    We're talking about levels of fighters. Proska is absolutely terrible.
    CLEARLY you don't understand being that if you did you would know I'm not the one who believes Proska>Lara and I was simply stating what I think bats rationale is.

      Why is there so much more demand of people wanting to see Lara/Golovkin over DeGale/Golovkin?

        Weighing 170 on fight night isn't really relevant since every weight class typically rehydrates ~15 pounds or so. Guys at 154 are typically around 170. Guys at 160 are typically around 175. Guys at 168 are typically around 183 and so on.

        Personally, I don't think Lara would be able to hang at 160. I've said this before; he seems a bit fragile at 154 as it is. The way Angulo tossed him around and even Vanes at times was pretty telling. I could be wrong though.



        Never was it meant to be a fair comparison - the point was to use a silly example to show how the "best name" on the resume might not be worth much in the end.



        I agree Lara would be better, I'm just offering what I think Bat's rationale was behind his comments.
        I agree entirely but the fact he's 170 plus makes the jump easier.

        I understand but I don't think it would just be the best name.

        The rationale is non existent. Proska is no where near Lara's level and that's at any weight.

          Lara's asking for it. DeGale might take the fight, but neither side is asking for it.

          And I'd love to see Golovkin shut people up by whooping Lara. Somehow this fight has become one where he actually can.

              There is literally no way Proksa was better than Lara. I don't know how that conversation started, but come on. Lara is much better.

                There is no rationale. Battling Nelson is the ultimate troll and propaganda merchant. He'll try and sell you a turd as diamond ring.

                  Because Tom Loeffler already poured cold water on the DeGale fight

                  I can't understand how you can have the mantra of "no one will fight me" and also be selective of who you want to fight. It literally makes no sense.

                    Lara is better (i.e. the Cuban school)... and he has longer reach...

                      we do want to see degale vs ggg but loeffer said he would only move up for a big fight (ppv)?
