    Calling someone out is easy. Golovkin's manager keeps mentioning his name but puts nothing in writing.
    You know very well that the only reason Loeffler mentions Lara is because Lara's manager is always making bogus challenges on twitter. You also are aware that Lara will not fight anywhere other than on PBC and GGG is only able to fight on HBO as per his exclusive contract.

    So maybe you should stop diggling your dirk and smarten up a bit. You constant anti Golovkin posts have gotten beyond boring. You are not that ****** are you?

      If he doesn't want to unify to share belts with the twins then he should move up.
      Twins are not going to win belts lol unless the division is dead or one of them get a shot at k-9

        This fight is garbage but Lara has fought almost everyone who mattered in his division. He won't fight the Charlos and who knows what Andrade is doing these days. Ishe Smith was a step down but at least he was a world champion the year before.

        I would have preferred to see Lara even against a little-known fighter but in his prime. Someone like Maciel, Culcay, Rabchenko, Cuello, Sandoval.

          Lara should be fighting a MW if he wants to prove he deserves a shot against GGG.

            But he doesn't just mention Lara. He says that he will try to make the fight happen. He says the fight is possible. He doesn't say "we can't fight Lara because of PBC". He says if Lara wants to fight, we will try to make it happen.

            And then he does nothing about it and handpicks the next bum.

                It's not his fault he can't get a big fight because of the risk factor. Certain managers name drop him and then make no attempt to arrange fights with him.
                These pieces of shxt can't understand so I wouldn't try too hard to explain it

                  What did Willie Jr do exactly to deserve a shot?

                  That's like saying Golovkin should be fighting at SMW to deserve a shot at Froch or Chavez.

                  Lara has said he's willing to fight him - so why has there been no attempt to make it happen? It would be by far the best win on Golovkin's pitiful resume.

                    Lara keeps talking Golovkin, but he could've made a statement and fought a MW next Friday instead of Cotto's crushed can. Lara vs Tureano Johnson, Heiland, Korobov, Mora, or Paul Mendez would've all been very doable fights and much better than D-Rod.

                      Does Golovkin have to do the same to get a shot at Froch or Chavez? We know he's not fighting Ward. As far as I'm aware he'll only go to 168 for a PPV fight....but Lara's gotta start campaigning at 160 before he gets a shot at Golovkin?
