Comments Thread For: Canelo Smiles: Lara Calling Out GGG, Golovkin Won't Fight Him!

[ThatDude44]

Lara got put on the map for his fight with P.Will, Angulo(prime) and Trout. Also don't be that guy Lara is a threat. I'm a fan of GGG but Lara has been calling for 2 years.

It is Hypocritical for Nelo too bring up Lara considering many people( me included) thought he lost that fight and refused a rematch.

At least Canelo took the challenge of fighting someone like Lara that's difficult and brings no money to the table.

This excuse that it's a hard fight to make has to stop. I work hard making the money I spend to watch and buy these fights god dammit

[HeroBando]

Because GGG had just started fighting on HBO!!!! He wasn't on HBO when Lara was there and if he was I guarantee you Lara would've fought him. Who has Lara ever ducked??? Lara saw early on how great of a fighter GGG was and he called him out to fight!! And the fight may not be simple to make. Wade is a simple fight to make. Monroe Jr is a simple fight to make. Stevens is a simple fight to make. Stop making the simple and easy fights to make and make a fight that'll require some hard work. Main Events just went thru hell to make a fight but it got made. Loeffler needs to stop making the simple and easy fights. The Canelo fight isn't going to be easy to make but I guarantee he'll make that fight and take whatever crumbs Canelo throws him.

I get it, all these guys think them vs Ggg is a mega fight and mega risk and they need to be compensated properly. Except the mega money isn't there, and these are really mismatches at the bookies. Some are more compelling, Jacobs has some power and is a likeable NYer, Saunders has a belt Ggg wants. Guys that bring nothing gotta be a bit more flexible, if they want it of course. IYO what's fair money for Lara?

I don't like canelo but I find it funny he's using gggs own words about focusing on a certain weight. Only difference is, canelo has time on his side, so this sucks for ggg. His plan of fighting scrubs in hopes of that big money fight is closing on him rapidly

i was gonna jump on canlo but what he said makes tons of sense. his focus is 154.......never fought at the actual weight of 160. so why are golovkin fans in a rage about him fighting at 154?

Boxingscene article coming soon:

"Lara smiles: GGG calling out Canelo! Canelo won't fight him!"

Then it will come full circle. Smith calls out Canelo for ducking GGG. Canelo calls out GGG for ducking Lara (which is bull****). Lara calls out Canelo for ducking GGG. All these guys arguing over who is ducking GGG the worst. Boxing in 2016. What a joke.

[umop-ap!sdn]

For at least 3 years. Since 2013. Around the time GGG was starting to pick up steam. Before the Stevens fight. He was giving him props and recognized GGG was a good fighter. Who was calling GGG out back in 2013 before he was as big as he is now?

@gggboxing Very good fighter. Me like to fight you soon! Good luck next fight #laravsggg

But even back then Tom was saying no.

@MarkEOrtega Lara fights on Showtime and had draws with Vanes and Molina, GGG vs Stevens=high ratings, who watches Lara?

@RedZone_Moss @MarkEOrtega @hector_gomez810 Lara fights on Showtime and is Jr Middle, why would he be on our radar?

so GGG and his team say they will fight ward at 164 but now that ward is at 175 and has a fight with sergey and cant make 168, sanchez and GGG want ward at 168 HAHAHAHA. what a *****.

Yah they have their war boots on when it comes to Canoli but when it comes to ward they put on them shiny black tap shoes!

The second he loses his undefeated record (if he does) than he will fight all the names. But I feel they won't fight those threats while he is undefeated so that they can keep his mystique of being unbeatable alive.

Redhead got jokes now.Lol.If GGG were to fight Lara and beat him more decisively or even destroy him, then that Sept 2017 date would be pushed back to the next Olympics.Until Canelo sees legit slippage in Golovkin he doesn't want no part of him.
But sure, GGG could fight Lara.High risk,low reward fight with a boring fighter.Who's interested in that? At 35 GGG is looking for the big fights and Lara isn't a big enough name despite being a skilled fighter.

Canoli lost to Lara. B.s. decesion and be deserved a rematch at the very least.

His focus is a weight he hasn't made in 2 years? Just said it's hard, he's moving up, gradually lol.

He's got the mw lineal belt. You respect those?

[b00g13man]

Of course he won't.

Did you miss the part where Lara's manager admitted it's all BS and they will only fight GGG if they get a retirement payment, and on it's on Showtime? Or Lou Dibella saying Lara can't fight GGG because of "TV problems."

Name me one top Haymon fighter, besides Khan who had no options, who has fought on HBO recently? It's all talk. How are people this dumb? Yeah, no one who can fight GGG wants to fight GGG, but magically that one guy, on Showtime, wants to fight him. Except he can't because of "TV problems" and because "Showtime has been loyal" (his manager said that). He is using GGG's name to stay relevant and some haters eat up the bull****. But that's all it is. If Lara wants to fight GGG, he can go to HBO, beat David Lemieux, and the fight is his. But he can't go to HBO, and David Lemieux would knock him out in 6 rounds, so there you go.

I'd love to see GGG-Lara though. Too bad Lara's team won't let it happen. Can't blame them. Slow Angulo knocked him down twice. GGG knocks him out in three rounds. I would bet my house on that fight, easiest top fight to pick in boxing. Chinny Lara against the top power puncher in the sport, with a great left hook, when Angulo knocked him down twice with a left hook. With Kovalev-Ward I at least have doubt. GGG-Lara? I would pick GGG to knock him out 100 out of 100 times. Easiest fight to pick. Anyone thinking Lara has a chance needs to turn in their boxing fan credentials immediately.

I'm not sure but they at least have to make a good faith effort to make the fight. If Lara asks for something ridiculous like Jacobs or Saunders, **** him too. But I just don't see Lara doing that. They made an effort with Saunders, he turned it down. Jacobs said they didn't offer him enough money. If they can do 150k with Lemiuex they can do 200k with Lara, especially promoting it off the name of Canelo since he's a common opponent. It can be built as a lead up to the Canelo fight.
