Comments Thread For: Erislandy Lara Ready, Wants Gennady Golovkin Next

[-PBP-]

He is not a PPV star but he is a big name fighter his TV ratings on HBO prove this. Lara could NEVER headline or pull TV ratings like GGG. So compared to Lara and every fighter out there besides the top 3-5 Star fighters in boxing GGG is a big name. He's not Cotto or Canelo or Mayweather but he is next tier from there.

Big name fighters don't need to beg for fights. They are the shot callers in this sport. He ain't there yet.

lol you could throw 1st row Lara tickets on the ground and 99% of people wouldnt even bend over to pick them up lol

I would if he was fighting GGG... I would walk away for anyone else though.

If you think Lara ran vs Canelo......lol

He might set the world record in the steeple chase.

i want to see it. ggg would derail this lara hypetrain once and for all. lara is a very limited runner, he isnt as skilful as people think he is

[Weebler I]

I'm sure most of us would pick him to beat Miguel Cotto

I'd pick Cotto to take Lara's head off on current form. He has looked sensational in his last 3 fights.

GGG is not going to be handed a golden ticket to land Canelo or Cotto. Both of them are like "Triple who? **** that dude, I put in all this work and he thinks he can get a payday and make a name off me for beating up Willie Monroe? His ass can wait 2 years."

Canelo has only been fighting live bodies for 2 years. His reputation owes as much to geography and ginger hair as anything on his record.

"A Lara fight presents no money."

rofl, team double G

Huge Golovkin fan but I find it hard to dispute this!

If GGG had Canelo's resume the fights with Canelo and/or Cotto would have been signed yesterday.

That's harsh he's being a professional since he was 15.
No matter who you are fighting that's still a big achievement. He was fighting men before he could even grow bum fluff.

No they wouldn't.

They'd avoid him just like they are.

Unlike many on here , I respect GGG accomplishments as its a very difficult feat to KO as many fighters in a row as he has . People say that he's fighting no body's as a lame excuse to marginalize him . But what people fail to realize or just don't wanna profess publicly is that fighters like Rosado , Stevens , Murray are hard nose blue collar fighters who are VERY difficult to stop, yet people still wanna pretend like he hasn't done anything . Lets stop the act people ! If you think KO-ing Rosado , Murray , Stevens and even Monroe is an easy task then u shouldn't be watching boxing because clearly your confused !
