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

[Cinci Champ]

this idea that lara only mentions ggg when one has a fight set up is naive and honestly ridiculous. whenever he has a chance or is asked he wants the fight with ggg hes one fighter that i think honestly wants the fight. say what u will about the fight but there is no question lara would sign to fight him where others wouldnt

WBA/IBO junior welterweight champion Erislandy Lara (23-2-2, 13KOs) is wondering what he needs to do to get WBC/WBA/IBF/IBO middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (36-0, 33KOs) in the ring.

All this guy has to do is talk to his adviser Haymon and tell him to make the fight for him. Much like when Khan got the Canelo fight. Khan didn't just tweet, he reached out to Haymon and Oscar. This Lara guy does nothing but tweet and talk.

This can be a good next fight for GGG. The jacobs fight isn't happening next, Saunders isn't happening next, Eubank Jr is still recovering from his elbow injury. Who else?

If Angulo can catch Lara, Gennady can: he is a much better ring general, but we are all entitled to our opinions although they are very flawed.


But when GGG beats Lara you will claim he was just a 154 lber. Just how you roll...

if Lara fought Golovkin at 160, and then win-or-lose moved back down to 154..... then obviously he is "just a 154 lber"

he is still a better opponent than Wade, and a way better opponent than Brook

Carlos Quintana beat Paul Williams. Big deal. Lara then lost to Paul Williams. Lara is a Monroe or Wade. He has never beat anyone worth a ****.

Lara beat Williams, learn the sport

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

he'll find a way to make an excuse he always does.

Lara beat Williams, learn the sport

I don't know how anyone, that knows boxing or love the sport, can say Williams beat Lara with a straight face.

GGG will beat Lara like Trump beat Hillary: very badly.

Lara a commie sleeper agent who should be deported!

I am 100% positive that Team Golovkin are scared of that fight.

They have used every (ridiculous) excuse in the book to avoid that fight, just like they did with Andre Ward..... the only reason why someone would feel the need to use every-excuse-in-the-book is because they do not have a genuine reason.

If they had a genuine reason, they would say it.

Hard to keep up now, but I think that the latest documented excuse used to justify avoiding that fight arose immediately prior to the Monroe fight..... "Willie Monroe is a bigger draw than Lara".

If they had a genuine reason to avoid that fight, they would not have attempted to state that Willie Monroe is a bigger draw than Erislandy Lara.

We saw what happened in the Brook fight.....
..... well, Lara > Brook, in EVERY department.

The guys who they have avoided all have the same similarities, mover/spoilers who are notoriously difficult to look good against, the slick Cuban southpaw would give Golovkin fits..... they do not want to risk looking bad, failing to put Lara away, or..... heaven forbid, the unthinkable.

They are making the exact same risk/reward decisions as every other fighter..... they are taking the fights they want, and passing on the rest, just like everybody else.

Ha!

Luis DeCubas has said that they're happy at JMW for the time being and there would be lots of obstacles that could block the fight. He said that just a few months ago.
