    I think a lot of fans underestimate boxing skill like Lara has & overestimate guys with power like GGG has. I believe Lara would've given GGG a good schooling on boxing for the first half of the fight putting GGG into a tough come from behind type situation in the 2nd half of the fight that he may or may not have been able to come out on top in.

    Lara is a bad mofo, but he's been in Stevenson/Danny Garcia mode fighting guys beneath him for too long & I tend to think at this level of the game thats bad or just not good for keeping your skills sharp so I think Lara absolutely would have some good moments against GGG idk that he could maintain it with how much outta practice he's been with fighting high caliber opposition. GGG for sure hasn't been in the ring with a high level boxer like Lara & it would show.

      Lara is slick as fugg but don't have the "Pop" at 154lbs let alone against bigger guys. GEE would walk right thru him, Cut off the ring and put him down within' 5rds. Slickness/Power of Rigo is what makes him possibly the best out there right now. (Lara only has one of those things)

      I'd watch it, But wouldnt bet Erislandy...

        Absolutely not. Jacobs is much bigger and a better puncher than Lara.Jacobs knocks out almost everyone he fights. Lara went life and death with slow plodding Angulo. Lara was held to a draw by Molina.A Canelo who was not as good as he is now damn near chased Lara out of the ring. Lara would just be another GGG KO victim. He is no threat to GGG at all.

          Nope. Lara would get slaughtered by GGG.

            No. Big size difference and power difference between Jacobs and Lara. Those two things aided Jacobs in making the Golovkin fight competitive along with the skills he brought to the table but those two things in particular prevented Golovkin from just running through him and allowed him to make a fight out of it.

            I like Lara even though I feel he doesn't do enough at times to capitalize when an opponent is over matched. I think as good as Lara is, he is too one dimensional to an extent when it comes to his style. Jab-left-circle out. Golovkin has too much versatility when it comes to his offense that he would catch Lara eventually. The one thing Golovkin has is that he is a very creative puncher with good timing. In a nut shell I believe that Golovkin's offense is better than Lara's defense.

              beat me to it

                He'd probably have a few good early rounds, but that's it.

                  He would beat Lara but it wouldn't be an exciting win for GGG. He would be made to look dumb a few times.
