    Nope....

    I heard khan sparred with GGG and took huge shots from him without going down.

    Or was that ward

    lol no, people on here will claim ggg is ducking him. especially if the figh isnt even talked about by the promterd

    thats totally throwing away the little niche lara built this past year. both wins, back to back even, those will be ignored if he steps in the lions den.

    seems KO losses remove everything a fighter accomplished previously

    Lara isn't afraid of GGG and would fight him in a second. But his management seem to be screwing things up.

    If they can't make Lara vs GGG, then good luck ever trying to make Peter Quillin vs GGG

    "HBO would have to speak to Lara's adviser Al Haymon, but we are very happy fighting on Showtime," said DeCubas.

    They know it can't happen. Happy fighting on Showtime? HBO has exclusive rights to Golovkin in North America.

    Incidentally, after Golovkin started calling out Floyd, they asked Sanchez about the Showtime/HBO issue. He said that it would be up to Floyd to work that out.

    Golovkin never called out Floyd, he was merely asked if he would like to fight him and said that he would. K2 never tried to pursue the fight and it would have been foolish to, since Floyd fights who he wants anyway.

    It seemed to annoy a lotta people though and started this ridiculous 'Floyd ducking GGG' meme.

    Now there's a kinda revenge 'GGG ducking Lara' thing going on that's very nearly as silly given the promotional conflict in both cases.:roll:

    Shame really, cos it could have been quite a decent fight, but the odds are slim to none that it actually gets made IMO.

    If 3G is looking for yet another mark time fight why dont he call out Dirrell? Give Dirrell a chance to avenge his loss from the AM's

    They're 1-1. There are sources that say Dirrell won once.

    Andre Dirrell has vanished into a time/space vortex and is trapped in a closed time loop endlessly reliving the super-six.

    We shan't be hearing from him for a while.

    Anthony might be an OK fight but he ain't really that good...TBH I doubt he really wants GGG right now, but it wouldn't hurt to ask I guess.
