Canelo did not have to fight Lara either, but he did

Originally posted by techliam View PostI don't think he is, though. How do you even gauge a win over Murray at 160, vs a win over Lara at 160. Lara hasn't even fought at 160 before as far as I know. Beating Lara at 160 is not the same as beating him at 154. Again, this is blurring the disinction between name and quality. Lara has a name for being a quality fighter at 154, but you can't use his name to also say he's quality at 160 too. It doesn't work like that.
You could make the case if there was some solid reference as to the middleweight being much poorer in quality. We only use personal perspectives on here to judge that, mostly clouded by bias. The only tiny speck of evidence we have is Cotto vs drained Geale, but its not reliable because it was at 157. Theres definitely more recognisable names at 154, but it doesn't mean they are any better
If Lara is really willing, Golovkin's people should be trying to make that fight instead of the Monroes and whoever the **** he just fought type fighters. They should at least make the effort when all these other fighter don't want to fight him.

Seriously, let's stop this nonsense about "Lara's never fought at middleweight," as if that means he would suddenly be a bum if he moved up 6 pounds. He is much better than the large majority of the division and would be a more prestigious win for Golovkin than almost everyone in the division.

Lara might have a hard time getting GGG soon as it stands. GGG's priorities are probably #1 Canelo (biggest fight he can make) then Jacobs (mando) then Saunders (chance for undisputed) at the moment.
For the record, I'm not against a Lara fight. I don't think he would win but he's a great athlete and a great boxer so he's a worthwhille opponent.Last edited by BrometheusBob.; 05-22-2016, 01:19 PM.

I hope/think Saunders is in September - he commented he has a big fight for September, which corresponds to GGG aiming to fight 3 times this year (ie, September/December). Saunders has also been calling out Canelo as a coward a lot recently, so he may be billing it as his "I'll fight the monster at 160 even Canelo was scared of" fight, rather than just a cash out.
