    What have we seem GGG struggle with? Good boxers that can move and have good defense, thats exactly what lara is. He has a pretty good chance to move side to side, stay off the ropes and just dance around GGG forcing him to constantly reset and over commit, he would also start tagging him with straight lefts which have alot of pop on them. Also GGG is past it now, laras speed/movement would give him trouble i am 100% sure of it.

    GGG has failed to KO his 2 best opponents that is just facts. Im a fan of his but i cant just ignore facts.
    Who gave GGG his biggest trouble? Danny Jacobs, 6'1 and with a 90% KO ratio that weights 180+ pounds with fast counter punches tha also punches in bunches., Canelo Alvarez, quick and fast counters that throws in bunches with good body work and with a great chin, and with a defense that is based in UPPER BODY MOVEMENT instead of foot work.

    Lara, fast on his feet (Useless against GGG) and 1-2, with good defense, great straigt left and nothing else.

      Lara's team recently said they wanted to break the title defense record at 154.

      I think Lara can beat all of the fighters on the card tomorrow.
      He actually called out Jermell Charlo. He said the could be friend outside the ring. So Lara may want to see the winner of the Charlo/Lubin fight next.

        What lara have in common with jacobs? Hes also fast and has good movement if not better. I also think lara is a better pure boxer than jacobs jacobs is little bit sloppy at times. Laras more skilled , jacobs is just bigger.

          No, not just bigger, Jacobs is just as fast if not faster than Lara, and he has great counter punching skills that Lara lacked and his output is far greater than Lara's and punches ALOT harder than Lara.

            Jacobs is not a better counter puncher than lara, more explosive and powerful though.

              No way Lara beats GGG. If Angulo is far slower and more predictable and less accurate than GGG was able to give Lara a brutal fight, GGG would definitely beat him. It takes more than just being a skilled fighter to beat GGG.

                Lara lost vs Molina.

                Had a lot of problems vs Angulo, he was near of lost by TKO.

                Lara can't take a punch of Golovkin and he is not good in the inside.

                He has not good chin and his defense depends on his footwork.

                He has not the bending of Canelo or the skills to fight back to the ropes.

                Golovkin will kill him in 5 rounds.

                  Jacobs and Lara are two different fighters. Way different.

                    If angulo dropped lara, then why didnt canelo drop him too? Does that mean angulo is better than canelo?

                      Lara has the lateral movement and long range style to give GGG problems. Slow foot canelo evaded him for a good portion of the fight what makes you think lara cant do the same? Lara is better than canelo.
                      No he didn't. He won UD and by several points with 2 of the judges. That's not arguably.


                      Also apples and oranges. You can't compare a d level caveman like angulo and molina to a jacobs and canelo. It's so funny how you're trying to justify lara looking horrible against molina and angulo. Jacobs is levels above angulo and molina and canelo is a p4p fighter. Yet lara struggles with average to below average opposition. Has nothing to do with triangle theories. If you're being knocked down by angulo you stand zero change against ggg. If you can't see that then you YDKSAB.
