If Lemieux doesn't fight Golovkin next even with the IBF approving a unification then he's avoiding, plain and simple.

Everyone KNOWS he's avoiding it. Most people KNEW beforehand. How dumb do you have to be to think it's going to happen?

Uh oh. Somebody get Andre Ward to confront Bernard & Oscar to stop lying to the fans!

"Make a play" in what sense? Like I said, it's funny that Loeffler is straight on the phone to Oscar before they've even put the belt around Lemiuex's waist but when it comes to Lara, he always seems to forget to call him. Why is that?

Golovkin's team will dictate the network it's on (HBO), it's up to them to make an offer to Lara. Why do they call everyone else and brag about it but when it comes to Lara, it's Lara who has to "make a play"

Like I said, Golovkin's team are like a bunch of high school girls playing hard to get when it comes to Lara or Andre Ward.

But they're scrambling around like fat birds looking for a prom date calling Lemiuex and now even Oscar himself non-stop to try to make those fights

You'll never give up on this Lara theory will you?

Does Lara have a belt at 160? No
Does he have a belt at 154? No
Has he fought at 160? No

What exactly does Lara bring to the table OTHER than the fact that he got beat by Canelo that one time?
He's more recognizable because he took an L against Canelo, and that's the thing you're trying to sell him on? GTFOH.

Lara's useless for advancing GGG's career. Get over it.

Oh no, here comes GGG trying to become undisputed. What a can crusher. Fighting them other titlists for their belts. Total wimp.

Why is everything so argumentative and downright gloomy with you? I don't care whether you don't believe it will happen, I've posted it so the boxing fans on this forum know the mandatory shot doesn't have to be adhered to in this scenario.

Get on some medication you depressive weirdo.

Here I'll save you the trouble:

"He's better than anyone on Lara's entire resume!" - DirkUK

And then someone will say:

"But Haymon/HBO aren't doing business together!"

Dirk will reply with:

"But then Leoffler shouldn't pretend he's doing EVERYTHING he can to get fights, while clearly AVOIDING the issue of Lara!"

And this would have continued for eternity. I just saved you the trouble, thank me later.

Time to give Lara a call.

Even after Lemieux fights his mandatory defense, De La Hoya said the inclination would be to have Lemieux fight one more time after that before looking to make a Golovkin fight, perhaps in the summer of 2016.

"In the meantime, GGG can go fight Andre Ward or go call out Carl Froch or do whatever he wants to do," said De La Hoya, who has his own designs on a possible fight with Golovkin should he end his retirement, as he is thinking of doing that. "Right now, David is going to take a little time off after that war he had with N'Dam and then come back and fight the mandatory later this year."

But he said Golovkin is still a preferred big opponent for Lemieux a couple of fights down the road.

"Sometime next year, second half of next year," De La Hoya said. "It wouldn't be one fight away, but as long as they fight. I want to see that fight happen and so does David Lemieux.

Would Lara be the best fighter on Golovkin's resume? Yes or no

Wasn't being argumentative but you're just incredibly ignorant if you actually believed that GBP were going to put their newly signed and newly crowned champion straight into a unification fight with Golovkin.

[bigboxerABC]

Depends who you ask.

IMO he beat Paul Williams and Vanes, beat Angulo, and many think he beat Canelo (close fight for me).

Do i think Lara will win? Dont think so but that doesnt mean i wouldnt love to see him try.

Best fighter to date for GGG

This is the post of the day in my honest opinion
