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

[i'm a fun haver]

Golovkin is willing, since when?

Gennady's team has openly turned down the very thought of this fight on multiple occasions.

Tom Loeffler has said on multiple occasions that they are open to the fight and Lara can get it next. Fight at 160 and be able to fight on HBO.
Do you even follow what's going on?
Tell us what network Lara is fighting on this Friday.


We are going to go over this every time one of you mouth breathers act like politics don't exist and fighters can just fight on any network.

Does Lara have the power to keep GGG off him, I don't think so. AT least he wants to fight GGG.Lara fits HBO's "if the price is right" requirement for putting Haymon fighters on and Lara doesn't have anything else as of right now so it would seem relatively easy to make, if HBO is willing to put GGG in with a fighter whose style might be a problem.

It was always answered. It was just one of the many excuses for GGG fans to use as to why the fight can't happen.

The same way they're trying to use Ward's catchweight as an indicator that he can't make 168. Even though he weighed 173.4 two and half weeks before the Smith fight

Is Ward fighting at 168 next or not?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

doubt it. they're absolutely terrified of a JMW who went life and death with alfredo angulo.

It's not about them being terrified . I'm sure they're confident Golovkin will win but the risk of Lara making him look bad is certainly there. If I'm not mistaken, outside of the KD's, Lara pretty much boxed Angulo's **** off and stopped him.

No but he clearly isn't having a problem making weight which is what certain Golovkin fans would try to have you believe.

He's better than anyone on that middleweight list. Jermain "Give me candy or I'll shoot you" Taylor is number 5

Those are terrible rankings. No way should Murray, Jacobs, or N'Dam be that low. Sergio, Taylor, and Soliman shouldn't be there at all.

Honestly, Lara's right there with Quillin and Jacobs. He could beat either. So he'd be top 5 at 160.

[i'm a fun haver]

No but he clearly isn't having a problem making weight which is what certain Golovkin fans would try to have you believe.

Been out 19 months, supposedly just waiting on an offer.
If he can make 168, then why is he fighting at 172?
GGG is supposed to fight at 172 now?
David Itskowich says that the time isn't right for GGG vs Ward right now.
The article was on this website. Why do you pretend Ward is an option for GGG to fight in September?

3rd, unless I knew Sergio was completely healthy, then I'd have Lara 4th.
