Comments Thread For: Lara: Canelo Won't Fight Golovkin; He Needs to Fight Me Again

[al-Xander]

This guy's been around for a long time and still dependent on someone's big name. They have such names because they have fan-friendly styles. Why don't you start making a name for yourself without them for once? Fight and beat guys in your own backyard like Andrade, Charlo brothers, Williams...?

The possibility of Canelo fighting you again is one in a million. Who would pay for such crap again?

Lara for some part sniper'd Canelo, he didn't have any chance of winning on scorecards thx to Oscar. He won at least 5 rounds hell you guys talking?

Canelo has the most delusional fan base of any boxer ever. The guy is impossible to defend. He ducks ggg, he gets suspect decision wins and chooses to fight guys like khan and beefy. Bottom line is he won't give Lara a rematch because Lara isn't a face first idiot like Angulo or Kirkland. He won't face ggg because he knows he'd get ko'd. Too bad the days of Mexicans being Warriors and their fans being hard core are over. That's why guys like Fernando vargas got more respect in some of his losses than Canelo has gotten for any of his wins.

I'm a big fan of Canelo! He 26 man still barely going into his peak! He has a long way to go don't hate on the man

No one disputes the fight was close mainly because there was really no fight in the first place because Lara fought like a p@ssy after tough talking his way into the fight in the first place. He got his shot on the big stage and blew it. Ran all night because he didn't want to get knocked out while Canelo chased him trying to make a fight of it. Low output of punches from both but most felt Canelo deserved to win because he landed the harder shots, pressed the action some thought it could of just been a draw and few thought Lara won. But what ISN'T debatable is the fight was horrible to watch and that is 100% on Lara and nobody wants to see it again.

Matter fact look at Lara's attendance and TV ratings since. It's hard to fight a big name on PPV and not improve your fanbase. win or lose the big exposure almost always gives the fighter a boost but Lara pulled off that feat where it went opposite. He actually lost some of the few fans he had and hurt his brand. He's done nothing to rub the stink off from that performance or earn another big fight he's fighting Yuri Foreman for F sake in a fight nobody cares about and nobody is gonna watch.

He ALREADY gave Lara a lottery ticket and fought him once when he didn't have to. It's not Canelo's fought Lara disgraced himself in the ring blew it and is begging for another shot. Lara is also begging GGG to fight him too why doesn't GGG give him a shot instead of losers on house arrest like Wade? At least Canelo has an excuse been there done that and has bigger money fights what's GGG's excuse? You just mad because all roads end with Canelo everyone wants that lottery ticket he's the cash cow and at age 26 has already a better resume and better wins then 35 year old GGG. LMAO

I can't believe the new fans, the best fighting the best is not the best fight for them, safety first for their boxers, and how much money they can make without much danger,

Lara, Hey forget Canelo, Golovkin and the rest. Instead go with your true calling. The Boston Marathon is April 17. You have plenty of time to train for that. There have been plenty of Cuban boxers who have won world titles, but you can become the first Cuban to win the Boston Marathon. Now that will bring you real fame and glory!

I get your point, and agree to some extent, but FYI Fernando Vargas isn't Mexican. Born and bred in the USA. Mexican Americans are not carbon copies of Mexicans, any more than Roy Jones Jr. or Bernard Hopkins are carbon copies of Africans and likely to fight in an "African" style.

1. Not sure how outboxing someone and limiting them to 7 jabs landed while out landing your opponent is disgraceful but ok. 2. Not sure what lottery ticket you're referring to when every ppv headlined by Canelo has only generated under half a mil buys at best. Yes, his name brings popularity but his actual accomplishments aren't all that great. Gifted a title vs Matthew Hatton, schooled by Floyd, generous decisions vs multiple fighters and expected wins over limited guys like khan, beefy, Kirkland and Angulo. He's not exactly setting the boxing world on fire. 3. How long are you going to use his age as an excuse? He's been a pro for for 12 yrs and has called himself a world champ for 6 yrs. How much more time does he need to finally ball up and face ggg instead of these trash fights he's been putting on. Now he wants to bring Chavez Jr back to life? That's lame af. It's funny how Mexicans support him because if cotto had defeated Canelo when they fought and went on to avoid ggg, give up his belt, fight little amir khan etc. They'd crucify him as the biggest Punk in boxing history. But because it's a Mexican doing it everyone wants to make corny excuses for him.
