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

[Ray*]

Somebody needs to tweet this to Golden boy & Oscar because they're really going to be running out of excuses. They want to fight their mandatory (which IBF says isn't needed now) and another fight after that? For what exactly?

Oscar doing everything he can to desperately save his fighter from getting destroyed. Even offering himself to fight GGG instead .

Nothing is going to happen, Canelo would end up fighting Lemieux for the belt and nothing would happens after that too.

It's just the reality of the situation, yeah it's going to be a duck. GB just got Lemieux a title, had over 10,000 people buy tickets, sold on Canadian ppv. He's a new cash cow in a new market, they're not going to trade that away for a one time payment vs Golovkin no matter how badly fans want that fight.

Far as I'm concerned from a fan's perspective, Lemieux/Golovkin isn't that competitive of a fight. Golovkin kills Lemieux right now, and GB knows it. If I were you I'd stop getting excited for that fight for now.

Lemieux has not fought anyone that had much power since Rubio, you could see it when both Rosado and N'Dam landed, Lemieux got shook up. I think a Golovkin left hook or a right would end it all very quickly. They will keep him far away from Golovkin.

"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

FYI Lara is just a contender with little draw in a lower division. If he wants a fight with GGG, he better make some noise. Since he doesn't thats probably because he wants to take another route.

L to P Will and Canelo
D with Vanes and Molina.

What a world beater Lara is.

You also answered none of my questions. What does Lara bring to the table? I'll wait. After Golovkin stomps him, will that finally get Canelo and Cotto to step up to the plate? Yeah, didn't think so. You keep on ignoring that and the HBO/Haymon beef, while the rest of us here in reality keep calling you a dunce.

Yeah he really lost to Paul Williams.

Golovkin fans will go to any lengths to discredit the best guy that he will have ever faced.

Lara does a hell of a lot more for his career than the waiters and bus boys he's been fighting throughout his entire career, that's for sure. Unless you're afraid he might look bad and/or lose which seems to be a common concern amongst GGG fans.

Lara and his team have already said they want the fight. Next excuse?

Lemiuex doesn't want the fight. Tom Loeffler needs to get on the phone to someone who does.

Telephone rings:

"Si?"

"Hi, Tom Loefler here"

"Gulp ..... AAAAAAL!"

They haven't told Loeffler so I consider that namedropping only. They are not serious. They dont feel like cashing Lara out yet.

And Lara's team hasn't done anything besides talk ****
How is he going to fight on HBO?

You have to create fake scenarios because the real ones haven't occurred. Loeffler refuses to dial those digits, maybe he lost Al's number?
