When did Lemieux become a world beater, I must have been asleep

I'd favour Lara to outbox Lemiuex.

 

He became a world beater when GGG gathered a group of mentally ill people to support him. Hell I've seen threads and comments about Rubio being HOF quality when GGG got to him. Oh, and the Ouma win ranks high up there with Ali vs Foreman and Leonard vs Hagler.

 

Id favor Lara to spank most of the MW division. There isn't anyone as skilled as Lara at 160.

154 looks like a talent pool compared to MW.

 

And Golovkin, and Jacobs are the most recognizable fighters on that list. The others are unknown to casuals and even some hardcore fans out there.:deal

 

Lara is more appealing because of his fights against Canelo and Angulo. It is what it is.

 

Lara is more proven than all those guys.

You can say whatever you want about fighter's skillset or lack of, but at the end of the day you prove your quality when you showcase your skills against top opposition.

You're only just better than your most skilled opponent. Yes you can get hyped, and you can show great potential, and even look extraordinary, but you only validate your worth when you fight top opposition.

How many times have we seen fighters get hyped and as soon as they step up in quality they do not deliver.

 

And the way he handled Paul Williams. Paul Williams was a high volume strong puncher who was bigger than Lara.

 

Why do you think Lara would get slaughtered at MW?

 

Yep. I think he only had 13 fights at that time too!

 

Quintana caught pwill on a bad night. That was a Fluke, look what happened in the rematch:deal
