It Haymon/Lara turn it down, then we know who's to blame.
Right now, it's Team Golovkin.

Lara and GGG resume are about what and what. But Lara post Canelo comp has been terrible. I mean Ishe fuqing Smith is the best person he has fought since Canelo and he sucks
But I'm cool with a Lara fight but we all know it'll have to come after the Johnson, Lee, and Canelo fights.

Originally posted by Eastcoast View PostGolovkin's overmatched opponents are rated in the top 10-15 of his division and generally on a win streak or atleast not coming off multiple losses (Paul Smith). They're not old washed up fighters from a lower division (Rodriguez/Zaveck for Lara, Konecny for Quillin) and they're not young inexperienced fighters (Zerafa for Quillin or Dunn/Murdock for Ward).
Golovkin actually rejected Jarrod Fletcher for a fight in favor of Geale, when Fletcher was made his mando. Jacobs jumped at the chance for Fletcher. Golovkin rejected Fernando Guerrero over Gabe Rosado, b/c they were afraid Guerrero was too easy. Quillin jumped at Guerrero for an opponent but then struggled with Rosado. Quillin learned his lesson about taking Golovkin's leftovers when he rejected Macklin in favor of Konecny.
Lara could've fought similar level of opposition to Golovkin, then instead of Zaveck or Rodriguez he would've fought Maciel, Clottey, Nelson, or Rabchenko. And yet he turned down Clottey for Zaveck.
Excellent analysis.

I'd love to see how GGG would handle the Cuban style of boxing. He would absolutely get credit from me if he took that fight.
I don't understand why so many of his fans are against it, though. Yet they're looking forward to Tureano Johnson.

That was a freak one off example where haymon let one fighter he didn't care much about and hbo made him sign a contract for 2 fights. Haymon don't like doing contracts and won't let any of his top fighters fight on hbo.Last edited by bigdunny1; 11-27-2015, 11:27 AM.

Putting that idiocy aside, dont you find it the least bit curious that Lara spends all his time calling out GGG, a fight that probably has a low probability of happening, but never utters a peep about Quillin or Jacobs, who fight under the same umbrella, and should be MUCH more realistic fights to make??
Im dying with anticipation......lol
