Comments Thread For: Loeffler: As Soon as Golovkin Has a Fight, Everyone Wants Him!

[Eastcoast]

what did I lie about? Lara has never entered negotiations with GGG and has been pretty quiet. I don't follow his twitter so I duno if he called GGG out after teh Vanes win but he and you know that would have been irrelevant considering GGG was already gearing up for either a Eubank or Canelo fight (in terms of negotiations). There are no lies here, just plain facts. If I'm wrong, prove to me that the Eubank and Canelo negotiations were not taking place.

Plus, I've never said GGG v Brook is a great fight by any means but I have given credit to Brook for taking the fight, as should we all. Brook actually had official dealings with GGG and not a twitter period spat. The latter is all Lara has had. If he wants the fight, can't his promotional team get in touch with GGGs promotional team? That is the norm in this sport for over a 100 years.

Nobody ever talks about why Lara never calls out his fellow WBA title holder - Danny Jacobs.

Stop being a troll. DiBella's on record saying Lara & Jacobs have network conflicts when it comes to a Golovkin fight.

DiBella would like to see @GGGBoxing fight a true welterweight or a heavier opponent. When I asked about Jacobs or Lara, told "TV problems."

I am not even sure from where people started getting the idea that Lara would actually beat GGG. They know the fight wont happen and yet people keep harping about him. Lara is insignificant to both of GGG's goal. Fame or money. Infact he is insignificant to anyone's goals which is why he is unknown and hardly gets good fights. He already messed up his big shot by being boring.

Lara always disappears when its time to actually call out GGG.

I would love to have Golovkin fight Lara b/c of all the troll-talk and the Canelo-connection. But it'd be a one-sided fight just based on how Lara's looked vs Martirosyn and even Ishe Smith. He'd get walked down inside 8 rounds, but it'd be fun to see how he'd try to run and when cornered he does fight back hard. But he'd die either way.

We will probably find 10 threads from Larry saying Lara had to go up in weight which is why he lost and how he should fight Charlo next who is the real deal.

And nobody ever asked why Floyd never fought his WBA mandatory - Erislandy Lara.

A defensive wizard fighting a defensive runner???? Man that would be a TERRIBLE idea. I would rather stab my eyes out!! Fk you like toture!

Lara is insignificant. DeGale or Jacobs would be a better bet. I have no love for any one of them personally including GGG. The fact is the guy is unbeaten and if anyone doesn't think these wannabees are ducking him they are delusional. He is a force to be reckoned with in the division. Actually Canelo is a bigger disappointment to me in the big picture. If he hadn't opened his big mouth after the Kahn fight, he might not have lost a large portion of his fan base. He shouldn't have asked Oscar first if he was allowed to speak on the matter before he said anything. For now its Brook, we can deal with the posers after that fight.

Brook had no dealings with K2. Just Hearn. Recall that Brook simply signed the deal Hearn negotiated for Eubank.

Also, why is all the responsibility on making the fights we want to see on Golovkins opposition? Shouldn't K2 be pursuing the competitive fights and not just money fights? Who has Trip called out that wasn't a pure money fight or a known competitive mismatch? I just want to see him in the ring with someone 160 or heavier who can fight. Not WW and JMW guys.

First off, well duh! Obviously a fighters promoter will deal with the contracts.

Secondly, what are you talking about, GGG has actively chased 2 lineal middleweight champs, who else is he supposed to chase? Plus, if a challenger wants a belt, they have to chase the champion and labeling Lara a challenger at middleweight is me being generous.

let's just be honest, Lara has lost every major fight in his career, almost got killed by a shot Angulo and refused to put his foot on the gas in the latter rounds against Canelo and then *****ed about losing that fight. GGG would quite literally end his career.
