    why because i said the truth? i wonder who's alt you are, you guys always have an agenda, you'll try and discredit lara saying he needs to go to 160 to get a golovkin fight, but brook and rosado other fighters didn't , i exposed your double standard

    if golovkin wanted the lara fight, it would be done in 10 seconds, sanchez and his team don't want it for a reason

    Lara/Foreman would be a very boring fake fight, no power, watch the feather fists fly.................Lara would probably out point him, another sad fight............

    Please can someone explain to me what Lara has done that Golovkin would be scared of?
    Lara has already lost 2, drawn 2, has never taken an 0 and has barely been in with any one of note.

    I am genuinely confused about the obsession with Lara & Golovkin. I guess some of you are just desperate for the American Dream to be a reality.

    So eye test? So we judge boxing on how good someone looks even if they get beat and haven't faced many fighters to judge them on?

    This is one of the most ridiculous claims of ducking in history.
    Fights at 154, lost twice, drawn twice, no big names, not big ppv, never taken an 0 = brings 0 to the table.
    And you will all continue to claim how he ducked a fighter that would test him who has proven nothing of the sort, just to continue this American Dream.

    Lets see Lara face Brook then someone at 160 like Jacobs and maybe he'll deserve a shot but I don't think he gets through to that point.

    Yes we judge on the eye test.

    I've never said he's ducking him.

    I don't know what American dream you refer to.

    I also wanna see Lara v Brook.

    He fought on the undercard of Junito's very next PPV (Cotto vs. Mayorga), with the intention being, I believe, to put him in line for a rematch because of the "question marks" left by his injury. Unfortunately for the "Boxing Rabbi", his plans were spoiled when Pawel Wolak - shortly before the "Polish Gatti's" career-defining but also career-ending rivalry with Delvin Rodriguez (which also made D-Rod's name for him) over the remainder of 2011 - dominated and retired him in 6, pitching a shutout until the stoppage. That was the last time Foreman saw meaningful action. In the nearly six years since, he is 6-0 (2), but exclusively in 6- and 8-round contests and with opposition totaling a combined record of 80-59-4.

    In other words, he makes for a VERY poor selection for Lara presently, and quite a break in continuity of the Cuban's late upward trajectory of (in reverse chronological & meritorious order) V-Mart, Zaveck, D-Rod, and Ishe Smith (with Shay himself constituting a much higher class of boxer than has Foreman in years, if ever). You can extend that even further in history if you allow that Lara deserved the nod in many observers' eyes against Canelo, PTP, and Martirosyan in their draw in 2012 - functionally making Yuri the worst Lara opponent since 18-8-1 Delray Raines (bringing the likes of Trout, Angulo, Carlos Molina, and even Freddy Hernandez & Ronald Hearns into the fold)
