Comments Thread For: Lara: I've Studied Golovkin, I Know His Flaws

[Shadoww702]

I'd actually be fine with golovkin going down to 158,maybe even 157 if he gets paid enough. As for 154,the problem with that is that canelo isn't a 154 fighter,and hasn't been one since the mayweather fight 2 years ago. If canelo was a small fighter,and only rehydrated to the low 160s id understand him asking for 155. But the facts remain that canelo is the wbc/ring/lineal Middleweight champ,golovkin is his mandatory,and canleo actually rehydrates higher than golovkin. If they can figure out some sort of catchweigh agreement,good for them,but logic dictates that the fight should be at the full 160 weight limit.

And that's a GGGTard. Say WTF you mean and back it up. When Canelo FK'd up and said 152. He at least honored it. GGG fights stay busy fight his entire career.

It's really impossible to argue this topic with anyone who has deluded themselves into thinking Murray is better than Lara, which seems to be 95% of GGG's fanbase. I mean, holy shit.

murray should have wins over felix sturm and lineal MW champ sergio martinez but he got robbed that's better than anything lara's ever done.

Lara is clearly a better fighter than both Murray and Lemiuex.



It's laughable.

And when you've got the likes of Abel Sanchez saying Willie Munroe is bigger and better fight, you can see where they get their delusion from.

If Lara is clearly better, why not just fight them to prove he is worth making a ggg fight?

Have they said "We are not fighting on HBO"?

It's easy to use that cop-out to excuse why Team Golovkin don't want the fight.



Would you rather fight for more or less money?

A quarter million dollars extra, which is what beterbiev would probably make in the purse bid, doesn't trump the glory of actually beating kovalev. It's not always about money. Maybe it is for people that don't have any, but a lot of people take pride in doing solid deals for good money, rather than trying to scam a situation. On top of that he wouldn't even get that extra amount because the fight won't even happen for the reasons pointed out earlier.

[OnePunch]

I don't get this logic.

Don't make an offer because it might get turned down.

Don't fight Lara because the fans might discredit the win.

Fight Teurano Johnson instead!

Hmmm, lets see.......

Dont fight Tureano Johnson = get stripped of IBF title you just won

Dont fight Lara = 8 haters on BScene will call you a ducker


Yeah, big mystery which way he'll likely go......lol

[Teetotaler]

Fk I would be happy to see him beat the last guy who gave him a loss even. He SUKS against technical southies. Hence he won't ever fight Lara. You can take that to the BANK!

what the hell did you just say?

GGG is mandatory challanger for Canelo for 160 lb title, why should he go down to 155 ? Ward does not have a fan base, plus how many fights in the last few years ? Lara is a good fighter who on any given night can give any fighter a tough fight (he runs).

[Shadoww702]

Based on how healthy and big he looked at the weigh in for Cotto (155), making 154 won't be an issue when needed. As he hadn't fought for a belt since Mayweather, it hasn't been needed.

Canelo hasn't fought at MW (no, catchweights are not the same seeing as neither guy can weigh more than 155) and has expressed no desire in doing so. If he was willing to meet Golovkin in the middle then I really disagree with refusing to come down 2lbs when you have previously stated you'd fight at 154 for a big fight.

Big, meaningful fights trump irrelevant opponents at MW.

^^^^^

Nahh! GGGTards will tell you Monroe Jr. better than Lara. GGG the "A" sider. Who has Ward fought? Ward needs to come out of retirement.

GGG = Ronda Golovkin

Lara is clearly a better fighter than both Murray and Lemiuex.

Even on a P4P basis, that's debatable. Murray had contraversially close decision losses to 3 of the top men in his division, Lara has 2.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Whats so great about beating Trout? He lost to Canelo. So why is Lara better than those guys again? Can Lara beat any midleweight?

Trout is far better than anyone GGG has faced.

Canelo is far better than anyone GGG has faced.

Lara would beat anyone GGG has faced.

He's calling for the fight, would be his best opponent and GGG can't get fights with anyone better. So, why not? Unless a Munroe rematch makes more business sense, of course.
