    It's sheer delusion.

    Please tell me how Sylvester is a very good win. What's his best win?

    The guy has basically lost to every half decent fighter he's faced.
    I wonder if Nelson was a **** back in his youth with the amount of propaganda he spews.

    "He most impressively beat a MW champion in his hometown"

    I was like, "When the *** did Proska win a world title?"

    I thought maybe he meant like an interim title or a "regular" WBA title or something.

    But he literally meant the EB-***ing-U title!

      Proksa Better than Lara.

      Proska lost to Sergio Mora in what I thought was his last fight but he actually got stopped after that by someone I've never heard of.
      In Bats defense no one knows how Lara will look at 160. I think Bat is probably rationalizing the thought that Proska was a top 10 middleweight when Golovkin destroyed him and Lara obviously isn't ranked at middleweight at all.

      Pound 4 Pound, obviously Lara is better. But at 160, maybe he's the equivalent of Arthur Abraham going from 160 to 168 (pretty good to quite poor) or worse, tough to say without seeing how he looks there. I mean, if Golovkin knocks him out in round 1 people will just say Lara was too small. On the otherhand, if Lara were to continue fighting at 160 and held his own or even beat other top MW's like Quillin, Lemieux and/or Lee, then the win look more and more impressive.

      Regardless, if Golovkin were to beat Lara, I'd still think the Murray fight is a better win since Murray is a legit middleweight and Lara is not. Sure, Lara would be the "best" opponent on his resume, but that doesn't mean a whole lot at 160 (extreme example: if Klitschko beat Bernard Hopkins it would be the "Best" name on his resume but it means jack at heavyweight).

        Proska lost to Kerry Hope.

        Kerry ***ing Hope.

          Well yeah I get that but considering he's 170+ on fight night I don't think one jump will be too much.

          I think it's more like Nelson fighting Whitaker and Hatton fighting Mayweather than Hopkins fighting Klitschko.

          Even if we say Lara is the equivalent to Abraham at 168 it's still better than Proska who's just not a good fighter at all.

                I did comprehend it and it was ***ing ******. I don't care if Lara has never fought at middleweight. So any shoe shiner at 160 is better simply because they fought at 160?

                We're talking about levels of fighters. Proska is absolutely terrible.

                  Hagler doesn't fight also, So is he a bum too?

                  Cotto beat a shot/out of prime DRAINED like a ZOMBIE Geale.

                  If you actually read my post then you would know what Murray has done you dumbfcuk, He beat Martinez and Sturm but got robbed because of hometown decisions.

                  Next time do a little research, but it still wont be enough for you, because only sad black fcuks like you can call WORLD CHAMPIONS, "BUMS". smh

                    Weighing 170 on fight night isn't really relevant since every weight class typically rehydrates ~15 pounds or so. Guys at 154 are typically around 170. Guys at 160 are typically around 175. Guys at 168 are typically around 183 and so on.

                    Personally, I don't think Lara would be able to hang at 160. I've said this before; he seems a bit fragile at 154 as it is. The way Angulo tossed him around and even Vanes at times was pretty telling. I could be wrong though.

                    I think it's more like Nelson fighting Whitaker and Hatton fighting Mayweather than Hopkins fighting Klitschko.
                    Never was it meant to be a fair comparison - the point was to use a silly example to show how the "best name" on the resume might not be worth much in the end.

                    Even if we say Lara is the equivalent to Abraham at 168 it's still better than Proska who's just not a good fighter at all.
                    I agree Lara would be better, I'm just offering what I think Bat's rationale was behind his comments.

                      Oh well, you'll probably have to only use your original account soon.
