Comments Thread For: Erislandy Lara Open To Facing Andy Lee For WBO Belt

[tiliheels]

i thot lara still running from canelo in the mgm grand??
how he will fight andy lee???????
i dont get it sombody explain me plis men.

corny..i thought canelo should still be takin the rematch to prove that he can knockout weak runners instead of robbing them with a 117 score so how we he somewhere fighting kirkland who was a year off and undisciplined as it gets? o yea and struggling with alcoholism

more like nobody wants to deal with his style for 12 rounds..if ggg beat lara and ko'd him every ggg fanbody in this comment thread would have it as their GIF. pic...when ppl question ggg's resume they'd point right to lara so that calls BS on your "nobody cares about him" mess..nobody wants to see their favorite fighter in a close fight. not saying lara will win, but i obviously have more belief in GGG than his own fans. or maybe i just dont have my ******** wide open for him ya know

Lara would be a good test for GGG, he has fought nobodies

lol nobody cares about watching Lara fight thats the problem, dude has called out everybody, n nobody responds lol

hes last fight was against Delvin who Cotto sparked in 3rds n looked so impressive doin it that brought hes career back, Lara beat him in great schooling but that was expected

Lara been calling out Golovkin for 2 years, Golovkin won't even acknowledge him. Time to force the issue by winning a title at 160, isn't this what Golovkin fans told him to do? Now they're going to change their minds and use it against him.

He got his shot at Canelo and he squandered it with his track meet. Nobodies outside of hardcores are trying to watch him fight, and he has no one to blame but himself.

Exactly!! That dude ran his mouth so much before that fight. And then once he tasted Canelo's power ran like a chicken. Yeah, it was a close fight and maybe he did get screwed as Canelo gassed in the later rounds...Then again, Lara had to have known coming in this was his big shot, that he wasn't going to win a close decision againist one of the most popular fighters in the world and had to sell out, take chances, and make it exciting. And he didn't. Then he cried thief, which made it even worse. In the end, runners lose because fans want to see fighters man up and most won't put up with that BS for long.

I can't really fault canelo in that fight, Lara made it virtually impossible to do anything. I've watched for close to 20 years and was shocked at laras performance, it was a disgrace.

paul williams, molina, canelo, vanes, trout...nobodies??
lara did lose a round and he's not a ko artist doesnt mean GGG cant get in there and spart him out..and the truth is that lara ggg would be ggg's highest ratings easy..just like when donaire was doing good rating and the ole "boring" rigo stepped in and topped all his ratings..imo GGG's team should be taking this fight and offering rather than waiting on an offer..he kills lara imo,,but that is not for my opinion to decide..2 of the best have to handle that

u have a soccor picture..the most boring sport in the world where the score ends 1 to 0 lol..a sport where they only attempt a goal every 10 minutes..justa bunch of running ...but a boxer cant be conservative in the ring while landing big punches per round?

[mjgaz6]

the career advancement argument aye?? are u his manager or a fan of the sport? u ppl i tell ya..competitive fights dont come a dime a dozen and then when they do one gy cant be a boxer, both guys have to be popular, one guy cant be a certain age, one guy cant be a certain weight....blah, blah, and blah...and i bet your consistency in these things are slim to none..i bet u want andrade title gone if he dont fight lara tho...thats wat i'm talkin about..tell me how andrade's career goes anywhere from fight lara...be his manager too..

This is what you don't understand. You are comparing apples to oranges. GGG is a superstar - probably one of the five most popular fighters in the sport right now. Andrade is no name and hasn't fought in over a year. Andrade isn't even a headliner at this point. If he fought Lara - Lara would be the headline fighter. It's a completely different ball game.

Also, do you understand GGG has a contract with HBO? You get that right? Lara is with Haymon. So, it's a moot point. It's not happening.

Furthermore, It's easy to talk trash and not back it up. Guaranteed if Lara would have beat up Canelo he'd have better opportunities right now. But he ran instead then followed it up with two UD's against veteran journeymen Ishe Smith and Delvin Rodriguez. Sorry that's not going to get you many big names. (And thankfully I didn't see his last fight, but from what I read no one showed up to watch) The guy is irrevelant.

Dude, honestly, get out of your deluded fantasy land. Lara didn't land squat for big punches. Are you saying Canelo was hurt? 'Cause that's not what I saw. Canelo landed the bigger punches and then Lara ran and resorted to pot shotting. His performance was a joke and it was completely disgraceful. That's why he is fighting the likes of Delvin Rodriguez and not GGG. I know it's a bitter pill to swallow, but you should really try to deal with reality.

PS- go look at the power punch stat #'s on this site Canelo landed more in 10 of the 12 rounds with one round being even. The only round Lara landed more was the 3rd Round 2-1 and Canelo threw more in that round.

contradiction alert: floyd was a superstar had a contract with haymon..but when ppl said he should work with hbo to make manny or the GGG fight..it was always his fault if it didnt happen lol..ggg is no superstar..1.75 million and ratings dont make u a superstar....the fact of the matter lara would be his highest ratings just like rigo was donaires highest..and it would be the best name on his resume..there is not pressure on GGG to make this fight like it was pressure on floyd to be the guy who initiated the pac fight...but w/e...idc let ggg can his way through the division more..i hope canelo loses and cotto drops the belt and retires..he still wont be a ppv star bc karma will catch up with him due to how the fans present him while they ridicule other fighters for similar occurrences

no big left hands?? u're joking right..big punches doesn mean it has to wobble you..there round 1-3 some guys could have touched the canvas form those left hands...and he also landed some form round 8- 12 as well..canelo's body punches would catch arm and body takin steam off bc he was not accure thats why lara was still a live body able to move and load up on left hands in the late rounds..
