    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..

      Neither did team lara. Why would ggg chase a 154 lber with no title? Lara's camp never reached out to loeffler not one time. This has been confirmed by lara's manager. Lara's team never wanted the ggg fight and hinted at a massive payday. If lara wanted the fight he could have easily moved up to 160 and made himself mandatory. But keep lying and living in your own fantasy world.Wade was mandatory. Monroe was a 160 lber. Do you even follow boxing?

        Lara is really good. He would've given Floyd his 1st L on record (2nd L in reality), which is why Floyd never went anywhere near him. Would've been a great match to see.

          golovkin is the bigger name/star....he was setting up his own fights....he was supposed to call lara.....thats how that works...do you need to be explaing that AGAIN? weve been over this

          golovkin picks opponents of laras stature...a b-side like lara doesnt go to a golovkin because golovkins people would be running the show

          wade was a mandatory injury replacement! lol...he wasnt even #1 ranked!

          what was gabe rosado ranked at 160 when he fought golovkin?

            Nothing more to say about this guy.
            What's disgusting is these 7 fans of his keep buying his crap about being avoided. Which is absolute crap.
            Enablers are disgusting. This sport will die because of these people.

                So you're in your safe little alt just to hate on Glovkin. I see.
                Disgusting part is there's not even anything to hate on the guy. He comes to fight, doesn't run, potshot, clinch and all that boring crap. Yet you hate him because he's not your brotha. I see.
                HBO offered the fight to Ward and said no. And you people still insist on this made up narrative just to hate on him. I see.
                Get a life dawg.

                  Lara is a skilled fighter. He actually had a shot at beating Canelo had it not been for getting on his bike as the fight progressed. Lara will never be a big name or draw in boxing. He's just too boring.

                    Laras supposedly this skilled monster but I saw him throw the same 1-2 all night
                    because he was winning and thought he would get a fair shake on the cards, big mistake by him.

                      He could outbox GGG. Lets not act like GGG ran over canelo he got a close win in which canelo had success too.
                      Haha ggg could hardly hit Canelo how does he think he can land on lara
