    I don’t know if that’s fair. Lara is 43 mate, at some point that age is going to slow him down. Tszyu isn’t quite what I and others thought he’d be but he’s still world class and has a dozen years on the legendary Lara.

    Lara is one of my all time favourites but I think Tszyu gets him on age profile. It’s not exactly a prime for prime matchup after all.

    Lara hasn’t shown any weakness on his recent stretch of wins, even if the competition has been subpar

    I don't think Tim will face Lara next. Jermell Charlo would likely generate more money as an opponent so I reckon he'll be the one they go with. He's got more name recognition in Australia, will attract a bigger television audience in the US & they won't need to pay sanctioning fees in order to get him.

    The Houston Hare has been running from Timmy for years now he knows that he will get a dose of New South in the mouth so I think he stays in his rat hole he doesn't really want to come down under. Chickity China the Charlo Chicken.

    Timmy wants a belt

    Charlo is a clown
