    Am I telling you anything at all about Lara? How did Lara come up in relation to my comment? It had nothing to do with him at all. Did you even read it?

    Now that you bring him up though, GGG will massacre him. Most people don't want to see it before Jacobs, BJS, etc because we all basically know how uncompetitive it will be, with Lara being beaten up badly.

    What the hell did you're quote to me have to do with me pointing out Lara is not you're ordinary can? You think him beating the "top 10" in the division is impressive, but truth be told Lara's resume is better then this "top 10" you speak of making Lara the biggest name GGG will have ever fought if he steps up, that is.:deal The MW division is super weak.

    Tyson was an amateur compared to Golovkin.

    MW is no weaker than JMW especially if you disregard weight. At 160. Lemieux, Jacobs, Eubank Jr will beat Charlo jokers, Andrade and Smith.
    There is a reason why Lara is not calling out Jacobs -- he knows he will get his a$$ kicked.

    Mendoza beat around the bush saying he would allow Lara to delay Jacobs beating.

    So for all we know, Lara very well maybe the August fight against GGG.

    Lara isn't a bigger "name" than Murray. In North America - probably the edge to Lara from the canelo fight. In Europe - Murray definitely trumps Lara in recognition.

    You can certainly make a great argument that Lara is a better boxer than Murray. But I highly doubt he is a bigger "name".

    He's the guy who was 2 rounds from becoming lineal middleweight champion. Well known to British "sports" fans. Where exactly is Lara well known to sports fans?

    If Lara fights a no name fighter in the main event if a card - can he even fill 3,000 seats? If so, where?

    Actually that's funny. Point remains - you made a mistake when you said Lara would be the biggest name ggg has fought. It's easy to own up to it as its really not a big deal.

    Btw - I like watching ggg and would love to see him fight Lara. If I was managing ggg there is no way I would make it his next fight however. I think there are easier fights for similar money.
