    Lara not having legs anymore equals declined fighter. That was his biggest strength

      nah man.......paul williams had the reach advantage also....go watch that fight lara was zipping around that ring like a buzz saw......tall paul could barely get to him.......

          I still think this version of Lara, after tonight, can still beat a Julian Williams. Do you?

            I disagree, I think his biggest strength was that left hand and his counter punching. He showed tonight he can fight on the inside and doesn't have to rely that much on his movement. Unfortunately it was against the biggest and most durable guy in the division.

                  Lara fought the same way from the start. It was his gameplan. It's not like he tried to fight an outside fight but was dragged in to an inside fight because he didn't have it anymore.

                      People said Mayweather had no legs after the first Maidana fight. He showed that was bullshit.
