    Lara: "Obviously the big fights, that’s the reason I’m in the sport. But if we can’t get the Canelos and we can’t get the Golovkins, there’s the winner of Danny Jacobs and Quillin, and there’s Andy Lee. All those guys are targets I want to get at 160 if I get the opportunity."

    By Lyle Fitzsimmons - If nothing else, Erislandy Lara has adjusted well to being jilted. Though he considered himself a clear winner when matched with Canelo Alvarez, he hasn’t spent the 16 months since the disappointment result plying his sadness with ice cream and binge TV. He’s OK. And he can talk about it these days without tears. “My mind is that I won the fight,” Lara said. “In this game I’ve been though it before, like in the Paul Williams fight. Another fight where I won the fight but didn’t get the decision. Look, I’ve moved on. I’m a headliner. I headlined my own show in Chicago, which was a good show, and now I’m down here in Miami on ESPN. One of the biggest sports events, the day before Thanksgiving. I’m excited.” Indeed, Lara will tend to his own business on Wednesday night about 10 miles from downtown Miami, where he’ll risk the IBO share of the 154-pound kingdom against No. 17 contender Jan Zaveck at the Hialeah Park Racing & Casino complex.



    Jacobs is ducking Lara doe.

          Tell me one thing Jacobs has to gain from this fight?

          Jacobs doesn't have a hard time getting fights. GGG is the one supposedly having a hard time finding fights, why doesn't he fight Lara, who's actually been calling him out?

            Lara could probably get an ugly decision.

            Now Jacobs vs Canelo, that's a fight!

                Point I was making is you can't just drop these top names if you'll just sit on your ass and do nothing. Especially when there's this established PBC behind you. Meaning, there's no reason why you can't utilize its resources and make the fights you want happen.

                I'll bet that they haven't even talked to Haymon about these fights. Why? They just talk and tweet.

                And let's keep it straight. Only Cotto, Canelo, Pac and a few others can legitimately and logically make offers. The rest can give each other offers without any issues. Meaning, you don't have to wait. You can make yours anytime you want to others not named Cotto, Canelo, etc.

                  Lara's skills are a mirage, he isn't floyd, hopkins, Rigo, but more like Moreno, Russell jr, etc.. Dude couldn't carve up angulo, Williams, vanes.. Lmao
                  I'm a Williams fan and he barely won 3 rounds. The decision was so bad that the judges were suspended.

                    Regardless,,, Lara didn't look like an elite p4p guy like a Hopkins or Floyd

                      No he didn't. But you said "razor thin" and that decision stunk awful. His performance was overblown because it was an upset, nobody expected Paul to get outboxed like that.
