[just the facts]

STAY OFF THE DRUGS!!! GGG CEMENTED HIS DOMINATION!!! LARA IS JUST A STEPPING STONE! who runs to top it off

Cemented his domination? With that resume? GTFOH!

2 weeks ago Lara's trainer said, they have no plans to move up:

Whats up with his team?

Do they even communicate? Are they on the same page? They dont even seem to know what to do.

Whats up with Haymon? Will he allow Lara to fight on HBO?

Is this all to get Laras name out there, to get people to watch the Zaveck fight?

That sounds like the only real truth.

Do you feel that this is similar to Team GGG saying they would fight anyone from 14 to 168 and then backtracking to only Floyd at 154, and only Chavez Jr and Froch at 168, and Ward only at 164? Only that Lara is doing the opposite, they are backtrackig from staying at 154 and now moving up?

[just the facts]

The Ward who ducked GGG twice?

The Ward who is just crying and complaining about the fans and everyone in boxing and couldnt make 168 in 2 years?

The Ward said that "No thanks" when HBO asked if he wants to fight GGG?

The Ward who didnt even try to negotiate when K2 talked about meeting Ward at 50/50?

Your arguments have more holes than swiss cheese.

While all of this garbage fits your agenda, not one bit of it's true

So lee got stopped by two guys who were significantly bigger than him? So what? Lara got a gift draw after he got schooled by Molina and lost to canelo. GGG would beat the **** outta him.

Oh so wait, now we're talking about fight night weight. Okay. Lara was 164lbs, Angulo was 174lbs. Can Lara fit into your agenda as well?

Schooled by Molina? The entire ESPN team had it a DRAW, and the judges scored it a draw. Wtf are you talking about schooled?

Can you please give me a link or screenshot that shows Vera and Lee's fight night weights for their 2008 fight? I can't seem to find that information, but you seem to be be very confident that Vera was significantly bigger than Lee. I remember Chavez Jr vs Lee, so you don't have to prove that. But you are going to have ot prove that Vera was significantly bigger than Lee.

Angulo is a C class fighter. If these fight gets made I assure you Lara gets stopped within 10 rounds. If you apply pressure,and cut the ring on (2 things that GGG excels at) Lara will fold. Add to that GGG's great jab and body work, I bet anything Lara doesn't see the final belt...its a mismatch.

Then GGG has been fighting "Z" fighters. ok their better than that? Maybe "F" as in nobody Fkn knew who they were.

I think Murray and Stevens are above Angulo. They are C+ fighters, while Angulo is just a C fighter. Just because nobody knows who they are doesn't mean they suck.

Wow, you just admitted two of the three best ggg wins are C+ level fighters!

[Vasyl’s dad]

you're probably right. but fact remains lara will be the best name on little g's resume. in my personal opinion lara beat canelo and he would also outbox cotto. therefore lara > cotto, canelo. golovkin might knock his head off, but it will finally put a good name on his belt. that's all his "haters" want.

fact? Thats one of the dumbest opinions on this board. Laras name is no bigger or better than anyone golovkin has fought. Dont try to make the guy out to be something hes not. Hes unknown in boxing to the viewers that matter.

Wow, you just admitted two of the three best ggg wins are C+ level fighters!

So what? There are no A level rivals at middleweight and the B guys(Quillen,Cotto,Canelo) are fleeing and dumping belts just hearing GGG's name.

That said a C level fighter almost killed your precious Lara at 154. GGG at 160 pulverizes him.

Ouma was a good fighter but definitely not top level, if he can do it, so can others. If he was closer to his prime and clinched every now and then, he would've gone the distance on that particular night.

I didn't say it would be easy to do it, but it's the best way to beat him imo.

You 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."
