just read where someone tried to lump Cotto in as a B level fighter?? the man has only lost 4 fights! 1 - against a proven cheater 2 - Manny (the man didn't even have a corner for that fight 3 - Mayweather (speaks for itself) 4 - Trout, jumped back in the ring too soon, did not let his body fully heal from the Mayweather fight! Cotto has the 3rd best resume amongst active fighters (Bhop & Manny P) the man has fought everyone! 44 wins with 33 KO's - show some respect!

Lara called out everyone, but someone you clowns only believe GGG ducked him, while Floyd chose to fight someone else.
You can't duck guys from another division.
Canelo put himself dead in the path of GGG, that's what makes it a duck if he chooses not to fight.
Agreed, if Lara can hang, then it can be built. No excuses from haters saying Lara was too small.
His problem may be if he engages enough to be the MW fighters, he may not take the power.
Maybe Cotto will stop ducking his mandatory and actually fig at 160. If you wanted GGG against a name, tell you boy to stop being a coward.
After De La Hoya's Floyd rant, and Canelo insistence he isn't scared, if he vacates that belt to fight another MW, he'll look pretty dang pathetic.
With the WBC same day weigh in in affect, Canelo isn't gonna be able to put on a lot of muscle for a GGG fight.
If Canelo doesn't fight GGG next, he'll never fight him, because I don't see GGG taking yet another step aside.
If Lara was at 160! Lara isn't that good, GGG will hurt him, and quickly.
Actually all those are valid reasons. What has Lara ever done that gives him the right to jump from big fight to big fight?
The man called out Canelo, and lost! WTF!
Cotto has had a lineal title and WBC strap that GGG should have long ago had a shot at, and dude played *****.
Now Canelo willingly put himself in the line of fire.
If Lara can get some decent 160 wins, and the fight looks to be big, absolutely K2 takes it.
Lara couldn't even beat Canelo, what are his chances against GGG?

At 154 he's a B+ fighter... he did lose to the fish after all.
At 147 he's still a B+ fighter. He lost to margarito because he didn't know how to clinch. Something he rectified at 154. In any case he is a B+ plus fighter because he doesn't beat the true A fighters the division had in the past: De la Hoya, younger Mosley, Trinidad, Leonard, Duran, Robinson, Hearns, Mayweather, Pacquiao. Hell he even loses to some B+ guys like Whitaker that fought De la Hoya, and Margarito who beat him.
At 140 ,before he started having problems making, he was an A fighter. He had power, and threw triple left hooks, he had speed, and timing. All he needed was a bit of experience.

Originally posted by Starsam69 View PostYou know that GGG was heavily fettered in that fight, right? He didn't get to rehydrate because he had Visa issues getting into Panama, which is why you saw him with a beard because he didn't even have time to shave. He was jet lagged, sleep deprived, and dehydrated. You could see how yellow his face looked and the fact that in between rounds, Abel had to stretch out GGG's arms and slap him to get him to stay awake. Kovalev commented on this fight in a SecondsOut interview with Radio Rahim where he said, "The only time I have ever seen Gennady tired was in Panama vs. Ouma. Even then, he overcame a lot of adversity getting to the fight and he was drained, but he still got the knockout. It was incredible."

On November 25, Lara will defend his title against big under Jan Zaveck, who held the IBF world title in the welterweight division. The fight headlines a Premier Boxing Champions [PBC] on ESPN from the Hialeah Park Race Track in Florida.

One week after Lara announces his move to 160, Gutless Gennady Golovkin will announce his move to 168.

Only that Lara is doing the opposite, they are backtrackig from staying at 154 and now moving up?
