    Thanks bro. Glad to be back to keep some sort of balance on here while putting fools in their place in the process.

    Mmmmmm to beat GGG, you need to have the perfect combination of defense, chin, power, counterpunchig, and footwork. Hagler, Toney, and Monzon are the only MWs I would favor against a prime GGG firing on all cylinders.

    I think you got absolutely everything wrong in that post. Not one correct sentence. ;)

    Lara has won three WBA middleweight title fights. He became the full WBA middleweight champion when he (Lara) was the mandatory contender for Golovkin, the WBA ordered Golovkin to fight Lara, and Golovkin retired instead.

    So, Lara's not only made noise at middleweight, he's a champion there. He has shown explosive power in the heavier division. He was Golovkin's mando, so there was no one to jump ahead of. Lara was next up. And Golovkin, not Lara, was the one who decided not to take the fight.

    I don't know who wins in their primes, but had they fought at middleweight when they were supposed to a year or so ago, Lara had the power to go along with his boxing skills. And he would've been more dangerous than ever for Golovkin.

    LOL yeah, GGG was afraid of featherfist Lara as opposed to finally being done because he was over 40 :rolleyes:
