    Canelo has huge stamina issues-- lucky he got Kirkland out early-- Gennady will have him panting after the first round
    defenseless by the 4th round

    HUGE Stamina issues??? What a farce... :lol:

    Canelo won the 12th round vs Lara despite having to literally chase him for 12 rounds.

    Canelo TKOd Angulo in the championship rounds.

    Canelo UD Austin Trout winning most of the latter rounds including the 12th.

    Canelo's stamina is fine. Lara was huffing and puffing more than Canelo was, and GGG was gasping for air after 3 rounds last Saturday.

    Just because Canelo picks his shots very carefully doens't mean his has huge stamina issues...

    Just wait after he gets hit-everything changes after you get hit.

    If Golovkin really can't get any of the big name opponents to fight him at 160 (Cotto, Lee, Quillin, Alvarez), then certainly Erislandy Lara is the next best option and a completely willing and wanting one?!

    No reason for Golovkin to not take the fight nor for his fans to not support it.

    If Lara really wants to fight GGG why did he say a few months back he's stopping at 154

    Two can play that game:

    If Golovkin really wants to fight Ward why did he say a few months back he's stopping at 160

    If you take what boxers, trainers, and promoters say as gospel than you will have a very skewed, inaccurate, and idealistic in principle opinion of the sport.

    I believe I've heard GGG and his team say multiple times they will only go up or down for a PPV fight. Ward is not PPV and is inactive.

    Its a knock on Golovkin imo that they dont make the Lara fight.

    It would be one of his highest profile opponents and one that is actively calling him out. G and K2 are dropping the ball here imo

    K2 just said again that they are open to the fight.

    The question is how do you get a Haymon guy on HBO? They told Lara's team previously to contact HBO and work something out.

    A Lara fight is as good as anything outside of unification fights that is available.. if its available. If Lara really wanted to push the issue, he could ask Haymon to make a fight with him and Jacobs, and if he won press the issue as WBA mandatory.

    There is the Haymon/ HBO thing standing in the way and who knows if Lara really wants it. I think if he did, he'd actually move to 160 and become a mando
