Lara should move to 160 for Jacobs.

Okay Blanco is an even worst position now that I think about it. He has to wait around for for the Super WBA champs and and the Regular WBA champ to unify before he gets a mandatory shot. And in addition to that wait, Super champs are given 18 months instead of 12 to make mandatory defense. It's gonna be two years before he gets a title shot.

That's a long time to be inactive, but if GGG wants to get back to fighting 4 times a year, Blanco seems interesting: A former Olympian who's an unknown commodity as a pro. Nobody knows him and GGG will get flack for it, but not nearly as much **** as he's gonna get for facing Brook.

So what's the excuse now? That was during Herschman's reign when he banned Haymon fighters from the network. There have been several Haymon fighters on HBO this year.

Khan, Wade....who else? The PBC fighters we do get are the exception imo. For me to be convinced that there's no division, HBO needs to be hosting some of the best PBC fighters on their network. But, we know that's not gonna happen because there have been multiple opportunities to do just that. We would be getting some TR/PBC match-ups on HBO if everything was all peaches and cream between these two en******. HBO/PBC don't have to verbally confirm that they are competing, but it's clear.

I dont get how Lara was not approved but Willie Monroe Jr was

Here's a few reasons:

1. Hershman was head of Hbo, Haymon fighters not welcome. Monroe wasn't with Haymon
2. Monroe came 10-20x cheaper
3. He wasn't on Lampley anti Gatti list

Andrade flat out said he won't fight Lara unless he has no choice. "Last resort" I believe his words were. And Lara shares a trainer with one of the Charlos. I suppose the other is possible, but I highly doubt it.

Oh, i thought you were saying they wouldn't fight GG.

[Motorcity Cobra]

Nobody cares to see that fight. I'd rather see it than Brook, but that's not saying much. But Brook brought a big money, big exposure offer, and Lara brings outsized purse demands

That fight is more talked about than GGG-Brook. Canelo first, Ward second, Lara third. You're delusional and live in a bubble if you don't see how Lara's name is always brought up. The only people who don't want to see thant fight is GGG fanboys an Tom Loeffler. And I don't care about big money and big exposure. I thought it was about the belts? And if you think unifying a division is important you should be pissed we're missing a unification in the Welteweight division because of this POS fight. This fight is not good for the sport. No boxing fan should want to see this fight. The sport is more important than GGG making money and getting more exposure. This is a **** fight and any real boxing fan would be calling it that instead of trying to justify it because it's good for GGG. Which in the end I think taking this fight hurts him more than helps him. It's day 2 and people are still complaining. He exposed himself as a hypocrite. There is a video of GGG himself saying Brook is to small for him. There is a video of GGG himself saying fighting smaller fighters at middleweight isnt' good for the sport. Using his own words this isnt good for the sport.

Thats just an outright lie

I mean beyond the two dozen that post here. I'd bet 95% of the casuals that bought Canelo Lara don't wanna pay for that guy again. And with Lara's purse demands, it's gotta be ppv

[bojangles1987]

I dont get how Lara was not approved but Willie Monroe Jr was

Because Lara wasn't approved back when the HBO/Haymon feud was still in full swing. Pretty sure Monroe isn't a Haymon fighter, so no problem there.

Thing is, there is no hint that they've even tried to bring Lara up since. We know Haymon fighters are on HBO now. Honestly, all K2 has to do is try to fight Lara and people would shut up. It's the way they keep refusing to even entertain the idea that is upsetting.

So is Lara going to fight Jacobs or what? Not only did he call out the Quillin/Jacobs winner, he also called out the Lee/Saunders winner when he was promoting his Zaveck fight.

This guy is fake. The sad thing is nobody in the media calls out his BS.

[sicko]

I agree, stop with the talking Twittering and get yourself in position to get a shot a GGG if that is really what you want and yes it would take 1 Fight with Jacobs to do that. Would MUCH RATHER see Jacobs vs Lara than Jacobs vs Mora II (even though to be fair before Mora got hurt that was a good fight)

[brettWall]

Enough of this twittering bullsh#t. Lara needs to do something different other than just talk. Even fighting the losers of the Quillin-Jacobs and Saunders-Lee will do it for fans. No one will complain. These fights are even easier to make.

[285Kid]

Lara beating Alfonso Blanco the WBA interim champion or Sebastian Heiland WBC silve champion will put him right there GGG/Jacobs can not avoid him because he will be name a the mandatory..

Lara is not fight the twins they don't even bring up eachother name because they workout together , the gym got 3 champions



Then you have Boo Boo Boxing (Andrade) changing his tune now saying he don't really want Lara like that..
