Why is Lara so overrated on here?

[deanrw]

Lara looks good against a certain type of opposition, guys with slow feet.

GGG would body this guy to be honest. It would not even be competitive. A guy who beats GGG will be a guy as strong as he is and stick to his chest like Ward can. Anyone who lingers on the outside gets smashed.

He actually has better wins than some fighters that are rated higher than him.

I know exactly why you say this.. because Floyd never fought him and people trash Floyd for it. Lara would've kicked Floyd's ass. More power, more reach, more height, more weight. Just a real 154 pounder. Floyd was a paper champ at 154.

He's probably one of the best at 154. The problem is that they are overrating him because some pretend he would beat GGG at 160 which makes no sense at all.

Maxi just upset that Matthysse turned to Golf and that Maradona will never live up to Pele. It's ok man. I heard Argentinian women truly like black bananas. They just don't tell their men, especially when they sneak out at night to get a proper shag while their dudes watch soccer

I agree,you have to smother GGG and stay in his chest...same with Kovalev which is why i give Ward a great chance with Kovalev

Willie only moments were spots he went forward to GGG, same with Curtis Stevens. Going backwards is not a good idea with GGG.

Lara also has a bad habit of just shelling up and standing there taking body shots, look what happened in the later rounds with Canelo and Aguelo Knocking him down, who GGG whould have KO'd in 1 or 2 rounds. Imagine thats GGG digging in Laras body when he shells up.

I wouldn't say overrated. He's the #1 fighter at 154 unanimously and the goal is to see the best fight the best, right? So is wanting to see Lara vs. Andrade, Cotto, Canelo II, Golovkin, Charlo, etc. overrating him or just wanting to see the best fight the best?

Seriously the guy has not done anything worth the hype..who is his best win?? Trout?..Yes you can say he was robbed against Paul Williams ok cool...but on the biggest stage against Canelo he layed a huge stinking turd...The guy is limited and far from what i would call slick,slick fighters dont get dropped 2 times by a shot slow ass Angulo.

Lara has never impressed me and i dont get why people want to see him get his **** pushed in by GGG. Its a pointless fight against someone who doesnt even fight at 160. So why all the hype over this guy?

Lara has been put in the ring with fighters that folks believe a legit, and he's never been blown out in a fight, hanging tough regardless of the actual outcome.

Vanes, Alvarez, Trout, Paul Williams, and Carlos Molina, as the top of his resume, is a pretty strong run.
