Comments Thread For: Trainer: Lara Has Options at 154, No Rush Moving Up

[Hype job]

154 is his natural weight and it's a better weight class than 160 so why would he move up unless Golovkin's trainer stops rejecting a fight with him?

Natural weight? Lol he's draining to pick on smaller guys, he's the same weight on fight night as GGG.

[FBLM]

He would fight Little G in a second. But we all know that K2 doesn't want that fight so what is Lara supposed to do? He can't force Golovkin to get in the ring with him.

At the moment 154 is deeper and better than 160 so this is a smart move for Erislandy.

go to 160 and campaign, show that your serious. You cant just call out names and because that fighter doesnt give you a handout call him a ducker. That is the ******est s.hit I have ever heard and yet these fighters like thurman etc are doing it and dumb casuals (who think they real boxing fans) condone it.

golovkin is the most protected overhyped coward in boxing history. the greats usually move up, this clown is camping in a weak division waiting for small guys to climb up. wow, never have i seen such cowardice on display. whats the point of unifying when you have no career defining fights. go to 168, go to 175 and chase down challenges. dont compare this clown to ray robinson or hopkins ever again. his fans are really ok waiting on junior middleweights to outgrow their division. golovkin has never stepped out of his comfort zone, has never dared to be great. ask his fans what they think of him jumping to 175 to fight kovalev and they'll laugh at you, but thats exactly what hopkins did when he faced tarver. its obvious the game is different now when a coward like this is hailed as some sort of future legend. true greats put themselves in unfamiliar situations and come out victorious. they dont sit and wait for little guys. unification means NOTHING without a career defining fight, PERIOD.

man STFU with this "fight night weight" BS. keith thurman was 162 on fight night against guerrero. so i guess thurman should fight golovkin next right? canelo has never weighed in at 160, hes not a full fledged middleweight no matter how hard you wanna believe he is. "hes draining to pick on small guys" first of all how do you know hes suffering making 155? you got some kind of inside information i dont? second of all wasn't golovkin willing to drain himself to fight the smaller mayweather? i dont hear you calling him a coward for that.

I'm convinced that a Kazakh got a hold of your wife and shagged her till he turned her inside out. It's the only thing can can explain such deep hate.

Oh rly? So GGG's camp should offer him a fight instead of rejecting it.

[sirron000]

Then Lara should shut up about ggg if he's only interested in fighting the ishe smiths and jan zavecks of the world. Ggg should shut up about Ward too. You guys crucify ggg for the same **** Lara does but instead just have some smart ass response to it.

Please point out where Lara said he didn't want the fight at 160. What I comprehended and what was written is that Shields is giving his opinion...BUT then he said it is up to Lara and his management to make the decision.

Sounds like he didn't have this conversation with Lara or his team.

I really don't understand any fighter who calls out GGG and has descent boxing skills, the so called GGG fans are threaten and try to discredit them.

Lara said he wants GGG at 160, Shields says he can stay at 154.

Why should Lara shut up when he hasn't made one statement that he changed his mind about fighting G at 160?

boooo. but let me entertain your BS, i criticize golovkin and its "deep hate", but if i criticize mayweather, danny garcia, khan, cotto or canelo you wouldn't see an issue right. you'll most likely laugh and carry on. you are another proof golovkin is the most protected coward in boxing history. all im saying is 160 is dead, unifying that division means absolutely nothing, he has no threat there. therefore go and CHASE down challenges elsewhere, dont sit and wait for small guys to come up. didn't mayweather get criticized for beating the "smaller" hatton because they said he didn't really belong at 147? but if golovkin beats the 153lb cotto at 160 he will be crowned the king right. he declines to make any SACRIFICES whatsoever, he wants to live and die in his comfort zone. thats a COWARD. in the future he might prove me wrong but at the moment thats what it is. put down the pom poms and see this clown for who he is.

[brettWall]

I don't even see the possibility of Lara taking on Quillin or Jacobs. Guys that are in Haymon's backyard. Which means promotional issues are non-existent. And you're telling me Golovkin is supposed to bend over backwards just to fight a boring boxer who can't draw flies?

all golovkin fans should read this 30 times every morning. it'll clear their minds for the day.
