Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Golovkin Didn't Want Lara - And Canelo Beat Him!

[HeroBando]

Lara, the one who beat Paul Williams but was robbed, this Lara?

Yup, same guy that got a gift decision vs comebacking Molina, got dropped hard 2x vs shot Angulo, and choked in his one big time opportunity

This is the link someone just posted: http://www.boxingscene.com/erislandy...bo-belt--93782

July 2015 that is dated. So he moved on.

You just said he stated that he will remain in 154 after the Delvin fight. June 2015 was when that fight took place.

This is after the Jan Zaveck, November 2015. Still wanting to go up to MW he says and still wants the GGG fight.

See what I mean?

I may have gotten the fights mixed up, but I know he said it in a post fight interview. I saw it. All I know is that GGG's team were never contacted regarding a Lara fight. This is confirmed by Lara's team and GGG's.

But here's the thing though, I've never heard anyone say that they formerly contacted Floyd to get a fight with him to let the fans know they are serious.

It's usually, "I want to fight Floyd! He's scared of me, he's ducking me! I'm ready to go!" And fans would instantly jump on that as them challenging Floyd and no one would care if they contacted Floyd and it was done formerly.

So why now all of a sudden?

I guarantee you fights do not get made on twitter. Call outs happen there but if they are to be taken seriously, they should then contact the opponents management. As for who contacted Floyd for fights, I would say some probably. Floyd is every fighters lottery ticket.

Dude, are you kidding me?

Decubas said formerly we haven't reached out to them but they immediately shut it down with their reasons for not wanting the fight.

How many people have said they wanted to fight Floyd over the years? Are we to assume that they ALL asked formerly before getting shut down?

Or does it go something like this? "Floyd is ducking me! I said I'm ready to go and ready to fight him! He's ducking me!"

Come on now.....

Formally you imbecile. Formally.

I'm not suggesting that they get made on twitter.

But the notion that "formal contact" is what is needed for fans to take a fighters call out as serious is ridiculous to me.

Are you guys seriously telling me, that you've never taken a fighters call out serious unless you've been informed that they did so formerly as well?

Really?

I agree. lil g wanted absolutely nothing at all to do with Lara. Listen to how him and his team act when Lara and Wards name gets brought up. "They don't have fans." "They're boring" And in the same breath have the nerve to brag about lil g selling out stadiums against the Wades and Monroes of the world. So here is a question for the dumb ass lil g fans. If lil g is selling out arenas and has all of these supporters, why in the fuuck does it matter if Ward or Lara are draws are not? I mean lil g proved he can sell out LA arenas right against nobodies? What would he do against a Lara or Ward?

I feel like putting my foot on lil g fans neck a little more. They say they're okay for lil g to fight Floyd at 154, But not Canelo at 155? And not Ward at 168 because Ward is too big? So you guys are okay with lil g dropping weight for lil ass Floyd? But not putting on a few pounds for Ward?

At the end of the day this is what it is. lil g fans KNOW FOR A FACT WARD WOULD BEAT HIS ASS!! Instead of admitting lil g would get his ass whipped up and down the ring they bring up ratings, and other bull shyt. When Ward AND Lara both are more known and bigger draws than ANYBODY on lil g's resume FACTS.

To all the lil g fan girls. Who the fuuck on lil g's resume is better than Lara or Ward? Exactly so you should want that chump to step his fuucking game up and stop being a pussie and fight people who want to fight him. He wants to fight the best right? Don't say in his weight class because he is willing to drop to 154 for Floyd and 168 for Hopkins, Froch, and Chavez jr so cut that bull shyt out.

If he want s to fight the best why not Lara at 160? And Ward at 168? When lil g grows some nuts and takes either of these fights he gets his ass beat. Especially if he fights Ward at 168

Ward said he wud go to one sixty for floyd...why not meet. Ggg ib the middle at one sixty four. You are a dindu who dindu nuffinz.

[BluDivision]

The fact is GGG doesn't have one person on his resume of Lara's caliber. Not one guy. I would love to see how great of a fighter GGG is but he can't sit around and wait for Canelo. Either take the damn catch weight or find a quality name (bigger or smaller) and do your stuff. Smh

According to NSB...GGG ducked Lara....Guess that fight with Angulo had his team spooked
