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

[Motorcity Cobra]

Just a simple question. Why is Lara not calling out any of the top 154 pound fighters like the Charlo twins, Cotto, Andrade, Williams, etc, etc. And if not, then why doesn't he call out Sanders, Jacobs, Lee, or any top middleweight and become a mandatory for the middleweight title. Its like he has a fetish for GGG and wont fight any of the top 154 or 160 fighters to better position himself.

Simple question. Why are you criticising Lara for wanting to fight the best one weight class up?

The public is not interested in watching another one of Lara's track meet exhibitions. He would have to run a marathon flat out to survive GGG. He should challenge Usain Bolt instead.

Yep. The public wants to see more Wade/Monroe type competition

Luis DeCubas Jr has nothing but excuses.
Can't even use his phone to make an outgoing call.
It's sad, folks!

Because all Lara and his team does is talk horse ****.
Need to generate interest in Lara vs Yuri Foreman?
Just say the three most electrifying letters in boxing today and generate some buzz...GGG

You might want to have your team make a real effort at a time when Golovkin's team is not heavily embroiled in negotiations for another fight.

You know, rather than say stuff like this right when a fight could be finalized any day for Golovkin-Jacobs.

I want to see the fight, but all Lara does lately is talk. Is Haymon or whoever even contacting K2 about this fight, ever? The only news I've heard is HBO rejecting Lara 2 years ago, and nothing since.

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.

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 .

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

[Graz]

Lara is a skilled hit and run fighter, but Golovkin would break him in half with little effort. He's irrelevant and Golovkin would only be criticized for taking a fight with him.

[Beercules]

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

Did I say he was a lesser opponent than Brook or Wade? Very talented fighter but he won't beat Golovkin.
