The GGG defense force still terrified of Lara...

So whats your opinion on why lara cant fight any other middleweights?

[djt117]

You guys are getting Desperate! What's wrong in him fighting GGG? Instead of GGG fighting all these lesser names why not Lara?

(A) The win for GGG would be tremendously devalued for having pulled a guy up one division

(B) He only calls out GGG after Golovkin has signed to fight someone else or clearly and openly into a negotiation to fight someone else (example: right now)

(C) Golovkin's team is negotiating with Canelo now and if that fails, Mendoza already said he's ordering GGG-Danny Jacobs WBA mandatory, so Lara can't be next.

(D) If Canelo-GGG happens and GGG wins, the fight Jacobs will be ordered by the WBA. So Lara can't be the fight after next.

(E) Therefore Lara has to wait for minimum 1 or possibly 2 fights. AND BOTH OF THOSE FIGHTS ARE BETTER ANYWAYS.

(F) While GGG is busy with Canelo and/or Jacobs, Lara could fight at 160 and create a pressing public mandate for the fight (like he did vs. Canelo) by beating top guys—but he'd rather fight ... Martirosyan? LOL

(G) The only time Lara is even mentioned on boxing forums or social media is when GGG's haters use Lara as a stick to beat GGG with. It's sad that all these supposed fans of his can't support his career independently on its own merits.

Lara feels things should be given to him and he doesn't believe in having to earn anything. That kind of mindset is poisonous.

probably nothing they mentioned in press conference he was going to fight someone at middleweight. Also i think its jarmel charlo the one who fought trout said he was moving to middleweight as well. Give charlo a few fights at 160 and hes gonna be one of the top dogs. I personally am way more excited at prospect of him becoming a true middleweight then lara.

i dont get the hate lara gets tho for wanting to fight ggg hes obviously serious and really does want the fight. regardless what u think about lara and how many people watch his fights etc hes still one best boxers in the world and why people bash him for wanting to fight ggg is beyond me. its like people bash everyone that wont face ggg but u get a guy at 154 probably the top guy calling out ggg and he gets mocked. i just dont get it

You only fight GGG if you have to. No one should dare step anywhere close to his division.

Jermall Charlo even ducked 160 and would rather kill himself to make 154 than step foot in that division. Shawn Porter and Keith Thurman weigh over 160 on fight night but drain themselves to 147 to stay as far away from that monster as possible.

Nobody wants to fight GGG. And I don't blame them. He steamrolls them all. Only mandatories stand a chance.

Lol. I get what you're saying, but I got a question since I know you're a Lara fan. Do people want him to get killed? From Lara's perspective, jumping straight to GGG is just silly imo. Yes its a payday and yes if by some small miracle he beat GGG, he obviously becomes a household name, but as a fan of his. Would'nt you rather he dipped his toe at middleweight before going straight to GGG? I mean Andre Ward is taking his time to get himself ready to fight Kovalev, and its smart.

Hyperbole aside GGG is'nt some random weak link champ a guy is moving up to snatch a belt from.

He doesn't get bashed for wanting the fight. He gets bashed for not doing a single thing to show that hes a worthy middleweight opponent. Spare me the Rosado comments. Nobody gives a schit about that fight. Now, make a list of everything lara and his team have done to secure a fight with the best middleweight in the world. I'll even help you get started.
-say he wants to fight GGG
-go on twitter to say he wants to fight GGG

I think you should be able to come up with at least 3 more things team lara has done to secure a fight since he wants it so bad.

Now make a list of every GGG fight people gave a schit about

Again!!! Hagler fought Mugabi who came straight at him from 154 and fought him at 160, I would rather have that than GGG fighting another no hoper at 160, not sure why some of you guys are so desperate to see GGG face another dud fight, Canelo/BJS/Jacobs or even Sturm fine! But please no more wade, Monroe or another Macklin, Rubio , Murray etc. If not please GGG move up to 168 Ward isn't there no more. Am tired of excuses and deflection from boxing fans.

Hagler didn't have other options though... He already cleaned out what was a totally dead MW division. GGG has many more options available to him other than Lara. Options that generate similar interest and money. If Lara wants a fight with GGG he can work his way into a mandatory position. Which shouldn't be too difficult because apparently MW is filled with bums so that shouldn't be too big of a task.

Lil' G can move up only for money fights but Lara can't?

Life's not fair. People more deserving or less deserving of you get opportunities you don't. Sitting back and acting like you're entitled to a big fight because someone lesser than you got it is a regressive mindset. At this point it should be pretty obvious what it takes to get a title shot. Put yourself into a mandatory position and put pressure on the champion to fight you or vacate. That shouldn't be too difficult right? Considering MW is filled with bums.

Put some work in, stop asking for handouts.

Im guessing be an unknown fighter that even the hardcores and the fighter himself dont know?


And yes the one thing Lara has never done is "put in work"
