Comments Thread For: Lara Has His Eye On Some Big Names at Middleweight

[TAZ-G]

I'd be happy to see him fight Derevyanshenko, the MW version of Lomo/Rigo.

But Lara doesn't need any options, he seems satisfied making $1mill/fight against retired WW's. I'd love the Golovkin fight, but the best I can hope for is K2 to call him out.

We'll see what happens

This dude is a prime example of what haymon fighters are. All talk. Call out big names with no intention of actually fighting them and fight nobodies

Can Haymon put winner of Lee-Saunders vs Lara?

Neither guy will take that fight. BJS will pretty much go into hiding in the UK, should he win. And Lee has said in multiple interviews that he only has a few fights left in him and he wants them to be big fights. Lara is'nt a big fight. I'm guessing Lee will be an opponent for Canelo or GGG sometime next year, depending on how everything sorts out.

That John Zaveck fight doe. Headliner biz homies. Lara is a decent troll. Not spectacular but enough to know there's a fly on your shoulder that needs swatting. Ill give him that.

Why is this running clown not targeting Quillin or Jacobs, who are in his own backyard and easier to make? Doesn't he know his dad Haymon is the reason why many fights didn't happen? At least that's what Quillin and Stevenson were saying...

All this guy does is call out big names but doesn't fight anybody

Paul Williams
Vanes Martirosyan
Alfredo Angulo
Austin Trout
Canelo Alvarez
Ishe Smith

All of these guys were top 10 JWW's when he fought them. I'll even throw Carlos Molina in there. Better resume than Quillin, Lee, Jacobs, and GGG. Robbed against Paul Williams. Judges in the Martirosyan fight were paid for by Arum according to Martirosyan. Possible robbery against Canelo. The pattern is the same over and over. Anytime there's a boxer that GGG fans feel may be a threat to him they have to attack said boxer. If this is an easy fight for GGG his fans should be demanding it. It'll be the best name on his resume and a legit win at 160. Canelo and Cotto, two JWW's has proven the MW division is a joke.

Lara doesn't get a Canelo or GGG fight consistantly fighting bums and underperforming to UD's when he should be waxing bums like Ishe, he had his shot and he blew it with the marathon he ran, and has no one to blame but himself, not to mention a fight with him will draw no interest outside of die hard fans.

He had his shot and fighting him makes no business sense from a money standpoint, he does absolutely nothing to draw casual fan interest.

[JJRod]

he's a headliner um did you notice how there were literally 50 people in the crowd(all comps probably) how can you brag about fighting in an empty stadium against bums. is he going to demand 50-50 against ggg as well ward style? if ggg doesn't agree he's ducking!

Hey but he's gonna be fighting in his home town. Where his Cuban fans will show up. This was always the excuse his fans gave.

[ShoulderRoll]

It's hilarious how the Golovkin nuthuggers will hate on anybody who might be a threat to GGG and who actually wants to get in the ring with him.

They pull out the "he's not a draw" excuse with a quickness. But then if Canelo starts throwing his A-side weight around these guys start crying about how boxing should be about legacy. About the best fighting the best. Not about the business side.
