    You know Lomachenko vs Russell Jr and Vanes v Lara weren't voluntary fights, right? They went to purse bids.
    Lara can not just walk over to HBO and get a fight on that network because even if he isn't signed to Showtime, HBO doesn't normally do business with Lara's "adviser".
    Rosado was able to fight on HBO because he isn't "advised" by Al Haymon.
    Here is what you need to understand:
    Lara is not a realistic option either because HE IS JUST TALKING ON TWITTER.

    This was way before the Canelo fight, so your last point is irrelevant.

    and Lara could fight on HBO. He's one a fight by fight basis with Showtime. He doesn't have a contract with them like Mayweather. And Haymon doesn't really give much of a **** about Lara. He'd let him fight GGG if HBO offers enough money. And if Lara demands to fight GGG, then Haymon would allow it. It's just that GGG won't allow it

    ok lets be real triple g would eventually catch lara and then its over for lara.I like lara he's a tough slick southpaw but his chin would betray him at some point in the fight.triple g is patient and methodical he would break lara down.

    Lara should move up to 160 and fight either Dmitry Chudinov for his WBA Interim belt or Haymon stable mate Danny Jacobs for his regular WBA belt.
    Jacobs should be an easy fight to make. Lara is 1 win away from the fight he supposedly wants.
    He won't do either of those things though, because he was just playing the name game on twitter.
    That's why his next fight is at 154lbs against Ishe Smith.

    Lara would need a football field to hopefully win a fight against Golovkin. In an actual ring, he gets crushed in 6

    Would make a good fight, and a challenge for both fighters. Should they fight I would definitely tune in.

    GGG would control the negotiations and ask for a small ring!!! GGG wouldn't need any more advantages but this one would def put it in the bag for him.

    He and/or his promoter already ducked Lara.

    “He [Lara] is not approved by HBO and never on our radar, he should be calling out Quillin, if he wins, he becomes interesting,” Loeffler said. “Lara fights on Showtime and had draws with Vanes and Molina, GGG vs Stevens=high ratings, who watches Lara? Lara fights on Showtime and is Jr Middle, why would he be on our radar? Lara should call out Floyd, same promoter same TV and he beats both Khan and Maidana, should be easy fight to make. Good fight between 2 solid guys. Yes, same promoter same TV and same weight, makes more sense for Lara to call out Floyd.”

    All I'm hearing is excuses.
