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

[Juof]

At least this time the article says this is from his manager DeCubas, all the quotes are from him.

Make it happen though. A "name" on GGG's resume at least. Don't see Lara going past round 7. DeCubas is full of it though, I highly doubt they are targeting GGG. I'm sure Haymon will make Lara vs Charlo soon.

Same trainer Charlos and Lara both use ronnie shields they have sparring footage on youtube.

Lara(B-side) wants GGG(A-side), then he needs to leave Haymon.

Golovkin is contractually obligated to HBO and Lara's with Haymon, and everyone knows HBO won't do business with Haymon.

if you watch GGG's recent fights against guys like Adama, Murray, Monroe, and others you see a pattern. Goovkin comes to **** but if he cant get an opponent out within the first 2-3 rounds he gets tired/frustrated/careless really quick. Monroe actually threw and landed more punches than Golovkin did in that fight, many of those punches were landed in rounds 4 and 5. Lucky for Golovkin he had an opponent like Monroe that cant punch for ****. Wait till GGG finally steps it up and starts fighting the big boys with some pop in those punches.

He doesn't have to. He's not contractually obligated to Haymon. He fought Martirosyan on HBO and in the midst of the so-called cold war without any problems. He can leave Haymon any tine he wants. Haymon doesn't even give a crap about him. He's a boring runner.

Vanes vs Lara went to purse bids. Top Rank won the bids and the fight was on HBO. That's why Lara was on HBO.

GGG isn't about that Lara life - he's content with the Rubio and Stevens types

You just proved one of my points. Haymon doesn't give a crap about Lara. Roc Nation won the bid on the Korovo vs Quilin purse. What happened there?

Maybe he does and maybe he doesn't. But even if Haymon doesn't care about Lara, would he be willing to help out HBO by giving Golovkin a credible opponent that would raise his profile?

this Lara, dude let Molina/Vanes draw with him, and finally got under Canelo's skin far enough to get to perform on his biggest stage ever, and came out and didn't even fight for like... 4 of the rounds. One of the most skilled fighters in the current crop, and I really believe it, but he finds ways to make his opponents stronger than they are

Or it could just be them finding ways.
