Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: What Has Lara Done To Earn a Shot?

I don't like this at all...I love GGG and it's true that Lara should have put Delvin away, but Lara is a big name and fans want to see GGG fight a big name...and not too many people are calling GGG out. This invites the ducking accusations. And why is the trainer rejecting a fight based on these reasons. If he thinks his fighter can't win I understand, but he's not his manager or his promoter. What business is it of his? Bad form.

Well if Trout is terrible, and outclassed Cotto, what's the point of Cotto-GGG? You know, with GGG being the greatest middleweight ever and all.

The point is for GGG to collect that title and then move up. Everyone wants Canelo to win so that GGG would get credit.


Every single person in and around boxing and fans worldwide know GGG crushes Cotto and the fight isn't even close. It's about the title, the last piece in the puzzle before moving up

Lara needs to win the Boxcinos like Monroe did to be considered.

FACT: Lara goes down like Willie Monroe doe

This is a thread about GGG-Lara.....

I love how the GGGroupies bring up Ward as a deflection.

Ward is relevant to the convo. He's t the other guy GGG wants nothing to do with. Difference is, I think GGG beats the piss outta Lara. Where I think Ward totally embarrasses Gennady.

Lara was rather disappointing in his last fight.


Against a guy he completely outgunned and whom Cotto wrecked.

You could argue Willie Monroe's last performance in Boxcino was better than Lara's ho-hum performance against Delvin.

Lara ran from Canelo for 12 rounds. So for the "slick-boxer" fan boys Online, that means he's an ATG...

Monroe is more known than Lara doe

Sanchez talking right through himselves ass lol.

lara "the cuban turncoat" would run and turn the fight into a stinkfest just like he did with canola oil

calling lara slick is an insult to actual slick fighters like toney. what are these mad skills that lara supposedly possess? his best assets are running (literally running) and holding. his defense is so sloppy angulo was clipping him with 1 MPH punches with ease. he doesn't do anything clever in the ring whatsoever. this dude is so overrated. it's like his rep is entirely based on him being Cuban.
