Lara has nothing to offer GGG. So....

[brettWall]

Depends on what your definition of diva is. There are times when 2 sides are so far apart on negotiations that it's pointless to even begin negotiating. I believe this is one of those cases. Because GGG's team is going to look at GGG as the A side. We've seen it happen a million times. It's what's happening now with GGG Canelo.

And Lara is going to have to do what GGG did to earn his shot. And that's make himself the mandatory. So that means campaigning at 160 and winning some title eliminators.

Lara is not even trying to fight the top guys in his own division. His last four fights: Ishe Smith, Delvin Rodriguez, Jan Zaveck, Vanes Martirosyan... No wonder people are puking. Four meaningless fights in a row.

My definition of a diva is the same as yours. The difference is I don't go around making assumptions with nothing to back it up. That's really a scumbag thing to do. I always see this type of stuff done with certain boxers and with a name like "pan-africanist" i wouldn't expect that from you. Lara has never been a diva to deal with. He's never been one to ask for outrageous purses. Judging from people in the media he's talked to and worked with they say he's a good person. I understand you don't like his style. I wish he was more aggressive. But don't throw those stereotypes on that man.

GGG put himself in position the mandatory position and what did it get him? The belt but not the fight. Nobody talk about GGG putting himself in mandatory positions to fight Mayweather or Froch. Canelo didn't put himself in the madatory position to fight Cotto nor did Cotto put himself in the madatory position to fight Martinez. If you don't like the man and don't like his style and don't want to see him fight GGG that's cool. But don't go making up extra rules for certain fighters that already have to work twice as hard as other fighters just to prove they're equal

Throughout the history of the sport the best fighters from one division would fight the best from another just to fight. They pretend this didnt happen and attempt to re-write history.

this would be the best from 154 fighting the best from 160 and yet they dont want it but expect Lara to move up and fight a better fighter than GGG has fought his whole career to earn his shot. Sad bunch

Lara brings nothing to the table as far as fan base, ticket sales, or TV ratings. Plus he is going to want to be paid top dollar. He's the kind of fighter that wants everything but brings nothing. GGG doesn't need him and there's absolutely no reason for GGG to do this tremendous favor.

if it happens lara will run get his ribs broken get KO'd and retire that is his plan

Exactly what Floyd fans were saying when Lara was calling out Mayweather.

Doesn't have to beat anyone in particular, just get that mando spot if he wants priority. Mandos worked for Ggg, he's 2 belts richer

Indeed no excuse for Lara not to pursue any of the 3 mando spots

TBE got belts at 154. And these floydhype fanboys were the first to insult Lara when he was calling out their idol. He brings no money doe. As if they're all Ellerbe's financial managers. Casuals don't like his style doe. Since when these idiots cared about casuals?

Another one will just appear

You boys go ahead and pretend this is something new
