    Saunders is a better boxer than Jacobs, but Saunders is not in the same league as Lara in slick awkward boxing ability. I'd like to see GGG face (in no particular order) Lara, Saunders, Jacobs, Chavez Jr.

      Actually it was an uppercut. That's what Wade said in the post-fight interview, and the slo-mo replay confirms it.

Let's be honest, Lara would be the biggest names on GayLoveKins resume to date. The problem is if he can't stop him, he will expose him, and that's why they make no mention of Lara.
        Oh now you're using actual reasoning, logic, common sense, critical thinking. The GGG fans don't understand those concepts. Their only rebuttal will be jr. high level jokes.

          I don't see any JMWs jumping at the chance to fight him right now. Do you know of any, specifically, with urls as proof? Cuz if there are, I'd support those fights 100%.

            Lara should know about Fans getting tired (aka bored) with his fights

            For one, Lara hasn't been fighting anywhere near the top of his division.

            When Lara last fought he justified his opponent by saying there are no easy fights at this level--apparently that changes when GGG fights.

            Fans have long decided they were tired of waiting for Lara to get in ring with decent fighter, and once in the ring, to actually fight.

              Yes, both J-Rock and Andrade have called him out. Both want it, Lara ignores them. Ironic isn't it.

                That's Ward department--lil-Floyd, lil-g. Ward is bigger than both, calling out both, and calling both lil-g to goad them. Or as you said, jr. High level jokes.

                The ******est thing I've ever heard is people say k2/GGG is afraid of fighting Lara. They laugh at this, no (believe it or not, I've seen it) one over there fears Lara. They think he's a good boxer, but they truly don't think he's a legit threat.

                But they are not about to overpay Lara (who at various times has said he wanted big time money) to fight GGG, knowing they'd not please the fans, the haters, money, or gain any title.

                1. Fan--for the most part, majority thinks Lara is boring and not exciting. Hence 450k on showtime with two other championship fights.

                2. GGG haters--instantly say GGG beat a smaller guy. Laughable, both Lara and GGG come in at 170 on fight night. Lara is weaker, but not smaller. But still, that's what haters say.

                3. Money--Lara has no big fan base, so it's another HBO fight, purse will be the same.

                4. Titles--at 160 Lara has no title.

                  Glad to see Lara mentioning Jacobs now. That's probably the only way GGG will fight Lara. Beat Jacobs, and become the mandatory for GGG! GGG will probably pass on Lara until he becomes a MW.

                    Wade went down from a punch to the shoulder because he'd been hit flush on the chin with a hard uppercut a split second before.

                    He also got up and beat the count after going down from a vicious right hand to the temple that would have dropped anybody from 154 to 168, and probably 175 too!

                    How about you cut the bull**** and show some respect to a brave kid who got into the ring and did the best he could?

                      The guy who landed less than 100 punches in a 12 round fight vs Canelo is not an easy fight?

                      He'll run for 12 rounds... and people will say "he's boxing"
