lara is all talk because chances are Haymon doesnt let him anywhere near the ring with GGG considering he will get his jaw knocked into the 3rd row.

Lara would be Golovkin's best opponent BY FAR.

There you go GGG fans, Loeffler yet again says it's possible so lets see if he actually tries to make it happen this time.

Unlike last time when he made no effort and just gave HBO a list of complete bums.

Oh for sure. Lara fights best in Long distance and GGG is a beast at cutting off the ring. Lara doesn't have an inside game to worry GGG at all!!
GGG would knock him out silly, I actually think it'll end pretty quick.

I'm replying to just about the dumbest thing I read in here, out of a lot of dumb in this post. All three of those not counting Ward, are far and away more accomplished than all but Geale on GGG's resume. That's called a step up, but for some reason... a former JWW in his 4th weightclass is a bigger challenge? Canelo is an easier fight than those guys... The GGG excuse brigade is out in full force, what a joke.

Papa Haymon dont give 2 ****s about Lara. He'll gladly let him go fight on HBO.
