Comments Thread For: Lara: There'll Come a Time When Golovkin Won't Have an Excuse

[aboutfkntime]

In that case, Murray beat Martinez and GGG beat the snot out of Murray.

Beating Murray, the legit and lineal middleweight champion of the world>>> beating a nobody who beat a guy who was beaten by Carlos Quintana.

what would be easier..... relying on your childish fanbase to make up ridiculous excuses..... or beating Lara?

[aboutfkntime]

There will come a time when even Lara's typical low level opponents would want huge money before accepting the fight.

Look at his last four fights: Ishe Smith, Rodriguez, Zaveck, Martirosyan 2. Are these the types of fights you would expect from a guy who claims he wants to fight the MW champion?

Golovkin's last fights were Kell Brook and Dominic fkn Wade LMAO..... are these the type of fights you would expect from a guy who claims he can beat light heavyweights?

Everyone is ducking Lara. Even Foreman wants none.

Word on the curb is Lara-Foreman is NOT happening on Dec 16th. Lara most likely done for the year. #boxing

Stephen Espinoza also confirmed on reddit he can't get anyone to fight him.

So Lara's fight was canceled. That would effectively put him on the one-fight-a-year fighter category.

How many are now fighting once a year? Thurman, Lara, Porter, Broner, Peterson, Alexander, Berto, Khan, Jermell, Trout...

Its not being scared of him , its being scared of being out boxed , its a risk they dont really want to take as Lara could steal it , not much reward in fighting Lara and he is slick enough to cause problems .

And I think those are your assumptions with nothing behind them.

I'd put my money that GGG and his team aren't afraid of the results of any fight, they just want to play the business angle smart.

I'd say the same for Lara and his team as well.

I'd be surprised if Lara successfully outboxed Golovkin, I think it would be a close fight, but this picture of high risk low reward you are painting, I disagree with that completely.

Golovkin is no amateur with how scoring would play out in the pros... is Lara the type to win on the point system? I doubt Lara cares about ''running'' in the ring from the haters

I don't really understand what you mean here, lol.

Don't get what the amateurs has to do with anything here.

Lara is the type to win in his way if possible, and any means necessary if he is behind, and I'd say that for most fighters out there.

I've never called Lara a runner before so I don't get that referece either, he's a smart, slick boxer and there is a big difference between movement with regards to ring generalship, and actual running in the ring.

Your whole post confuses me lol, can't tell if you are agreeing with my post, disagreeing, or just making a comment on it.

I've always like Lara and admire his skillset and rate him higher than most on here, but if he thinks GGG is in any way, shape, or form scared of him, he's out of his tree.

Maybe not GGG himself, but either he or his people do not want to take the chance with Lara. I know Lara is hated a bunch on here (and other forums), but geez let the guy prove his skills. That is, if the GGG dynasty will allow it. Not that many are calling out GGG anyway. So no fans should dismiss Lara. Let him fight GGG and stop whining about it. If what you claim is true, it should be easy anyway. What's to fear? Just do it.

I can't speak for his team, but fans also forget that there is always a smoke and mirrors game between teams/promotors because at the end of the day it's still PRIZEfighting, so negations will always be there. And just like any business, the best business decision is not always the impulsive or emotional one.

Me, as a GGG fan, I'd love it if he fights Lara. And Canelo. And Ward. and BJS. And Lee. And anyone else. Why not? What kind of a fan doesn't want their fighter to fight and beat the best? Etch his name into history?

I can't call myself a fan of a fighter and be like "well, nah, X fighter might beat my fighter so I don't want that fight to happen".

Negative. I'd be more along the lines of "well, dang. No one is giving my fighter a chance, and the other guy is scary, but F it. Go out on your shield trying to chase history!".

Every fighter in my sig list, I want all of them to be challenged and to seek challenges. To be the best you have to beat the best.

It might be out of your control, the possibility of it happening. If it's out of the fighters control then the fighter deserves no disrespect or hate. You have to be fair. If they flat out don't want it then that's cowardly and I would lose my fandom rapidly. I can't get behind of a man that has less character and heart than I do myself.

How about Daniel Jacobs who is with PBC and Al Haymon, beat him and you will be GGG mandatory instead of all ur talk. Make urself the mandatory, im pretty sure GGG wont drop the belt.

Tell me which 160 mandatory did Kell Brook beat?

[Vasyl’s dad]

What would be easier? Pretending you want to get stomped out by GGG by continously talking about him, or actually fighting in his division moving up the ranks to secure a fight?

"But he beat paul williams doe"

[boxingitis]

Tell me which 160 mandatory did Kell Brook beat?

He sing the contract and brings PPV money. What about Lara?Wade was a mandatory, something Lara can do by beating Jacobs.

If you get hurt by Angulo, you get trumped by GG.
