Comments Thread For: Lara: Now That Hurd is Injured - I'm Ready To Fight Charlo Next!

[Bronx2245]

Charlo needs names on his resume, who better than Lara at 154. Who is he going to fight in the meantime? He's not getting Brook of Munguia right now, he's already not fighting enough as is and the Lara fight is easy to make. Not many options out there right now. Waiting for Hurd would be foolish, too many fighters nowadays waiting on other fighters and stalling their careers

Do yourself a favor, and watch Castano vs. Vitu on YouTube! I think Castano (WBA Regular Champion) would be a good opponent for Charlo! My problem with Lara is that J-Rock is ranked ahead of him in the WBC (and the IBF)! I don't like guys getting shots just because they have a bigger name, especially coming off a loss! Trout didn't deserve that title shot! J-Rock worked his way back, tough fight with Gallimore! J-Rock deserves it more than Lara!

Lara? Pitty-patt? Dance-n-jab? Mr.No-Knockout? Laffn at this clown!

Desperate? Because he wants to fight the best in the division? You want Charlo to sit out and wait for Hurd, for what? He can pick up a good name on his resume now. Good thing you aren't managing any fighters

Bingo..
another posted saying Lara is a high risk low reward fight..sort of, but not really..Lara isn't super popular but people on the internet underestimate how much of a draw he is to an extent. Either way, he's clearly one of the best in the division, people know i'm high on Charlo, but I definitely want to see this fight.

Is J-Rock ready to get rocked by another Charlo?
Let them fight an eliminator. Lara vs Williams.

[PunchyPotorff]

This would be a good fight and should be signed and scheduled. Both fighters are at or near their peak. No reason to not do it.

And BTW, why is Hurd still a JMW? He's at least MW size if not SMW. As it is now, he's essentially fighting midgets. Makes no sense IMO.

Tough fight for Charlo.
Lara could well take him.

[MDPopescu]

... Charlo doesn't have to fight Lara... Charlo may very well take J-Rock, who is ranked at #1 by WBC.

Boxingscene in 2018 mate. Seen this type of comment floating around a few times, fighters getting called desperate and beggars when they go after a top fighter.

This man is done bro! Lara is washed, Jermell is going to hurt him.

That would be good, but again, Williams has put in the work already:

April 7, 2018:

Julian Williams moved one step closer Saturday night to earning his shot at redemption.

Philadelphia’s Williams took Nathaniel Gallimore’s hardest shots well and took control in the second half of their 12-round, 154-pound fight in Las Vegas. Williams won their IBF junior middleweight elimination match by majority decision on the Erislandy Lara-Jarrett Hurd undercard at The Joint inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

So I think Williams is more deserving of a title shot, and really doesn't need to fight Lara in a WBC eliminator, since he just won an IBF eliminator. I would rather Charlo fight Brian Carlos Castano, the WBA "Regular" Champion, but J-Rock, the WBC #1 contender would be my second choice over Lara!
