Lara still fights? 2009's hipster boxer of the year.

Mismatch on paper. Worse in the ring. #PBConESPN

Rafael just tweeted that out and he works for ESPN and he's trashing this fight. lol

Yup. I had the same opinion of that fight. Didn't even bother watching

Yes I agree he should go after better opposition but you cant win a fight landing a few punches a rd. It wouldnt be fair to the sport of boxing to award Lara the win over Canelo. If he gets the fight again he better man up.

Rafael hates Floyd Mayweather, Al Haymon and anyone associated with those two people. He loves GGG, Bob Arum and Oscar de la Hoya and anyone associated with those guys. Therefore, GGG vs Willie Nelson was a great display of GGG's talent while this was a mismatch, according to Fat Dan.

Problem with Rafael is he landed a golden egg. Think of being the only guy to report for boxing on ESPN. The guy has the influence to ruin fighters like Lara and Rigo Bad in most ways but if new fans were to tune in to Lara and Rigo type fights how many new fans would boxing get?

My thoughts exactly. Sure Rafael could ease up on the Laras and Rigos but those men do not help boxing.

well we know ggg wont fight him so hopefully andrade

GGG destroys Lara if not exhausted by the marathon he'd have to run.

Why would GGG wanna fight him? He has no fan base, attracts no attention from casual fans, and no one cares to see him fight.

Not that GGG is scared to fight him, but money wise it makes ABSOLUTELY no sense!!!!!!!!!!!! He can keep fighting bums on a Wednesday night under card.

Lara and Charlo are now fighting almost retired fighters. It's clear they're not fighting each other. No one in the media has any interest in asking them why.
