Originally posted by hitking View PostEverybody dismissing Lara as a GGG opponent simply because he would be an underdog simply don't get it. Pretty much everybody not name Andre Ward or Sergey Kovalev south of the cruiserweight division will be an underdog against GGG. Its about GGG stepping outta the bubble he's placed himself in and fighting the best competition available to him. Regardless of how you feel about Lara. He's a guy that nobody has beaten convincingly. He's a guy that has an aura and a reputation as a guy nobody wants to fight. And he's a guy that its borderline impossible to look good against. And if GGG doesn't get his money fight against Canelo (who I felt Lara beat) next, who out there is better than Lara that's willing to fight GGG? Jacobs isn't gonna fight him next. Neither is Saunders. And honestly, a win over Lara is more impressive than beating both thoae guys. We get it, nobody wants to fight GGG. But that doesn't give him an excuse to fight **** like he did in his last fight. Especially when he has a much better fighter that wants to fight him.

There's a clear double standard.
I had a big response typed out to hero but it says I'm blocked.

And any other non-Canelo opponent out there. That doesn't make him a star. That makes him and GGG a fight fight fans would wanna see. Unlike Lemieux, Jacobs, Saunders, or any of that other bull**** he's trying to sell.

Originally posted by HeroBando View PostHe did worse than a shot Angulo, and underperformed and put off most viewers. So him vs Ggg is no ppv, he should go the mando route. Solid mando defense for ggg

**** off with demanding GGG fight Lara already.
I want Jacobs, Saunders, Eubank Jr., or Canela.
I might even accept Peter Quillin or Andy Lee as backup.
I'd like to see Ryota Murata if he continues to do well (not for another year or two, to give him some more professional experience). Ievgen Khytrov is another possibility (again, a year or two).
I was interested in Magomedov, but not anymore after this recent loss. He needs to show something again in his future fights.
