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

The media is useless. They won't ask him anything. They're not helping to make fights happen. Makes one wonder what all these articles about. You won't even have articles about the other side's response. It's all one sided.

It's been a one-sided story for many months now. There's nothing from the GG camp. None, nada, zero.

I would like to see GGG - Lara, if Sauders is not available... But if GGG beats or KO's him, they will gonna say that Lara is too small... etc.

Where's the double standard, cretin? Canelo was mandated to fight Ggg and got stripped for his refusal. Where's the analogy?

When Loeffler said "164" for Ward, GGG fans made lots of excuses, and justified it. When Oscar says "155", suddenly that's different. You can't say it's because the belt, because Canelo vacated the belt! So now what's the difference? If GGG "suddenly" goes to 168, after Ward goes to 175, will we call that a coincidence? K2 was protecting their investment, just like GBP is protecting their investment! No difference!

Anyone who said Lara reminds them of Mayweather most likely have never seen anything more than highlights and are just going by reputation. Lara's not anywhere near Floyd. He has no chin, no head movement, doesn't move nearly as well and is 1/10th the offensive fighter that Floyd is.

The whole comparison is insulting.

Exactly! Lara couldn't hold Mayweather's jockstrap.

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

Is Lara really an option? That is not a PPV fight and HBO has to approve any Golovkin opponent. Lara is straight from the Rigondeaux school of sleep-inducing boxing. why would HBO put its KO star in against somebody like him? They are trying to build Golovkin's brand as a destroyer with "Mexican style." Matching him with Lara who he'd have to chase the whole night can't appeal to Golovkin. HBO could make the argument that such a match is as interesting as watching Golovkin run a marathon--that is what he'd essentially be doing.

That being said, I think Golovkin would take that fight and, despite the risk of Lara simply not engaging, KO Lara. Angulo is nowhere near the pressure fighter Golovkin is and has nowhere near his power. Angulo put Lara down twice at 154. At 160, no way Lara gets up from a Golovkin shot. Also, did you watch the Martirosyan fight? Vanes landed left hooks at will, pretty much. Any one of those clean shots by Golovkin, a much better boxer and way harder hitter, would have folded Lara. The only risk Lara brings to the table is the risk of the fight being boring and awful and I'm not sure Golovkin or HBO want to take that particular risk.

if he is 1/10 of the offensive fighter froid is then he must throw one punch every round. I hope GGG knocks this guy out badly

Don't forget Lara also called out Jacobs/Quillin winner. Jacobs ducking Lara doe.

Says a guy on a boxing forum. Asinine really. GGG has been beating top ten fighters at a higher rate than any active fighter. Ward has beat 1 in four years. Lara has beat 1 in four years. GGG has beaten 6.

So keep peddling that nonsense.

Wladimir Klitschko is probably the most dominant heavyweight champion in history. Hell, he may be the most dominant champion in boxing history regardless of weight. But he won't go down as a great because his competition ******.

You and the rest of the GGG fanboys can scew numbers all you want. The reality is top 10, top 5, top 2. It doesn't matter. GGG's competition absolutely sux f.ucking c.ock. And everyone he's beaten sux, I don't care what they were ranked. He's fighting in a ****ty division. And every time someone outside of that division, who can actually fight, expresses an interest in fight Gennady, people like you have 1,000,001 as to why the fight can't happen. Why it shouldn't happen. Or how the guy calling him out doesn't really want the fight. You're pathetic.
