    Who else deserves the chance? Or are you scared Lara ****s him out and gets those titles?
    That was Williams only pro loss though.

      Juicing can mean using PED's to make a weight he couldn't otherwise make.
      No proof, but it looks bad, there were always serious question marks about how a well built 6 ft 1" guy makes 154lb.
      It's not even like he was skinny like Paul Williams.

        I think it was very prudent move on Jarrett Hurd's part to withdraw from the rematch. In addition, it's about time for him to move up in weight because he is freakin' huge at 154.

        Chances are he's probably been struggling to cut weight for several years now. For example, Julian J Rock Williams was a lot stronger than him on the inside. The bully was getting bullied by a smaller man.

          I think J-Rock Williams should fight Jermell Charlo instead and allow Harrison to continue to recuperate and recover from his ankle injury. After all, it would be for a title belt. That would be a barn burner of fight.

            Nah, Lara is past his prime at the moment. He will taken an horrendous beating in that fight.

            While he is still a formidable foe but yet he is an old ass man with no more legs. It's more than likely that he would probably get hurt or even stopped.

            We've all witnessed what Jarrett Hurd had done to him now just imagine what the man who defeated Jarrett Hurd would do to him?

              Styles make fights and last I looked Lara had that fight in the back but he has now turned to a must see fighter instead of a snooze fest

                Never like seeing fights canceled or just not going happen for one reason or another. Except this one!

                  Yeah, but that can also be is undoing. Because Lara was never made to be an exciting crowd pleasing fighter who stayed in the pocket while eating punches in the process.

                  Erislandy at his best has always been known as a technical, scientific and fundamentally sound fighter, who relied heavily on lower body defense and an extensive amateur pedigree.

                      The fights with perro, williams, castano and hurd say otherwise.
