    How does Lara fare against the Dark Destroyer?

    you know I give Lara credit for doing well with Williams and Ronald Hearns, but Williams and Ronald Hearns both were knocked out in the last fight they were in prior to Lara and both are tall. Who knows. Just saying. We might be overrating him now.

    You have a valid point, but Lara is the real deal buddy. Its not his fault if nobody else is willing to face him. I notice a lot of people undermine him because of the draw he had with Huggy Bear Molina, who happens to have a John Ruiz style of boxing. Lara is for real. Hear me now, believe me later.

    most guys are too good to be true at this stage. He looks fast and he is southpaw and has good reflexes. I want to see him fight someone like Martinez (who is not a great style for him) or Cotto. If he fought Cotto that would tell us a lot.

    And it's stuff like THIS where the dreaded "over-hyped" word originates. I've never before seen so much over-rating from KOING a Ronald Hearns caliber fighter.
