"If GGG is so great why won't he fight Lara? is it because of Lara's movement and power or HBO not wanting to take the risk in losing their new built cash cow?"

Bread’s Response: I think GGG should fight Lara. Lara keeps asking for the fight. Make an offer and call his bluff. I would sign up for that fight.

SIGN ME UP TOO!

Somebody should ask Bread how he sees a Brook/J-Rock fight going down. That could very well happen sometime next year.

[BattlingNelson]

I will guarantee that Ward turns out to be faster than Kovalev. I frankly don't see how Bread can put that as a question. By that follows that Bread then says that Ward should take the decision. Very viable.

Bread you know Lou Dibella was asked about GGG-Lara and said "There's TV problems." Also that Lara's manager said Showtime has been so loyal to them, blah blah blah, read between the lines, that they want to fight GGG on Showtime, not HBO!

Yeah, GGG is going to leave HBO and bend over backwards to make a fight with mega-draw PPV superstar Erislandy Lara... Bread I thought you paid attention to boxing man. I'd love to see that fight too but after getting dropped twice by Angulo, what makes you think Team Lara actually wants to put him in the ring to get KO'd in three rounds by GGG? That fight is easier to pick than GGG-Brook. No way Team Lara actually wants that fight no matter what they say to get publicity like Eubank has. You should know better as a boxing expert. I'd love to see the fight too but they don't want it.

Yeah, Loeffler spoke to Haymon/DiBella and from what Lara's manger said after that, it's clear that HBO wouldn't pay Lara what he wants to fight GGG.

There's no reason why K2 would want to pay big money for a fighter with no title at MW, who brings no fans, and If Lara's side pay his wages, then it's got to be on Showtime.

In other words, GGG vs Lara is not a do-able fight.

[MDPopescu]

1) actually, in the last 4 years, GGG lost 2 rounds on 2 scorecards at a time.

2) in case Ward shows up, Kovalev would fight about the same way he did in the B-Hop match.

Lara would not be a winnable fight for Golovkin?

Yeah, ok mate, if you say so.
