IBF gives Golovkin a mandatory and now Lara speaks!

[Chrismart]

The simple fact no one can deny is this:

Johnson got an injury. For about a week, it was unclear whether the IBF was going to go down to the next name on the list or just postpone the mandatory (thereby allowing Golovkin to just make a voluntary defense--some people were speculating it could be Korobov but obviously nothing was set in stone)

After a week or so, IBF says, "OK, we're ordering Golovkin-Wade"

THEN and only THEN did Lara speak up. Where was he for that week when Golovkin's next opponent seemingly could be anyone, and the Korobov rumors were floating around? Why didn't Lara say, "Yo GGG, **** fighting some guy coming off a KO loss, PICK ME INSTEAD!"
^ That **** never happened. Lara was only interested in calling out Golovkin once is a was CERTAIN that the fight was NOT feasible.

This THREAD IS 1000% on the mark and to even ATTEMPT to argue with it is to be COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY FULL OF ****.

Yep, i agree :ANYWORD:

I do believe it is time to call Lara's team out on their bluff right now.

Why would Lara be bluffing? He'd stand to gain the most from the match-up. However, the only time that a match-up between HBO and Haymon fighters becomes realistic is through a mandatory/purse-bid situation.

Anyway you all know Lara would get his first KO loss badly. His marketing team is just playing with GGG name to gain publicity.

What a ****ing joke. IBF just announced Golovkin has to fight Wade and suddenly Lara calls him out!

@GGGBoxing I'm ready willing and able to fight! Your Team knows who to call ��☝️��

I doubt this is the 1st time that Lara has called out lil'g

[OnePunch]

So you are OK with Wade just like I said

im not "ok" with it, and actually I think its a **** fight, but it is what it is. Theres a mando due, Saunders ran and hid, and Johnson withdrew, so......

[bigjavi973]

the excuses as to why lil'g shouldn't fight Lara are ******

[The Big Dunn]

First, posters were mad that Lara didn't call GGG out. Then when he did, posters are mad about the timing. Yes, it seems to have come after the IBF made its call but GGG doesn't have a deal signed to fight anyone as of yet. It would seem the easiest thing to do is call Lara's "bluff" and try and make a fight.

The IBF mandatory requirement was always an issue. So it would come down to what is more important to GGG-a fight with Wade or a fight with Lara, a better opponent, but one that may force him to give up his belt.

I doubt this is the 1st time that Lara has called out lil'g
