Whats stopping lara from fighting a top 10 contender at 160?

GGG not at Top 10 Middleweight?

[AneesMoha]

I could only imagine what boxing would be with this mentality if it ran rampant with every champion. Imagine a guy like ggg begging for a guy like Sturm, Cotto, Martinez and Canelo only to say he didn't bring anything to the table. How horrible would that make his fans feel? One could only imagine..

You want to know something interesting about your comment about Golovkin "Begging" those guys for a fight?
Golovkin was the mandatory but challenger to each of those guys titles when he "begged" for those fights. And every one of them ducked him....

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.

What options are those?

[Ray*]

(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.

Stop coming up with excuses, I don't want to hear recycle sheets!!! It's pretty simple if GGG cant get those names that he wanted in the ring then go for Lara, Lara over any other dud at 160, aren't you guys tired of "Mandatories" with a no hoper list? Again no more Wade, Monroe, Macklin, rosado, Rubio, isihda etc if he can't get BJS, Canelo or Jacobs then go after Lara... Simple am tired of excuses or Augulo been you as a deflection.

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"

Lol did he actually say Lara should put in some work? As of now Lara has fought better fighters on his resume that GGG himself. Don't really know what these guys are scared off, it's not like GGG is going to lose. It's not like boxer are running towards GGG to make a fight with him neither. So am not getting the hesitance or resistance to Lara.

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

Because Lara is a 154 lber dummy. What is so special about Lara that makes you guys want a MW with killer power to fight him?

No way!!!! Say it isn't so? I thought he fights at 130? That's very smart of you, tell us more about boxing since 2012!!!

He whips both Charlo's on a daily basis in the gym. /Thread

you can see it on their faces; lara is probably a f#Cking monster in the gym. long ass arms, great, great amateur background fighting with headgear. all of that speed. southpaw. knows every trick in the book to escape. doesn't have to worry about stinking the joint out. and he punches hard enough to keep you honest.


i'm sure lara is a f#cking absolute animal in that gym, and that it belongs to him. perfect style for a dude you don't want to spar with.

[_Maxi]

Anyone know? I don't see him fighting either Charlo, so why stay at 154?

His chin......

GGG not at Top 10 Middleweight?

golovkin's top 10 p4p on any credible list.


this is kind of a red herring comment. the poster who started the thread is asking why lara, who supposedly wants a golovkin fight, is still at 154 lbs. it's a completely legitimate question for any objective observer. why is he fighting at 154 and expecting a fight with golovkin, for a rumored 3million in purse, on PPV? don't you see the issue that somebody might have with that?
