    Lara would throw 15 punches a round and avoid GGG as long as possible, unfortunately for him though, GGG has much better footwork and is superior at cutting off the ring in comparison to Canelo

    it would look the same as most of Lara's fights, few punches and much movement, except this time when GGG slows him down with his vicious body punches, he is getting KTFO'd because his defense is not at good as people think (see Angulo fight)

    afterwards, people would say Lara is ****, and GGG cherrypicked a smaller fighter and dragged him to 160

    Anyone GGG fights apart from Ward he'll not get full credit for beating, haters will find ways to discredit any opponents he fights.

    Geale, Murray, and Macklin are top 10 opponents.

    He is insanely massively overhyped and overrated by righteous boxing fans who slam other fighters for the same thing when those fighters have faced way better opponents, however, Golovkin is highly entertaining and his quantity of victories add up. Still overrated by those saying he is the second coming. But I'm not sure he's protected at all. Middleweight is simply one of the worst divisions in boxing right now and has been for a couple years. Unless you feel all good/great fighters are obligated to move up in weight every so often, he's fighting the guys who are out there (who aren't electing to face each other; Quillin, Lee, Cotto).

    One of the worst divisions? What about HW, LHW, JMW or Jr WW? And what was MW division when Hopkins, Pavlik or Taylor were champions? Division was much weaker those times. Now you have at least couple of good European and American contenders. What did we have 1999-2011 except Hopkins? Eastman? Allen? Lipsey? Frank? Ouma? Spinks? Bunema? Pavlik? Who?

    Get real man!

    Daniel Geale and Martin Murray are the two best middleweights in the world apart from GGG.

    You'll find out the hard way when Geale embarrasses Cotto.:deal

    If that's true then have Cotto FIGHT HIM.

    So the lineal champion at mw shouldn't fight the supposed cherry picker and protected fighter who happens to be his mandatory? But said 160 pound cherry picker and protected fighter should go up to 172 or 175 or wherever the hell award fights at now to fight Ward?

    Explain that logic to me.

    I really respect Roach and feel he is one of if not the best trainers going but inflamatory statements voiced under the guise of being media savy really make it difficult not to make a wildly inappropriate joke at his expense.

    I also distinctly recall him telling Manny to do him a favor and "KO this MFer" between rounds in reference to Cotto.

    Funny how money forgives all deeds and makes such strange bed fellows.

    Last link, Roach says Gaele is a great fighter and can beat GGG.

    GGG destroys Gaele, now he says Genady is fighting bums.

    His logic is as flawed and he is as full of jealousy as the morons regularly attempting to bring GGG down on this site.
