    They were more tune ups who posed no threat.

    As i mentioned, Lara is high risk/low reward and it doesnt do GG any good to face him. There are so many bigger fishes to fry anyway.

        lol? lara's incredable reign as champion, in nearly 4 years he fought:

        Terrell Gausha
        Yuri Foreman
        Vanes Martirosyan
        Jan Zaveck
        Delvin Rodriguez
        Ishe Smith

        adama and monroe are arguably better than some of those guys lmao, yuri foreman was LITERALLY a cripple going into the fight FFS, Jan zaveck? yes thats right a 40 year old midget no one had ever heard of.

          World class fighter. Im sure if he went the protected pbc style route hed be p4p top 3. Fighters who have done a lot less than him are rated higher cause theyve got an 0.

            Risk far outweighs the reward and it makes no business sense for GG.

            Lara decides to throw some punches in his last two fights and he is Hagler all of a sudden GTFO..

            Lara is extremely boring
            no one is asking him to fight him now...were talking pre-jacobs...heck pre wade and brook....lara would have made alot of sense...but they wanted no part of him

              Lara has fought better fighters than GGG.

                Yes, we need more fighters who talk a big game but really dont put in the work to be great. We need more fighters who do the absolute minimum and then cry when they dont get the decision.

                  Waste of time
                  Team Lara did inquire about a ggg fight and promptly got told to piss up a rope

                    He could still have moved up and ranked, forcing a mando.
