I think so, and Lara poses the same risk that Martinez posed for Pavlik.:deal What do you guys think?
I do't think that matters doe he did run from chavez Jr.. That's another story.. Reason I made this thread was because it was another lefty with who was a Jr MW moving up that has a hit and not get hit style like Martinez which i compare to Lara based on those attributes. they both posed problems for the fighters they fought, not saying GGG and Pavlik are comparible, but Martinez beat Pavlik and there's no doubt Lara can beat GGG or at least test him.. Thats all i meant. take it for what it's worth.
Now you're chasing me down? Did I hurt your feelings Robney because I think Kovalev has done more than GGG?:think
Lara has absolutely no advantage over GGG in any aspect except handspeed, he poses no threat at all Size- GGG Power- GGG Handspeed- Lara Footwork- GGG Ring generalship- GGG Timing- GGG Pavlik was much less skilled than GGG, but had just as equal an iron chin and heart than made up for his shortcomings
Not even close, Martinez was throwing punches in bunches for the entirety of the match, basically following BHop's blueprint only he was quicker, just like Lara followed Sergio's against Williams only he didn't have the power to even drop Williams with his left. Lara isn't near the puncher with anywhere close to the speed and he's definitely not willing to let his hands go with reckless abandon like Martinez did. One shot at a time from Lara, maybe two if he puts in more of an effort. GGG-Lara is Lara-Angulo only much quicker with Lara not getting up from the 4th round KD this time.
I just watched Pavlik/Martinez 10 mins ago.. No he did Not! And you think Lara wont throw punches against GGG? Why? Because he didn't throw punches against canelo.... Don't forget people actually thought Lara beat Canelo. And Lara-Angulo is GGG-Lara? How many times does this have to be said...........ALL FIGHTS ARE DIFFERENT! NO TWO FIGHTS ARE THE SAME! PERIOD
Pavlik had power and range like GGG, but not even close to the ring IQ GGG brings. Pavlik hardly ever counterpunched, cut the ring off effectively, attacked the body, or used the jab to set up powershots. Other than "double jab", Pavlik was a basic fighter, but going toe to toe was where he shined the most. But he could be outboxed, while that remains to be seen about GGG. If not for his high ring IQ, Ggg would still be a dangerous fighter on his power alone, but he doesn't just rely on his power. On a higher level than Pavlik ever was.
Uh, hell-to-the-no! Lara offers absolutely ZERO to trouble Golovkin. I'd like everyone who thinks Lara is dangerous for Golovkin to give me a reason. Give me as reason! Movement offers Golovkin ZERO, ZERO trouble.
GGG would murder lara. lara might fold from pressure alone. These 2 names shouldn't ever be mentioned in the same paragraph
I did not read low intelligent Mayweather fan thread starter post just the title. And nope, they fight nothing alike.
