the point im making is its easy to call out someone when you know the fight wont happen for many reasons I call out Antony joshua at heavyweight for a fight does that make me brave?
The fight wont happen If GGG "Doesn't listen!" He's totally ignoring Lara, that much we know. You're not a pro boxer, you're a turnip harvester!
Not necessarily. Lara can be brushed off in negotiations as a Canelo victim. The fight that would benefit him more is Saunders who holds the WBO belt and a British fanbase. Outside of that, no one. It all comes down to playing the negotiation game. I reiterate my sentiments from the last comment.
Sure he can be brushed off as a Canelo victim if he doesn't absolutely destroy him like all of you guys seem to think. But if he did, that only helps his case for more money on the negotiating table. But he's got to go for it, no more ignoring Lara like he's a nobody. And Canelo will be the mando to BJS, so Lara is the only road if he wants to make a case to why he deserves more than 10 mill.
He doesn't really have to. He's doing well at 154. If he does fight at 160 I'd like to see him vs someone like Stevens first as a test and then a Golovkin fight. Lara should be able to handle someone like Stevens fairly well I'd wager.
Lara said he does want to fight him. Remember he kept calling out Canelo? He didn't want that fight either. He was just making noise.
Actions speak lounder than words. Why not have his team contact Golovkins (like Brook did) and talk to them about a fight. Lara's own manager confirmed they have never contacted them. Saying you want the fight on twitter means **** all. I've just tweeted it now- is Golovkin avoiding me too?
I think that's exactly the point. Neither HBO nor K2 can cover Lara's purse for a GGG voluntary defence, so It would have to be more than just a voluntary defence if It were to happen.
If the right fight and money is there at 160, Lara will fight at 160. But why will he give away his belt and his rank at 154 if he doesn't have any problems making weight at 154?
