Take the fkin Lara fight and whoop his azz and shut these idiots up about you fighting nobodies
Hagler & Hopkins did it that way, but they ultimately still needed the little guys to move up in order to gain the attention of the public.
Still don't know if Haymon would allow Lara, remember Haymon was the one who made Quillin pull out of the Korobov fight when it looked to be heading to HBO.Last edited by Eastcoast; 03-02-2015, 09:52 PM.

I like Monroe Jr. But I get the feeling that a fight against GGG at this time might result in a David Reid-Tito Trinidad type of deal.

i doubt cotto is next and if cotto does vacate, his options for the WBC title don't look decent either. Pretty much nothing until late fall/winter when the IBF winner might fight him

Monroe is best opponent for Golovkin based on styles, he's a good boxer and he can make Golovkin work. Johnson would be the most fan friendly. However, I like Monroe but he's not ready yet. I rather GGG fight Johnson, Monroe gets some more experience and fight GGG later if/when he racks up a couple good wins.
