Originally posted by Fetta View PostWow 2 losses, and very VERY controversial ones at that, is the end for fighters these days. And then some of you cry about the importance of the "0"
anyway the "best" at 154 is daring to be great and wants to fight the "best" at 160 so yeah "best fighting the best" IMO
He also went to a draw with a journeyman in Carlos Molina. A fight many thought he should have lost.
So we have him basically 'beating' shot fighters, journeymen(Austin Trout) and getting draws with journeymen(Carlos Molina).
Doesn't that make Lara a journeyman also?

Lara's worth will be examined when he faces other top fighters in his weight class. Like Andrade, Charlo's, J-Rock etc.

Originally posted by Irony123 View Postyou guys know my opinion on Lara Vs. GGG, i don't think it is a competitive fight but many seem to call for it... so whatever make it happen.
This is funny though. GGG tweets about a tourney that WBC suggested... Lara says that he is cherry picking and should fight the best rather then a hand picked tournament... lol how can GGG hand pick a winner of a tournament that's just too funny. Anyways hope the Lara fight happens so that this annoyance goes away.
@GGGBoxing I think you are a 🍒🍒🍒 picker! Fight the best not some hand picked tournament! 💯

I don't have a problem with the idea of a mw tournament but that **** will take time. If Jacobs and Saunders decline to fight as they have indicated up to this point, Lara is a good next opponent.

Also can you imagine if GGG has to defend vs. every organizations mandatory every year... we will get too many unwanted fights... so a tourney would be good to determine one mandatory (if they decide to do that) each year.
