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

[Arg_Tincho]

I would love to see GGG take care of this guy. Good test for both.

[Deletrious]

Lara was a good fighter. Either he's gotten old/beat up, or Vanes in particular is just a bad match for him. I like him and thought he beat Canelo by a close margin, and obviously Williams was a horrible robbery.

If he doesn't want to unify because he trains with the Charlos, I really don't know how he advances his career.

GEE don't want none... So IF Lara wants a payday he should target Miguel Cotto. I'd give Jay-Z money for that fight still.

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

**** 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.

What a waste of talent in to be fighting someone like Foreman... he cannot be getting much money and Foreman even less.

Lets be factual here..He beat Williams..and could have easily given Canelo his second loss..in my opinion he won, but we have to with what the record says..He is highly skilled, but not the boogey man Kov was in terms of power, in other words I really don't buy that other boxers are running away from him..There gas got to be a better opponent than Foreman..6 years removed from a title foreman and even then he wasn't very good...what is it with these cuban fighters and wasting their talent.!Fan of rigo, gamboa, lara..but all have wasted their careers..

He must be good friends with Latrell Sprewell

He calls out the perceived baddest man (GGG) in boxing and he gets ignored.

The fact of the matter is, he is very good and considered HIGH risk , low reward. So nobody is going to be in a hurry looking his way.

If he was perceived as a weak belt holder, fighters would have been drooling at the prospect of taking it away from him. They are not and its not because he is a "runner".

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

If Lara was African-American or Puerto Rican, he would be a super star! The same can be said for Rigo! Lara and Rigo are Top 5 P4p on my list! To this day, I believe that Lara would beat Mayweather @ 154! However, I don't understand why Lara won't move up to 160! The only way he gets a fight with GGG is to become his mando! He should've fought Jacobs this year! That would have made a HUGE statement! Go fight Heiland or Eubank Jr., and dare to be GREAT!

What middleweight did Kell Brook fight?
