    Lara beats or gives him a lot of trouble.



    Love to see it happen but the chances are 0.

    It would be boring but a lot of technical chess match type boxing going on.

    I thought of that until he fought Canelo.

    He beat Cinnabum.



    Styles make fights anyway and i think it would be a chess match where the better more intricate boxer wins.


    Floyd would be favourite but i think Lara outside of the 160 pound Golovkin would give him the most trouble.


    154 pound wise where he has a belt.

    The judges would fall asleep. And who has lara beat that suggests he could do it?

    Khan looks like a better opponent, actually.

    I saw him winning, but 115-113 is not what I expected. If he just barely got past thru Canelo, I can't expect him to compete with Floyd. He doesn't even let his hands go.

    Khan feasts on pillow punchers, blown up lightweights, and shot fighters to make himself look good.


    He's fighting Pillogieri next so his chin doesn't hit the rafters.



    Khan got **** defense it just looks like he's improved due the opponent and his speed warps the minds of his fans.


    He is always open to counters and when he's roughed up he struggles. Floyd would have a better chance of roughing up the more fragile Khan than he would against the in and out Lara.


    Khan has no chance he just throws washer woman punches.

    Styles make fights. If he can sucker Floyd in to take risks due to the lack of action where the judges may score it a close fight then he could counter the counter puncher.


    Lara has the best chance due to being 154 pounds whereas Floyd would just pot shot Khan everytime with his fast flurries because he leaves himself more open than Pacquiao.


    The illusion his defense is a lot better due to the opponents. It's improved but not by a vast amount. He just clinches more effectively now and times himself better.

    That's the problem, "if he can".

    He doesn't throw punches to do that. And Floyd just makes 150, and toys him like he always does.

    I think that in order to beat floyd you have to do it at his own game, and Lara is the only one with boxing skills to match floyd's. this fight has no appeal, so it wont happen.

    lol, lara made canelo's head like a pingpong ball and people called him runner.

    floyd never landed anything significant in exchanges. ran all night.

    flicked a few left hands on pac's gloves and threw occasional grazing right, round in the bag, lmao.

    Lara is excellent at what he does but he is too limited. Floyd will figure him out round 1.
