Seriously why isn't Lara/G monster happening??

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Lmao...

Horrible thread...


Lara is a trick, a mirage.... Much like chemito Moreno, he looks the part, plays the part, but in reality, can't handle the part..

I don't think there has been a more overrated guy in the past five years... Idiots on here claiming he is the next floyd, yet the dude never lives up to the hype in a big fight... Just cuz the dude is black and is a counter puncher with movement doesn't mean he is gonna be as good as floyd..

Berto and broner try to be like floyd and fail miserably

Lara does a bit better but is nowhere near a floyd or even a hopkins..

Lara's three biggest fights vs paul williams, canelo, angulo--- he should have carved those guys up... I never saw floyd get repeatedly dropped by a fighter the caliber of angulo..
Williams, canelo, and angulo have all been whitewashed before and none was vs Lara... You would think if he is some p4p terror and the next floyd, he would have carved up at least 2 out of 3 with canelo, williams and angulo..
Like I said, Lara is another guy like chemito Moreno, that has all the skills and attributes, but just doesn't have the ring IQ to be like a floyd or hopkins... No ring generalship over 12 Rds

Dude can't handle business at 154, let alone ggg at 160

Why isn't Lara fighting the Charlo brothers,Jrock,Or any other 154 lb fighter on his side of the street? He's with Haymon and still can't get a good fight but he's supposed to just come over to HBO and fight GGG just like that ha?

They can't even make their own guys fight each other never mind guys from other promotional companies.

I agree. Lara has been defending his title against mediocre guys not even rated in the top 15 and he calls out the world's best middleweight. He could call out Lee or Jacobs or Quillen at 160 or or the other good 154 pound champions and top contenders but he only wants the prestige and money that comes with fighting GGG. A win over GGG would give Lara's career a big lift but a win over Lara really doesn't do anything for GGG's career.

1. Golovkin is waiting for Cotto-Canelo, if that doesn't happen then he'll wait for lee/bjs. Both will be known by end of year. Waiting doesn't interrupt his fight schedule. Don't expect him to consider any other opponent until then.
2. Lara is talking behind Haymon smokescreen. It doesn't mean he wants to fight anyone, installing running his mouth like a fool. He challenged Ward for God's sake. Klitchko will be next.
3. Haymon and HBO rarely work together. This fight has a low chance of actually happening due to promotional issues.

As far as the GGG vs Dirrell fight goes Dirrell spent most of the fight running and holding just like he does in his pro fights. GGG won easily and anybody with eyes and a brain knows that. He damn near chased Dirrell out of the ring. GGG has been a champion for many years but Andre Dirrell has never been good enough to be a champion.

what has he done? He's had maybe 3 "big" fights: Canelo, Angulo and Trout. All 3 were close, against Angulo he got battered but ANgulo was faded and slow and didn't want to keep fighting. He didn't have enough dog in him to beat Canelo, especially the second half of the fight and he beat Trout. Some may mention the Williams fight but tha twas years ago and he lost.

He has never done enough. He has always been too close to his opponents, win or lose. Lara is spoken about as some skilled, slick fighter but when you get caught repeatedly by the slowest version of Angulo ever, you know you ain't that slick.

No one ever seems to "do enough". Then we end up like wtf, when a bonifide bum gets the shot. (Not necessarily talking about G monster here). An example would be Berto getting the shot at Floyd. He definitely didn't do enough. What I'm saying is fighters rarely ever (do enough). Lara has.

And Lara did not lose to the Punisher. And he did better in the 2nd half of the Canelo fight. And at least half the observers had him winning. And he dominated Trout more than Canelo did.

All I know that Lara would be the best scalp on G monster's resume. It really isn't debatable.

1st off, I didn't say Lara would win. I simply asked why it isn't happening.

2nd, he's Cuban

3rd, he dominated the Punisher, stopped Angulo and fought Canelo fairly evenly without a 152 needed.

Everything you spouted is wack. Kick rocks bro.

GGG has already faced multiple former title holders in the division and legitimate contenders. Lara is a legitimate contender a division below but until he actually gets a win, rather than the "oh i twas a close fight, robbery though, lara won", no I don't buy that rubbish. Canelo has done more to get a GGG fight and Geale, Macklin, Murray all did more at MW to get the fight.

If Lara moves to MW and actually fights a top 10 there then sure, he deserves the fight. Why not? Till then it's BS. Lara is the single most overrated fighter on this forum, he'd get stopped inside 5.

[Bushbaby]

What's up with this, "he needs to earn the fight and beat a top ranked middleweight" bull**** some are spouting?? We can roll out a long a$$ list of fighters who were ppv dance partners for 2 fighters in particular and them muther****ers had no business being there. So stop with all that.

Not saying Lara would win, but he hasn't been stopped, he's willing to dance at 160, he doesn't need protecting and everyone is talking shots at G monster's resume. Lara's scalp by ko is an excellent win to add to any resume.

[otrocubiche]

No doubt, lara would be the best name in ggg resume and ggg would be a huge favorite to ko him, but most of ggg fans don't want this fight because there's a slight chance that lara would outbox ggg , just man up and say it.

Did you really just post that? The major difference between Canelo and Lara is Canelo doesn't want the fight, Lara does. Therefore that point is useless. You cant fight someone if they won't fight you. More of this "done to deserve", nonsense then trying to validate it with busted points.
