Is or Is Not Lara a Quality Fight at 160

[Barcham]

See what I did there. Just replace Lara's name with Rosado's name & 1 more ko. Except that Lara his hands down, levels above rosado.

Rosado was ready, willing and ABLE to take the fight, three things that Lara has not indicated in any way. His manager sending tweets on Lara's twitter account notwithstanding. Not to mention that this was over two years ago and the situation with GGG was completely different to what it is today. If Lara wants to fight Golovkin, he can start by getting clearance to fight on HBO from his master Al Haymon and approval from HBO as well. Then and only then can his name be mentioned as a possible opponent for GGG or any other non-PBC fighter on a non-PBC network.

Lara's resume isn't good enough but Willie Monroe's is? Lara would be one of the best fighters on Golovkins resume even if you don't believe he'd be the best.

How many fights does Lara have at 160 compared to Monroe? Nobody is saying Willie ****ing Monroe was deserving of anything, but when a fighter at 160 wants a stay busy fight, why not fight another guy at 160 who wants to fight? If Lara wants GGG why did he just fight another jr middleweight? He couldn't find any middleweight to fight and prove that he really wants to be at 160?

Wouldn't Lara be the best fighter on GGG's resume

How is Lara better than Murray?

And what do you guys always say about that fight?
"Why did he drag a jr middle up to 160?"

See what I did there? Actually, no, you did it yourself.

Lara has 12 fights over the 154 limit. How many does Canelo and Cotto have?

How is Lara better than Murray?

Because he has beaten better fighters than Murray ever has and come close to beating another. The only thing Murray has ever done is lose to an injured old Martinez and get a draw against Sturm that people only think of as a robbery because it was Sturm in Germany.

How is Lara better than Murray?

Murray is **** average. He had a good night against Martinez but look at him. He does nothing special. He's slow of both hand and feet. He's basically just tough with a good defence.

If you can't see that Lara is on a different level skill wise then you should stop watching boxing.

So you'd rather him fight bums just because they campaign at middleweight than world class fighters from different divisions?

[Bigg Rigg]

Because that is where the GGG fight would be at, for GGG's belts.

Don't say he is and when he inevitably gets KO'd start chirping that he was brought up in weight doe, GGG fighting small JMWs doe, etc.

I'm cool with the fight. Cotto and Canelo ain't fighting him. Quillin is a b1tch. Lemieux is taking a mandatory before he gets it in with Golovkin. Ward just fought and would need another tune up. Froch is playing games. Nobody left for GGG.

[bigjavi973]

To be fair, Golovkin fought Rosado when he couldn't even get Macklin or Murray or guys on that level in the ring. Now he can, so a Rosado would be less excusable.

I agree. More so the reasoning why if he can't get fights as his team says, why not fight Lara (again for those, lara > Rosado)? I mean... shit they picked monroe over lara because he was more known according to sanchez.
