larry,
it was never about trying to make lara out to be "great"
but golovkins resume was lacking quality fighters...quality fighters with a name....lara was considered the top guy at 154 and has headlines many of shows on premium and cable tv......it was a logical fight for his people to make...but they showed 0 interest......they were happy to take hbos money to fight dom wade and willie monroe and whoever else hbo greenlighted that they prob wouldnt have for anyone else.....
golovkin v. lara made sense for a number of years when ggg could have used a name like lara on his resume.....and they took the safer route..
