Lara may well achieve the impossible; make a GGG fight boring! Just kidding.... kid has boxing skills. Just no marketing skills.

[Lester Tutor]

not really pbc has been letting fighters fight on hbo when needed they pretty much only ones crossing the street

sure, but we're talking about the American Dream. surely it's a different hierarchy than the general "fighters."

Hopefully it happens. I don't think there is a better fight for either guy right now.

Lara is either gonna have to fight his drinking buddies or some largely unproven prospects thats a lose lose situation. GGG has everyone pissing themselves or saying they'll for sure fight him, but in 2-3 fights at 160. Why not fight each other?

HBO will pick and choose which Haymon fighters they want to work with.If Lara keeps demanding a GGG fight it might happen

I wouldn't say that there's nothing else out there for Lara. J-Rock, Andrade, and Jacobs are 3 that come to mind, and isn't Cotto looking for a dance partner?

Team Golovkin - take what you can get! This is your best, willing opponent, screaming your name from the mountain top.

It's an interesting fight for as long as it may last, Lara has a very spoiley kind of style. I just don't think he can afford to get hit in this fight.

[Chuckguy]

Lara really wants the fight. Outside of a Jacobs fight for GGG or ecxuses from people who claim to be fans of the sport, i see no reason why he shouldn't get the fight.

He is a fawking chinny JMW ffs
Why should this fight be interesting?

How many "families" does Lara have?

Two; his one in Cuba (that he hasn't seen since making the leap) and his family in Houston, TX. I doubt that anything of it should be made of the statement, but that type of joke, to me, is in pretty bad taste in regards to Lara (and the rest of the defectors who have tried to salvage lives their lives beyond Cuba).

There are only issues if you demand more money than you're worth. Watch Lara demand $1M+. I'm calling it now. As soon as this fight gets into the negotiation phase, Lara is going to demand a lot of money.

Look how much attention this bastard is getting just by mentioning ggg's name. Smart guy
