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

[Jubei]

Usually Oscar is talking like a crazed drunk. But honestly he's right about this one.

Canelo was crazy to have a guy like Lara this early in his career. Whether you thought one guy won or the other (personally I thought it was a draw). Canelo had the sack to face Lara.

Lara is one of the most avoided boxers in the world and Lara is just a prime example of Canelo fighting the best and challenging himself.

GGG should have took on the likes of Lara or a great like Ward. But hopefully gets Canelo by next May. I highly doubt it's next.

Are you seriously claiming that Canelo would step into a ring with GGG @160 if GGG fought and defeated Ward @168?

Lara isn't even a middleweight and never wanted to fight GGG. Wtf are you even talking about with the Lara stuff. Are you actually talking about tweets from DeCubas?

Lara, or his trainer was never interested in making the fight, no one EVER contacted K2/Loeffler.

What the **** does this have to do with canelo fighting ggg? Oscar talks about bringing big fights together and he's doing more of the status quo.

Lara is one of the best but the only reason he got the fight was because he's a mover. They know Canelo would get seriously hurt,embarrassed,and the hype derailed if they fought Ggg

You can't duck someone not in your division

Plys, k2 has said Lara never called them once. Lara publicaly said he wants 3-6 million to fight GGG.

GGG himself just got his first 2 million dollar payday. No, they're not calling Lara begging to fight.

Lara wants GGG, do more than talk about it, and for god sakes, take a realistic purse. No one is paying you $3-6 million when you have ten fans.

True true true. All you heard from team gg were excuses It's crazy how after one ppv gg got exposed as the laughingstock of boxing. Abel needs to remember gg is entitled to shtt

They said only that it didn't make financial sense, True when Lara wants way more than he is worth.

And GGG is the laughing stock. Funny, because I keep seeing articles calling him the best, and wondering if he is the man now.

And recently Jordan came calling.

If signing to Apple & Jordan, and plunking the shiiiit out of Canelo, right out of his titles makes you the laughing stock, then so be it. But then it's GGG whose getting the last laugh.

1. Even if he did. It was razor thin.
2. Wouldn't change Golovkin ducking him, I know I know Rosado Murray Stevens Monroe Jr and Wade are massive draws, mandatorys blah blah, Lara and Ward are low budget bums.

Doesn't it ever get tiresome? The rhetoric.

Let me guess you're gonna hit me with the "Canelo ducking comeback."

Once again, tiresome. Broken record.

First, Canelo will duck GGG. Second, You can't duck a guy who does fight in your division. Canelo is a MW with three MW titles.

GGG never said he wouldn't fight Lara, k2 said it doesn't make financial sense. It doesn't when Lara wants three to six times what he's worth.

The guy can't sell his own fights, wtf does he think k2 is gonna come begging him to overpay him.

It's not like the haters old suddenly be like, oh, he beat a good fighter. They'd make excuses. By overpaying Lara, GGG would chase him around for 8 tprounds before making him quit. Haters will say Lara is too small.

If Lara comes up to 160 and is willing to take a purse that wouldn't cause K2 to have to leave SR money to make, then I'd question why they didn't take the fight.

But if Lara is gonna say GGG name on Twitter (usually after he signs for a fight or is told to take a mandatory, like lara recently did), then it's a safe bet Lara isn't serious.

How about calling K2 and negotiating a legit purse? Why would he try that.

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

[i'm a fun haver]

Lara is rematching Vanes at 154 lol
Tell me again how he really really wants to fight GGG

How is Lara known as one of the best thats all I want to know. What happen in Lara career did I miss that he became this awesome boxer? His best win is Trout who I don't even think is a great boxer.

I do agree with GGG making Alvarez look like an amateur boxer if they ever fought.

No, Lots of fans say that Canelo lost to lara. The fact that a judge had it 117-111 proves the type of bias towards him and how oscar protects him. Even if you had canelo winning, no way was it by that score.

[Teetotaler]

Too bad the twitter negotiations with lara's fat manager couldnt get the fight done

That video is funny as shiiiit.

Of course Lara doesn't want GGG. Randomly name dropping isn't the way you get fights, especially when ou price yourself so high that the fight would have to lose money.
