I agree with what Lara says 100% . About the loser & the pics ? I believe Lara beat Canelo first time but Oscars $$ & influence got Canelo a win he didn't deserve :smoke
Dafak? atsch Of course Golovkin is an elite fighter. He is the #1 fighter in his division. At worst he is an elite MW. Lara is also elite being the #1 fighter in his division, and having a very respectful resume. Golovkin lacks the latter. Lara has more of an argument at being elite than Golovkin who has not been testes, nor does he chase after tests.
You fools toss the word like "elite" around too recklessly. I don't, since it's mainly subjective. Or placing some stupid letter grade to rate them. :nut
You Fair & Balanced ?? patsch All anyone has to do is make a legitimate challenge to GGG If he ducks it THEN you can talk. Havent seen anyone make a LEGITIMATE OFFER!
On the contrary, I reserve the elite status for the very best. All top 10 P4P fighters are elite, and any fighter that is #1 and /or dominates his division is elite.
Hows about the 35 yaer old againg man starts chasing the Legacy building fights whether at 154, 168, or 175 instead of waiting, or dragging fighters up to his desolated division. If he can make an offer to a Welter Weight, surely he can make one to the #1 or #2 Jr. MW. But of course, they won't match him up against fighters who will hurt his already poor marketability even in winning.. Here is an article you might have already read, but I would give it another read and hopefully it can open your eyes. http://www.boxingnews24.com/2016/01...has-been-calling-golovkin-out-for-a-year-now/
lara has a point here, he is boring, canelo is being a p#$%^ in the ggg situation and has lost a ton of mexican fans. can't argue with those points.
Just being #1 should not make you elite. That's why I think the word is used too inconsistently here. It's about who you beat, and what level you are consistently on. Key word consistent. Anyone can win a belt, but only real elite champions hold on to them for periods of time with successful defenses.
Canelo gave Lara a shot, and Lara stunk the joint up. Canelo also clowned Lara in the presser and had the entire audience laugh Lara off stage.. That was very humiliating and hilarious Lara mad. :deal
If Lara didn't beat Canelo in that fight then Mayweather never won a fight in his career. Lara copied him
