    Honestly think that Lara facing either Figueroa or Magsayo would be a fun fight to watch. Whoever wins between Figueroa and Magsayo should definitely face Lara afterwards. Does Lara KO both Figueroa and Magsayo or does he hit a wall with either of those guys?

    I think Lara gets KOed by both tbh. Lara is a good fighter but he gets hit way too clean, and is often off balanced when he misses his left hook. Those are mistakes both Figs and Magsayo would take advantage of.

    Magsayo is very one dimensional and has the ring IQ of a spit bucket. Lara destroys him. Lara and Figueroa would be a good fight. I'll go with Lara because Figgy is about activity and not defense. That's a bad choice against Lara.

    The fight I want to see is Lara vs Kiko. The fact that this fight is still appealing given that Kiko is 500 y/0 and has been in more wars than an army is a testament to Kiko's greatness and indomitable warrior spirit. Even more so because despite his age, all the wars, and the wear and tear I believe Kiko still has a chance of knocking Lara's ass out. Like Wood, Kiko is a Gatti gene fighter and stylistically a fight between him and Lara would be a delicious an all-out war and one Kiko even at his age could still emerge victorious from.
