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

[Kazakh Thunder]

If Saunders, Jacobs, or Canelo are being protected then Golovkin's team should accept this challenge. And do so publicly. There's no one else at middleweight who's even remotely interesting as an opponent for Golovkin.

There is NO challenge, its all talk. At least wait for Lara to contact K2, u cocksuckers are naive.

GGG gains the best win of his career, by far.

But realistically he gets slated either way because he either fights him at a catch weight and then everybody says he was willing to fight lara at catcheeight but not canelo. Or he fights him at full 160 and everybody says hes dragged up a 154lber to 160. Either way hes contradicting the whole reason he wants canelo at 160. Its lose lose

Never ceases to amaze me how GGG's go straight into "he's not serious", "he hasn't sent an offer", "he's not a draw" every time a good fighter says he wants to fight GGG. Then turn right around and say "nobody wants to fight GGG."

Golovkin though did not hear Lara over the sound of his washing machine...

[Boxing Goat]

I love the idea. I want to see Lara get smashed for his negative style. He's like a bigger Rigo with less skill and less power.

Has Lara or Decubas talked to Haymon yet?

[Sledgeweather17]

At what weight? I have no problem if Lara is calling GGG out and is willing to move up. Is it going to happen, do I think he is serious about it? No... Actions speak louder than words. this goes for Canelo as well.

Dude so pathetic!

Lara already said many times that he'lll fight Golovkin at 160, the last time he said that was as early as two days before his recent fight.

Actions speak louder than words? Dude he just invited Golovkin and team to sit down with him for negotiations, what the **** more do you want?

How about Golovkin's actions? He been asked to sit down and talk, what's he gonna do? Pretend he didn't hear nutn?

Canelo was much bigger than Floyd, Margarito was much bigger than Manny, it's the skills that count!

Lara is no Floyd or Pacquiao
Golovkin is much better than Canelo and Margarito
Floyd made Canelo go down to 152
Lara is very good but not skilled enough to outweigh the size disadvantage

Skills and size, otherwise weigh classes wouldn't exist. Lara cannot win this fight. The only intrigue: can he go the distance?

That's the hand that GGG has been dealt. Fight CW fights, fight SWW fighters, or move up to 168. His promo team sucks! If he fights a CW fight, then he ducked Canelo. If he fights Zurdo or DeGale @ full 168, then he ducked Ward because he said Ward @ 164. His best shot at fighting some guys with talent is to a) fight Canelo @ 155, b) "drag up" a 154lb. fighter like Lara, J-Rock, or Jermall Charlo, or C) go to 168.] However, at present, only Lara and Zurdo wants it! If I'm GGG, I go with option A!

I think Lara is very close to Mayweather's skill level, and he has a better ring IQ than Manny. Canelo didn't lose because of those 2lbs. If Lara went to 152, I think he could beat Floyd, and definitely beat Pacquiao. I know GGG is very strong, but I think Lara could beat him by decision. I'd rather see GGG vs. Lara than GGG vs. Billy Joe Saunders or Jacobs!
