    Laras been getting called out by Andrade on Twitter for some years now with no response that shows you how tough he is...

    Psssh... Brook is naturally the same size as Lara and more dangerous

    But but but someone called someone something on the Twitter.

    I appreciate your effort but half the posters will never recognize that this is a business

    ggg is completely pathetic and his fans hypocrites. No need to talk about Floyd's boxing politics when ggg is a student of the game. Though I think the tide is turning as more people are seeing the games ggg is playing.

    It's not just the "business side"

    Surely some of you HAVE to realize that the only time Showtime and HBO fighters actually fight each other is if it's a huge $$ event. Think Lewis/Tyson and Paq/Floyd.

    GGG/Lara are NEVER going to fight regardless of who calls out who on twitter or elsewhere as long as both are under contract to rival Networks.

    Lara and GGG's promoters know this.

    Surely some of you guys have been fans of boxing long enough to know this as well.

    Lara and GGG COMBINED don't make enough $$ or have enough leverage to make this fight happen.

    Neither network is going to let their guy fight on the other network.

    I don't think it is all of GGGs fans just the fan club who only allow for the circumstances GGGs PR team dreams up for them. There are plenty of GGG fans calling this fight for what it is and who are actual boxing fans who see both sides of GGG s career. Unfortunately it is the fan club who likes to sit on here all day talking about their man crush.

    You're right, it's these fanboys and they know who they are.

    I'm not bothered about stuff like that.

    I'm bothered about seeing the best fight the best.

    I get other people use things like networks and purses to justify decisions etc, but if a man isn't fighting the best possible opponent I remain unhappy.

    OR .... OR ... I don't know, campaign at 160 and become a mandatory? That's the way Golovkin did it :think

    I suppose that's too old school for Lara, who likes to call for fights he doesn't really want, knows will never happen and at which he would void his bowels if K2 sent him a contract :deal

    Twitter call outs... no one gives a fk. Didn't loeffler say they've never even been contacted by the cuban road runner? Sit down.

    Of course Lara is a better fight than Brook.

    I'm also a fan of competitive fights and I'm not happy with Brook. But I don't see how he's getting all of this heat when Brook is a last minute replacement after he couldn't negotiate with 4 other MW's.

    Neither Lara or Jacobs could have made HBO's date, and GG would have been foolish to turn down Hearn's last minute offer.
