    You and Levy Martinez saw Canelo winning the fight the majority knew who won the fight. where's Canelo? you have a man chasing him as we speak and Lara is the only one facing him.

    Remember was a split decision NAC raised a red flag with Levy Martinez for his score card they said there were going to review the tape and talk to him it will be a while for him to work in another big fight. Big mistake for the Lara's team to allow a Mexican judge in this fight.

    C'mon man, I know you're just trying to give me hard time. Yeah I know that even if it's 2 punches it counts as a combination, but I meant that it's rare when he throws more than 2 punches at a time. He punches harder than Monroe but it's nothing that will bother GGG. GGG will have an easy time getting to Lara, Angulo was able to cut off the ring pretty easy. Lara is not going to throw crisp 3-5 punch combinations in the inside because he doesn't have an inside game.

    Lara is only calling him out because he knows that fight won't happen. Just look at who he is fighting next, Delvin Rodriguez.
    Lara is going to get knocked the F out against GGG.

    I think a fight with Lara would be a really tough fight for GGG. Would love to see it though.

    Golovkin is one of the smartest bixers out there. He knows how to handle any style. He's not slick, but doesn't need too, slick American style is overrated.

    I would like to see this fight, I think Golovkin beats Lara, but its a very interesting fight.

    Biggest problem is that Golovkin fights on HBO and Lara is with Haymon. It's unlikely this fight happens just due to that.

    If Lara really wants a fight with Golovkin he would be better served by doing more to land the fight.

    He's fighting twice a year and his last two opponents are Ishe Smith and now Delvin Rodriguez.

    If he really wants Golovkin then move up to middleweight and fight 3-4 times a year against top 10-15 middleweights. That would put pressure on Golovkin to fight him, if promotional issues could be worked out.

    As of now there's no demand for Golovkin to face Lara but if Lara moved up and got busier there would be.

    Monroe is better at 160 than Lara, especially his inside game. Monroe's success came with being quick and slick inside, and punching back. That's not what Lara does vs top flight opposition.

    You cant run a marathon vs GGG, it wont work. You have to outfight him, and put him on the defensive a little otherwise he just controls the pace, the opponent and the fight.

    Almost 34 millions of Mexicans have a lots of weight including Levy Martinez the third judge don't get me wrong I like Canelo but have never seen him looking so bad missing most the power punches but criticizing Lara for stepping up to the plate I think is ridiculous.

    Being overly slick tells me that fighter is hiding glass

    Nope! He's happy fighting weak competition and needs to step up to face Lara

    This would be a Sledge hammer vs a bicycle. as early as round 3 it will be a bicycle with popped tyres.
