Lara vs Mayweather

[IronDanHamza]

So do you or do you not think he's the best 154 pounder in the world?

I don't.

His only wins there in the last 6 years are Cotto and Canelo.

He's not even an actual Jr MW let alone the best there.

Like I said, I seriously doubt he ever fights there again.

Fair enough mate.

I read all this b1tching about canelo a guy coming off a lost not fighting Lara shouldn't all the fingers be pointed at mayweather he is the 154 champion or is he to pssy to fight him as well

Only a mitch would say that

Fighting a 154lber is in non way the same thing as fighting a middleweight. Especially if you are a 3 time champ at 154. The ts spoke of lara. You added 160, Martinez and GGG. Tread, nor 154 has anything to do with either fighter at this point.

and fighting a 154 pound fighter is not the same as WW especially when you come into the ring at 150 pounds. Seriously Bush, youve been around the sport way too long to act like that doesnt matter. I just dont get how people can overlook this.

I just saw Maidana come in at 161 against Broner at WW. Floyd is fighting at 154 against huge guys coming into the ring at 150 and everyone acts like he should jump to do this at all cost. He's being penalyzed for being too good. Everyone at 140 is bigger than Floyd at fight night. Garcia vs Lucas and both guys weighed more than Floyd did against Canelo and people act like this doesnt matter and that Floyd should fight all these 154 pound guys.

You guys have to be fair at some point. Just because me might be capable doesnt mean he should, especially since people dont give him extra credit for giving up so much size

Asking a 3 time jr middleweight champ to fight one of the best jr middleweights is not being unfair. That also does not include 160. And what's Floyd going to do at 147 right now?? Fight Khan?? Is that fair to the boxing fan or all the other real welterweights out there?? What's fair to them and us??

Give him credit for what. The only real jr middleweight he's fought? He enforced a catchweight to do it. Why does he deserve full credit for that?? Especially after talking crap about Manny and "wanting to fight Cotto healthy"?

[M.I Truth ?]

Floyd is a Welterweight. That is his current weight class. For a big fight he may venture above his weight class. This has happened three times since he has been a welterweight. The men he fought those times he did venture up were champions that had the type of appeal to make the event a super fight. Each time he won a title from one of these men. He did not defend those titles because Floyd is as previously stated is a Welterweight. Super fights that transcend weight classes are great. But going in it should be understood that there is no mandate for the winner or loser to campaign in a new weight class if that is not their choice. If Lara finds a way to position himself in a way that makes a fight between him and Floyd a super fight then perhaps people would get behind it and we would see it. Unfortunately Lara needs to be given opportunities by actual Jr Middleweights to even start to position himself. Hopefully that happens.

Lara would humiliate FMJ.

when was the last time floyd fought a style like Lara???? NEVER.

Taller/Longer/Stronger.
the pot shotter gets pot shotted.
I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd gets Knocked out.

No floyd fans want to see this fight they'd rather see May-Guerrero 2

What happens when floyd goes against someone who he doesn't have every single advantage over????

Cherry picks
picking easy styles, advantages, since 2008 his Op has been picks

foot speed, hand speed, Length, height everything. Style slow flat footed Plodder
that's it.

if he fights Con he loses serious stock in my book.
fights an opponent like Lara I will stop hating
