Mayweather needs to fight Lara..Bottom line..

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Who would be against this fight.. If Floyd took this fight would you not be majorly impressed??That's why I don't get the nay sayers.. It makes no sense..

The 154lb champion fighting the number 1 fighter at the weight. .. makes no sense at all..

No ones against it. It's just not going to happen though, is it? Why would Mayweather take a risky fight with a low reward? This is Floyd Mayweather.

No one needs to fight Erislandy Lara. It makes no sense from a reality perspective.

Exactly. Sure it would be cool to see because Lara has the potential to be a problematic fight for Floyd, but Floyd could fight one of us and get the same PPV numbers as he would against Lara. So what's the incentive? You know how many non-hardcore boxing fans on this planet know who Erislandy Lara is? Exactly zero.

There's no incentive for Floyd to fight him.

Once again..It's this kinda thinking that is preventing very good fights from being made..There is no incentive..LMAO..The incentive is to be great and over come great Challenges..Not for Mayweather is what ya saying..Your saying Mayweather is above taking the tougher challenges..Which imo is unacceptable..

Your both saying reality is,is that Floyd would take on a softer touch(Khan or Maidana),then a fighter that has the tools to give him trouble,maybe even beat him..So this is the reality you guy's except..Sad,really..

Well sorry,I don't agree with this logic..So I speak against it..I believe in the way that SRL Hearns Pryor Duran etc etc all the greats challenge their self's to be great by taking on the best possible opponent..Maidana n Khan are not the best possible opponents..Your thinking(esp calling it reality lol)is what in powers Mayweather to do this cherry picking horse ****..Friends,that's reality..

No incentive?
Erislandy Lara is the best 154lbs fighter right now and he is a different type of fighter than Floyd is use to fighting!

Why should Floyd test himself?
Lets not kid anyone Floyd makes many millions regardless of who he fights so the money isn't the issue!
Boxing is a competitive sport, its about establishing who is the better boxer and how do you do that??
BY TAKING THE HARDEST FIGHT...

[Rome-By-Ko]

You guys would rather see this than LARA CANELO LARA GGG

Is Lara coming down to 147? that's where floyd fights at.... unless the other fighter has a HUGE fan base/country behind em that will pull in HUGE PPV Numbers... COTTO/CANELO

why would he go up to 54, to fight a guy who only the "boxing fans" know or heard of?????? doesn't make dollars and if it dont make dollars it dont make sense

Well here is another B.S.post..Mayweather will make 40mill to fight whoever..So the whole it don't make dollars horse **** is out the window..

Correction Mayweather does fight at 154lb..He's fought there 3 times and has won belts there..Oh as a matter of fact,he's the ring Champion right now..How on earth does he not fight there..Make sense,please..

Lara was a very realistic fight for Mayweather..That he does not want,cause the fighter does not fit the profile..Look who Mayweather is fighting,now look at his last 3 opponents..What do they all have in common..Flat footed fighters with low ring I.Q..Just say Lara does not fit the profile and move on sir..

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

This is sad. Since 2005 there is always the "next" guy that Floyd should fight or that Floyd is "ducking".

And for some strange reason 9/10 its a fight that has no realistic chance of happening.

Rome so Lara is going to outbox Floyd? I mean after all he doesnt fit the profile of his last 3 fighters lol

And when did Lara become this supreme being boxer? He doesnt have great speed, power, boxing skills, defense, inside fighting ability, ring generalship, doesnt have great agility.

Hell I can keep going. Is this the same guy who bends over at the waist and covers his ears when someone gets close to him?

I mean cmon already.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

LIKE I SAID... but of coarse you seemed to skip that part.... HE ONLY, FIGHTS, AT, 154, WHEN THE FIGHTER HE IS MOVING UP TO FIGHT........... HAS A HUGE ASS FAN BASE BEHIND HIM......... 1. DE LA HOYA...... HUGEEEEE FAN BASEE.... 2. COTTO...... HUGEEEE FAN BASEEE.... 3. CANELO.... HUGEEEE FAN BASEEEE


LARA? NO FAN BASE, BESIDES HARDCORE FANS...

Thank you. This pure fact. The only way Floyd will INCONVENIENCE himself and fight at a weight that is not his best at his age is if its WORTH it financially.

Tell Lara to hit 147. If not its a pointless debate. The fight will never happen.

Rome why are you pretending to be naive? I agree with you from a competitive standpoint that Lara, given his size and skill would present a good challenge to floyd. I agree Lara is the best 154 br in the world and deserves a fight for the title.

You know the 3 fights floyd went up to 154 to take, ODH, Cotto and Caneo and you know why. The profile Lara doesn't fit is not style related its draw related. Since GBP knows Lara will not boost sales past 1.5 mil and as such lose money, they will not entertain that fight.

SO how about you cut out the same type of BS you have been chiding posters in this thread for.

[John Locke]

Rome-By-Ko is talking sense.

Floyd is gonna make big money regardless of who he fights. People need to stop defending his antics and believing every word he says. His fanboys would believe him if he told them the world is flat.

No I did not skip over anything..I responded to it,by saying Floyd will make 40 mill no matter who he fights..So why not take the best option out there..Which if you compare Khan Maidana Lara which one is the better fight??

Which fight would you rather see??Just answer that..
