Comments Thread For: Lemieux's Next Stop: Mandatory Defense, Not Golovkin

[OnePunch]

Right....so why doesn't Loeffler call someone who wants the fight instead of calling people he knows aren't interested?

Weird one.

maybe Loeffler's English isnt plain enough for you. He has repeatedly said they prefer to stay at 160 but will go up or down for a BIG fight. On what planet is Lara a BIG fight?

Now who knows, after Loeffler exhausts all other options in the next week or 2 for a Sept opponent, perhaps Lara gets the call. Even though its a garbage fight, and GGG mauls Lara in under 6, I hope it happens just to shut up all the "but but but Lara doe" morons on this board..........

[HeroBando]

Are we talking about Golovkin again?

Oh no wait, that would be 1000-1

Monroe is better than Rodriguez. More importantly, Lara is a turnoff, GGG is burgeoning draw, and they fight for similar money. Thats why Hbo will outlast Pbc, theyre not paying the likes of Lara 1m to get murdered by GGG, much less for a 100-1 mismatch with pathetic ratings and live gate

They don't have to "go" anywhere, the fight happens at 160.

Great, I await that call but I fear step 2, 3 and 4 of my Golovkin formula will take place. Step 1 is already complete.

Lara's resume ****s on Golovkin's. Next.

They're paying GGG $1.5m to fight 1000-1 underdogs

They're paying GGG $1.5m to fight 1000-1 underdogs

and PBC paid Lara $1 million to fight Delvin friggin Rodriguez

and ROC paid Ward $2 million to fight the slob Paul Smith


so whats your point?

So would Bradleys but thatd be a laughable mismatch, right? And Bradley was solid top 10 p4p unlike Lara

Theyre currently paying 1.5-1.6m for a Ggg fight. Challenger gets what they bring and a bit more, Ggg is generous. But doubt generous enough to give fcuking Lara 50/50, and even thats short of his Pbs wages

They want Lemieux vs Canelo obviously

They want Lemieux making them money. Not sure if you have noticed or not, but Goldenboy is a little short on stars at the moment.

I'd love to see that fight too, Lara's speed, foot movement, stamina and ring generalship can give the untested GGG a tough fight, and that's what a lot of people want to see, GGG getting tested and facing adversity, also Lara's name is bigger than GGG's last 5 opponents combined, I'd definitely buy the PPV.

I guess Lara would test GGG, in the same way that hare coursing tests a greyhound. The hare can't hurt the greyhound. The only weapons he has are speed and maneuverability. The only question is, how long will it take the greyhound to catch him and kill him?

It's a spectacle, and it's very entertaining for people who enjoy watching greyhounds catch hares. But it's not a fight.

7, 700, 7 million....irrelevant....and classic deflection. Why aren't you mad that your guy's promoter is apparently a bare faced liar or address that point? That's essentially what you're saying - that Tom Loeffler is full of ****.

Yeah we know YOU and the rest of the Golovtards don't care about him fighting a world class tricky fighter like Lara. As long as his hype train doesn't veer off the tracks before he gets paid, you'll be happy with whatever **** sandwich they serve you next.

How many actual boxing fans cared about Willie Jr or whatever grease monkey they pull out of a garage for his next fight?

News flash: Tom Loeffler is a boxing promoter.

As I said before: I understand Lemieux not willing to fight GGG next -- at the end of the day just "who this Golovkin guy actually fought" since now? Bums only, right?...

As about the Lara "context":
1) Lara at least should provide a "pass" signed by Haymon that he is allowed to fight on HBO...
2) Lara should wait until Cotto and Canelo give Golovkin that step aside money and sign a paper that they will meat GGG right after their presumed fight this fall...
