If Floyd did what Canelo did to Lara, you would say Floyd is ducking Lara.

  1. Just another case of the IBC's double standards.

    No. This isn't the WWE. You can't make fights by simply interrupting other fighter's press conferences. I'm not sure who even allowed Lara to get up there and start asking questions like he's a reporter or something.

    It worked for Tarver.

    Roy should've told Tarver to go **** himself. David Haye also tried that nonsense and it ended up starting a brawl.

    Floyd has done it to Pac for crissake. Not at a press conference - Pac has too much class to beg for a fight- but continually since 2009. 5 years of running. 5 years of deliberating avoiding the greatest fighter of his generation. What has Lara accomplished....Who does he draw..... There is no money in fighting Lara, nor any glory.

    Like him or not Canelo draws big, and is PPV...since he was 21. I am sure he is looking for big PPV fights for big money. All this being said, I wish he would fight Lara so he can KTFO him out and shut down useless banter like this thread.

    why do people have a problem with this? its awesome to see fighters directly calling others out.. NO bs interviews no hiding behind promoters no "ummm i wanna relax first an look at my options" "my team and i will decide"

    **** THAT.. call him out build some tension make them look like a complete ***** if they dont want to fight you, its as good as a win as you will get if the guy does refuse

    Pac didn't want to take the test back then and Manny sued Mayweather for trash talking about him. Who the hell would fight somebody that is suing you.

    That's exactly what Margo did to floyd, and floyd chose to fight Judah instead. :-(

    Margo? You mean the guy that bashed Cotto's head in with loaded gloves? That's the guy you say Floyd should've fought? :huh

    I never said that. Barrera is saying because floyd didn't fight Margo when Margo called him out, then it should count as a win for Margo over floyd. :good

    yeh well everyones calling out the p4p number 1. but the story behind margarito was floyd asked for a more money and a gaurentee to fight oscar which bob arum said there was not enough money to make that fight. you know what happened after that im sure.

    everyone wants to fight you when your ontop but i dont think you are ducking anyone if you fight dont fight that person but opt instead to fight a much better one.

    shane mosley coming off a HUGE win over said boogyman margarito calls out floyd in the ring and everyone jumps up and down saying no way floyd faces a big welterweight puncher like mosley! and the fight got made. it was only 2010 guys im sure you remember ;). mosley earnt his shot (not to mention floyd had called him out a while back when floyd was the lesser known fighter coming up and mosley did not want to face him)
