Who should Gennady Golovkin fight next?

Lara has a far better resume than Dzinzurik ever had. Stop it.

Dzinziruk was unbeaten, while Lara is not. Also Dzinziruk held legitimate belt at JMW, again - Lara did not. He even defended it 6 times, so he was not just some bum.

Lets see how he handles Lara style. I think Lara would make him look silly at times if they fought. Who;s GG best opponant to date anyway? Geale? Murray? Lara would school those jokers.

Lara will be beaten pretty bad by Murray - very wrong style for him.

So? He didn't fight anyone good. Lara has fought a who's who in his division and never been clearly beaten.

Lemi, but Oscar don't get down like that!

Yeah, and he lost to both of them.

And if by "school" you mean run like a rabbit at a hare coursing meet, lose on points, then claim he'd been robbed, you are probably right.

Paul Williams fight was one of the worst robberies in recent memory. This is where you see GGG fans start to lose credibility. Why the need to denigrate Lara with a blatant lie? Must be concern

A blatent lie? What the fuck are you talking about?

Lara lost to Paul Williams. The fact that you disagree with the verdict does not make me a liar for talking about it.

I didn't watch the whole fight - yeah, it was that good - so I'm not going to argue about whether the judges got the verdict right or not. Frankly, I don't give a shit either way. But Williams won and Lara lost.

Why are you talking about "GGG fans"? Just talk about Golovkin...
... Lara is a good fight -- maybe even dangerous for GGG...
... But just tell us how it may be done (with GGG on HBO and Lara signed with PBC)?... Just curious...

I don't know if you have ever managed to watch an entire Erislandy Lara "fight" without falling asleep, but I have.

So trust me on this - GGG vs Lara would not be a good fight, and there isn't a single damn thing that Lara could do that would be dangerous to Golovkin. It would be a terrible mismatch that would end with Lara either being knocked out or thrown out by the ref for not trying to fight.

Tom Loeffler contacts his "good friend", Al Haymon and makes an offer to come fight on HBO. It's not that hard.

Aha... I understand now -- Loeffler has a "good friend" behind the curtain... But GGG is ducking Lara... and Jr., Quillin, Lee, Canelo, Cotto, Froch, Degale, etc... and Ward, of course...

Or it could end with Lara frustrating GGG, making him miss repeatedly, and him ending not only his KO streak but upsetting him, say like Zahir Raheem did Erik Morales.

Sorry, but some of us are not just going to give GGG a win, the same way there are boxers you wouldn't just give a win to either.

Forget "never been clearly beaten" - who has he actually beaten himself?

I'll tell you - Lara's best win is over a shot version of Alfredo Angulo, and he had to get up off the deck twice to pull that one off.

If Angulo could deck Lara twice, what do you think GGG would do to him?

Nobody would have to give GGG anything if he fought Lara. They might have to give Lara CPR to bring him back to life at the end though.
