Comments Thread For: Trainer: Lara Wants Bigger Fights, But Must Take Care of Family

[Loque-san]

Lara is willing to move up to 160 only for Golovkin. Just like Golovkin was willing to go down to 154 only for Floyd. It's no that hard to understand.

**** this guy. Yuri Foreman? Delvin Rodriguez? Jan Zaveck? **** him.

If he really wanted Golovkin, all he had to do was fight Alfonso Blanco for the WBA interim belt instead of Foreman, then he'd be GGG's mando.

Beating Blanco would make him Jacobs' mandatory.

He has no one to blame but himself. Same with Rigo. These guys call out fighters, yet demand huge paydays in return. They also don't do much to entice other fighters by stinking up the joint in all their fights.

Go back and watch every Lara fight following the Canelo fight. He got booed in every single one of them, except for the Zaveck fight because it only lasted like 2 rounds but if it had lasted 5 more rounds you undoubtedly would have heard the boos as well. When you get booed out of the building in all your fights, and then call out bigger named fighters but then demand big bucks in order to fight them, you're never going to get fights.

But of course it's never their fault, it's always someone holding them back. The typical victim mentality.

Lara fought on PPV against the biggest name in the sport of boxing and played it safe, let it go into the hands of the judges and didn't get it done.

Did I think he won? Yes. Am I upset with the decision? No. I'm not like Kovalev fans. I can understand that close fights can be decided by disagreement on a round or two. Canelo did what he had to do and got the W.

Lara has no one to blame but himself. He was given every young fighter's dream fight and was content with playing a game of "one for you, two for me". He left Las Vegas with an L on his record and bored casual fans who have no desire to see him perform ever again.

Lesson learned. Don't take any single round for granted.

This right here

Every time he's in a position to shine he stinks up the joint. The Delvin fight is a great example. He should have KOed Delvin in 3-4 rounds. Instead he carried him the distance and the crowd started booing him. He does it all the time when he's put in a headliner role. His ratings are terrible.

Yet it's always someone else's fault. But will it ever be Lara's fault?

What middleweight did Kell Brook fight?

How much more revenue does a Kell Brook fight generate compared to Lara when askijg for a lot of money against GGG?

GGG is NOT "business man." Remember, he "only wants to fight the best?" My point is Lara doesn't NEED to fight a MW to get a fight with GGG, just like Brook didn't NEED to fight a MW when he got the fight! You're right though, it's all about money. Lara is high-risk and low-reward, so GGG will probably NEVER fight Lara!

Poor Erislandy, he's only trying to provide for his family...

He needs to get his kids to school as fast as possible

[Robbie Barrett]

What middleweight has he fought to show he's serious about his calling out of GGG?

You need to update your excuse list, it's out of date. Contact Jubei, Freedom, Maxi or Bigdummyshow for the new list.

He doesn't need to fight a MW but he needs to bring something to the table if he "commands a lot of money" as his manager says. If no Mw belt, no mando spot, then bring some fans or a big money offer like Brook. Bringing big money demands only, thats not it

[sicko]

Lara fan but that is a Bull**** fight I have Zero interest in that, if nothing is left for him at 154 and he is not going to fight any of the guys he work out with then MOVE UP!
