    Danny called out Lara for a fight at 155 for the Middleweight Title.

    How do you feel about them fighting at 155 and who would you favor if it happened?

    Lara might stop Danny. Danny won't land much of anything. It was one of the most bizarre and random call outs I've ever seen.

    :lol:

    Danny would have a much easier time with Lara than he would with Harrison. But if he fought Lara at 155, would that be Danny trying to create his own weight class?

    Depends of if he fights at 155 for subsequent fights.

    Well if he beats Lara at 155 then he'd be the MW Champion. Would you expect a blown up 147-er who won the title at 155 to then start defending it at 160? Surely if he's only willing to challenge Lara at 155 then if he won you wouldn't expect him to defend it higher than that.

    The question was would he be trying to create his own weight class? But isn't that what he's doing just by calling out Lara for a fight for the MW Title at 155?

    No. It just means he's trying to capture a MW title at a CW.

    155 isn't the weight class for Middleweight though, so I don't see why he would need to fight there again and again to be trying to create his own weight class. Challenging for the Middleweght Title and insisting that the MW Champ fight him at 155 is doing exactly that. More than merely "fighting there" numerous times if fighting there wasn't specifically your demand or wasn't for the MW Title.

    Lara decision. Danny was impressive but benavidez was gun shy. I still see reach and height being an issue but he will be fast for the weight might be able to pin down lara and target the body like canelo did

    Nah MW title fights at 155 were a stain on the division.

    Yes. If he's calling himself the middleweight champion, he should be fighting at middleweight. Same went for Canelo.
