    No one else has beaten anywhere near good enough opposition to have a better case. Unless you're counting Alvarez, which is still a debate.

    You mentioned Andrade, who hasn't beaten anywhere near Lara's competition and wants nothing to do with actually fighting Lara. That's ridiculous.

      are you a Maxi or Rath alt? didn't one of your alts get banned?

      On a serious note, dude...Lara has great upper body movement and power. He can pick shots, left and right while not having to adjust his feet, for example near the ropes. This confuses opponents as boxing is reading your opponents. Floyd was a master at this. He can reach left and right, 1-2's, while still staying stationary.

          The fact that Lemieux is extremely limited, stylistically it's a bad matchup for him and the size difference isn't big enough to matter.

            He's very overrated [people see 'Cuban school of boxing' and go ape****], but he is a great fighter, and probably the #1 Jr MW. His claim is as good as anyone's.

            He's known for his fake twitter 'call outs', so the hate squad latches onto him to demean the fighter they don't like.

            Personally, I don't see Lara lasting 5 rounds against a hunter of Golovkin's caliber.

              and lara can sit at 154 talking ****, he seems to go quiet when GGG is actually looking for an opponet, not saying much at the moment is he?

                Lara gets a lot of love on here because of the P.Will robbery. Yes he was dropped by Angulo but then broke Angulos face, he redeemed the Vanes draw and quite a few felt he did enough to beat Nelo.

                  Ugh, how dare we want to see them fight each other. /s
                  basics....Lara isn't great, but he's good, proven, and has a name

                    yeah, i just dont really get why people have latched onto lara as the guy to beat golovkin lol. Surely people are better off saying GGG is dodging degale at 168 or something if they are that desperate to hate, not some guy whos struggled against fighters far worse than GGG. Pretty sure GGG has fought movers like lara in the amateurs, hes not suddenly going to get exposed by someone who moves a bit lol

                      your trolling doesn't really fool anyone as there was a bout called ''Golovkin vs Brook.''

                      we should make a deal, how about you put me on ignore list and vise versa? the alts always reappear
