Comments Thread For: Lara To Golovkin: I've Called You Out a Few Times, Let's Fight!

[4Eyez26]

i dont see what the big deal is. ggg should just fight him for one of his stay busy fights fights when he usually fights the wades of the world no doubt more people will tune into see him fight lara then a no hope 160 guy. Not that i think lara can beat ggg but i do think he could at least make for a very intruiging fight.

Here is where **** gets kinda ridiculous tho people critique everyone who is "ducking" ggg and then u get guys like lara, ward, and brook who all wanted or still want to fight ggg and they are looked down on over it. it makes me wonder how much is ggg really being avoided cause fighters are scared or is it more money related. like u cant go around acting like ur the most avoided then when u get the best at 154 and 168 at time willing to fight then say well no thanks I was kidding id rather chase around guys who dont want to fight

Golovkin a coward. Not man enough to fight Ward.

...Ward called out GGG one hour after it was announced that GGG had a contract to fight Lemieux.....this can be checked out for a fact......second of all GGG's team had been trying to come to an agreement for two years with Ward....the problem was first Ward was in trouble with law suits with Goossen...they were suing each other....Goosen won the lawsuit three times.....then Ward signed with Roc Nation....the first thing Roc Nation said was that Ward needed two tune up fights before they would let Ward fight GGG...then Ward fought one fight at 172 pounds....GGG and his team got tired of waiting for Andre Ward to make up his mind what he wanted to do...then look at the numbers....Ward fought in his own home town and he could not put 4000 people in the arena....Ward fought at the Citizens centre and there were only 3000 people....every single word I have put here can be checked out by anybody simply by looking at the transcripts....and if that is not enough for you then here is a video by Tom Loeffler.....either Loeffler is lying or Ward is lying....only problem with that is that the transcripts will back up Loeffler and not Ward....



what can canelo do? drain himself to 154 where there aren't any name fighters, move up to 160 which would confirm he ducked ggg, or continue fighting in 155 land or somewhere in between. he basically retired from fighting good competition. now he's just after that easy money. not taking any chances, people should stop paying to see the ducker chickenelo.

Does this Lara guy ever talk to Haymon or what? Is his manager so useless he can't do anything other than tweet? Is the media so useless they don't ask these things?

Saying something and sending an actual offer to their promoters are two different things. People can name drop all day long but unless they're asking for negotiations stfu and keep training

[hitking]

and Im the complete opposite. There is no suspense with how a Lara fight would end. Lara gets ghouled. The only "suspense" would be which round he hits the floor....

Danny Jacobs has been KO'd and was recently dropped by Sergio Mora. So the "when" is there in that one too. There's only two guys at 175 and below that may be favored to beat GGG. So that can't be the motivating factor in watching his fight. For me its quality of the opposition. And if the available guys willing to fight GGG, Lara is the best.

[bojangles1987]

I agree that is the likely outcome but if the fight is in Vegas, (20x20 ring) standard instead of other places GGG fights where the ring size is smaller, the outcome may not be so set in stone.

It's not a knock on GGG either. Boxing and moving like that can frustrate anyone and take them out of their game. ALso, if the fight goes 12, we will see if GGG's stamina against a Lara type would hold up.

Clearly Golovkin's side is worried about that if they won't call Lara's bluff here.

GGG should fight Lara on Sept and take the holiday from GBP & Canelo! there is no one out there that canelo can fight that would be worth the PPV! on Sept. I would rather watch Lara/GGG an pay! than canelo fight a nobody! or a WW! that's for sure! and as far as Lemieux/canelo nother garbage fight with a catchweight circus! thanks a lot GBP you guys suk azz!

[youbeight]

I totally agree with you as it pertains to GGG. I was just making the point that although well-intentioned, the IBF extra weigh in really doesnt prevent fighters from adding alot of weight before the fight.......

thay maybe true, but lets say a guy comes in at 147 day before and normal that morning is at 162 for his previous fights, hed be fine and keep gaining as the fight draws near, but under the ibf hed have to stay at 157 for that morning in and that could limit the amount of weight hes normally used to adding on or how hed put it on since his body isnt normally accustomed to those standards

[M Bison]

I'm up for this one happening the only fault I have with it is Lara hasn't fought at MW before to get ready for it that and people will say Lara was too small and that GGG picks on guys who are weight divisions below him just like Canelo which isn't true.

I doubt Jacobs or Saunders would turn down the big fight offer at least one of them would want it I mean they made it too public about how much of a diva they think Canelo is.
