Can we get a Floyd vs Lara fight?

As a so called lover of the sweet science, why don't you want this fight more than any other?

Because the true saying is it's "the sweet science of bruising". Not move move move and hold then occasionally throw back.

Real true boxing in its purest form is to hit your oppenent then make your oppenent miss and then make him immediately pay for missing you. Not hit your oppenent then dance or get on your bike or hold to not get hit, because when you do that after you hit the guy you are not in position to make him pay for missing you. Thats not real true boxing.

True boxing when pulled off is a thing of beauty, when an oppenent can hit someone then make his oppenent miss and then immediately make that oppenent pay for missing is beautiful to watch.


Floyd can pull that style off pretty well at times, but Lara not at all. Lara will dance, move and get on his bike to not get hit but then he will only occasionally punch back(maybe 20 punches per round).

Why not? Lara doesn't have an exclusive network deal that would prevent it. HBO has said they will put on Haymon fighters "if the price is right". So, if HBO/Haymon agree on a purse, the only thin preventing it would be GGG and his team.

Well then you should explain this to the TS as a reason you do not think a Floyd/lara fight should be made.

Oh, I'm perfectly fine with a Floyd-Lara fight being made. It's not like I will be watching Floyd's next fight, or Lara's for that matter, no matter who the opponent is.

Anyone who thinks Haymon will permit one of his headliners, and Lara headlined his last card on Spike, to fight on HBO and be embarrassed is delusional at best and a fool at worst. Why is it that some people have such a difficult time accepting what is so blatantly obvious that even a child could understand?

Lara and Mayweather have almost the same style. They pose a bit and potshot, and run. I rarely see Lara clinch, though. Makes one wonder why Lara is not getting paid the same millions when he's getting KO wins once in a while.

Boxing fans are too ****** now to appreciate that Chess Match so it will never happen. But since he is fighting on CBS and the fight will be free...Why Not?!?

Nailed it. Boxing has the dumbest fans in sports. They prefer to watch 2 guys with no head movement, no defense and just enough power to hurt each other without KO-ing each other **** at each other for 12 rounds than watch 2 elites like Mayweather and Lara joust.

Your opinion that Lara will be embarrassed is just that, an opinion. it isn't a fact. What is a fact is HBO controls if this fight gets made. What is also a fact is there is no impediment to Lara fighting on HBO, other than your opinion that Haymon will not let Lara.

How about Team GGG just make an offer. If Haymon or Lara turns it down, nothing left for me to say. If HBO or GGG turns it down, be an adult, call them on it and watch GGG take on the DWOTY or GMOTY instead.

[StiffBlab]

If not Lara, give me someone else. Floyd should take on someone tough for his last fight like SRL, hearns and Duran did. don't you agree?

Mayweather is 38. Go look up what Hearns, SRL and Duran were doing at that age.

God damn boxing fans are ******.

HBO won't let GGG fight anyone that can move or is a good ring general, because that would ruin the myth that GGG is the invincible KO artist.

GGGs boxing skills are way overrated.

Can we get a Floyd vs Lara fight?

Few days ago nobody heard me... Longer reach, "Cuban style"...

(Lara holds the "WBA World" and "IBO World" belts at 154.)

[MDPopescu]

... "Floyd is defending the WW titles next", doe...
... like he did in the Maidana II fight, when he "defended" his 154 belts at 147...
