Now, normally I would post this and I'd make a :smugbiden: comment while tagging @patscorpio @LauderdaleBoss @GREENandYELLOW & we'd all laugh at GGG as a collective while the #SSShookBoys couldn't do anything about it:umad:..................but things have changed lately since Canelo vs Khan:ld:



Boxing brehs are saying certain fights (even though they would be great matchups between 2 fighters as it SHOULD be in the sport of Boxing) shouldn't happen due to career high purse disparities, fanbase disparities, ticket selling disparities, etc. Well if that's truly the case, or yall truly believe that, then Lara calling out GGG should mean nothing because going by the statements the last couple weeks, GGG is the "A-Side" and has made much more money than Lara ever has, and has a much larger fanbase while Lara is all high risk-low reward.:yeshrug:



So, with that being said...I have to ask, what is the incentive for GGG to take on Lara?:ohhh:



What does Lara bring to the table to make the fight, since being a good matchup is not longer for us Boxing fans?:lupe:





I mean, if we condoning fighters picking & choosing (which I thought we were all against when it was Floyd and we were going at @seemorecizzy about it, but apparently, it seeming that it's actually as long as it ISNT Floyd doing it...we'll rock with it:wow:) then what's the difference here?:jbhmm:

My whole thing about GGG-Lara is Lara being elevated as being someone supposedly is the key/anti-thesis to GGG's style because Canelo struggled with him (but King Carlos didn't :umad:)...its almost as the bad as the spin that Robert Guerrero is still a credible opponent for any top contender/champion at welterweight today

Lara is much better than Willie Monroe Jr though, with a higher skill set, so that's where the thought that Lara would give GGG some trouble. I think GGG beats Lara, but that Lara goes the distance and gives the fans a matchup between GGG and a style GGG isn't as adept as dealing with as opposed to brawlers with average (at best) technical skills that he's been facing.

@((ReFleX)) So.....what's up with the "great" negotiations breh?:francis:



Exclusive: Loeffler confirms no further contact over GGG v Canelo

Phil D Jay 24 May 2016

K2 Promotions head Tom Loeffler has informed WBN that talks regarding a fight between WBC middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin and former belt holder Canelo Alvarez have stalled.

The pair had been given a deadline of May 24 to reach an agreement over a mandatory fight until Canelo decided to relinquish the green belt in a bid to allow more time for negotiations to continue.

Despite this intention stated by Canelo and his team in an official statement over the weekend, Loeffler says this has not been the case thus far.

“I can confirm that nothing has been forthcoming from Golden Boy since they informed the WBC of their decision,” Loeffler exclusively told World Boxing News.

“We are still hopeful that the fight with Canelo can be made and are open to continuing the discussions as soon as Golden Boy are ready and willing to do so.”


Golovkin, 34, now holds the IBF, WBC, WBC ‘Super’ and IBO championships in his possession and just needs one more in order to fulfil his desire to hold all five titles at once. Billy Joe Saunders in the man who has the final strap in his grasp as the WBO ruler and has previously turned down one offer from K2 to step up and unify with GGG.

Should Canelo and his team fail to make their intentions clear in the near future, Golovkin may have no option but to switch his focus to Saunders, which is a fight that can be made despite the WBA’s recent stipulation of a fight with 'regular' champion Danny Jacobs.

A unification by two title holders always comes above a mandatory offering, meaning Saunders currently holds all the aces and may be in line for a mammoth pay-per-view payday should Canelo finally decide to look elsewhere.

@((ReFleX)) you my breh and I know how hard you stan due to our #LWO vs #HeatWave, Kobe vs Wade arguments over the years:obama:




Unfortunately, it seeming more and more like my instincts are right about this situation and Canelo will not be fighting GGG anytime soon. Golden Boy hasn't even called K2 since dropping the belt breh:dead:

with GGG-Canelo seemingly going the way of Superman-Kovalev....the 2 biggest fights in boxing today just like that...no more :francis:...the destroy and rebuild era will be "interesting" to watch


Imo, SOG vs Kovalev is a much better and bigger fight than Stevenson vs Kovalev would've been.

The incentive is that Lara would be the best "name" on his weak resume.. and could arguably be his best competition since going pro.. Lara is also someone who actully wants to fight Golovkin (AT 160) and im sure he accepts that he's the B side..

Fight would be the arguably #1 guy at 154 vs the arguably #1 guy at 160.. should make for a decent scrap

my thinking is both of them have put in work in the division plus the whole unification thing..the winner would truly be the best light heavy in the world

When did any of us say we didn't want to see Canelo vs lil g it should happen just on the a side terms. That's why Lara said he would go to Russia and fight him at 160, Lara understands how boxing business works. :francis:
