Mayweather needs to fight Lara..Bottom line..

[John Locke]

Obviously
I was more asking what you think qualifies as evidence he has more power

I've seen Lara lose more rounds than Floyd, and that Vanes fight was rightfully scored a draw at the time it was stopped.

P Will lost and got beat up, but he did have success and I think that was a P Will far from his best

Lara may be the closest to Floyd skillwise from 140-154
I'll agree with that, but even then I think Andrade could possibly beat Lara
And I'm not 100% convinced Canelo wouldn't beat him. I'd bet on Lara in that fight, but I don't think he has as easy of a time with Saul as Floyd did.

The natural size advantage and I just generally think he hits harder.

I had him 1 round up against Vanes when the fight was stopped, he was getting stronger as the fight went on as well.

He had very little success in patches. That doesn't mean much anyway, PWill (any version) would have success against anyone from 147-154, even if it's in patches (like against Lara).

Lara would school Canelo imo.

I'm done with this dumb **** bro..I made this thread cause Latta was the best opponent Mayweather could have fought right now.. It was not to hate on him or to bash his legacy.. Guess this is unacceptable to some..

I never suggested or posted you were bashing him or his legacy. No need to feign frustration. I asked about the 3 fights solely in response to your last post.

Its fine that you think Lara is the best fight out there to be made. I would think its also fine if somone disagrees with you or replies by posting the financial reasons why floyd v lara at 154 wont happen.

The thing is, why is this acceptable?? The best fights should be made.. This has been my only point in this thread, Maywrather vs lara was the best fight could be made.. It's the fight that should have been made..

Acceptable has nothing to do with it. It's just the reality of the world. It will never be made unless Lara can somehow appeal to a greater audience.

I can respect that..I just feel it's a weak point..Esp when May makes so much money a fight..Lara can be just as Marketable as Guerrero was,the fight will still do good(it's Mayweather)and May would have giving us(I'm a fan who Orders PPV and spends hard earned money on these fighters)the fights that are the best possible..

I completely understand what guy's are talking about from the business stand point of things..Let's be honest tho,Maidana is not much more popular or gonna make a bigger fight then Lara..I really feel they are comparable in the marketing department..Just that Lara is the better opponent..

Lara would appeal to the audience if he was giving a chance to be on inside access with Floyd..People would see clips of other fights he's had,and get to know his fighting style a bit more..There goes the interest to the fight..It's going to be the same thing with Maidana..In all honesty Maidana is not a known guy either..I'll give you he had a more high profile fight then Lara's win against Trout,but I believe they are about the same as being known by the general public..

It being acceptable has a lot to do with it..If we don't make threads like this one,or all of the threads knocking the Khan fight..May would have fought Khan,if so many was not down on it..We are the guy's paying for these fights(well I know I'm one of them),we have a voice..

[Rome-By-Ko]

It's funny,I felt this same way about May vs Ortiz..Yet ended up ordering it anyway..I need to practice what I preach..

[The Tase]

no he doesnt.

nobody from the mainstream knows him and he doesnt have an exciting style nor the resume, nor the fanbase for floyd to risk such a fight with him.

There is no pressure for floyd to fight him.

None whatsoever. Another nsb created boogeyman for floyd.

Maidana is known as the guy that just beat the "Next Mayweather". Please stop being ignorant. He's far more known than Lara who has no really notable wins that people in the mainstream will care about.

What is Lara's story? How are they going to sell him? Once again, he's a black cuban boxer who doesn't speak English and has no fanbase.

Yeah because the threads on NSB made all the difference Remember the time Mayweather faced Pacquiao? LOL...

What world are you in? Seriously?

Dude the fans are the reason we are not getting may Khan.. The reaction from this forum and others were negative.. So yes I believe the fans and this forum has a voice..

Maidana is still not known mainstream bro.. After the Maywrather fight that will change.. Right now maidana is not known..
