    Regardless of How you Feel About his Style, Erislandy Lara Should Have been the 9/12

    This isn't about who I think will win. Because I believe Floyd beats Lara clearly by UD.

    This is more about payback for these coward welterweights that have been ducking each other for years hoping for a golden ticket. Every single one of them has taken the east route to protect their hopes of landing the big payday. Their actions have been disgraceful and rewarding their actions would set a terrible precedent for the sport of boxing.

    Khan, Thurman, Brook and whoever else has been on a bum of the month streak. Why should Floyd reward these cowards when he's been fighting animals?

    Which brings me to Erislandy Lara. A fighter who has a history of fighting top opponents and demanding the toughest challenges available. He's Floyd's 154 mandatory and when comparing his body of work to all other candidates, it's no competition. He acts like a fighter is supposed to and has no fear putting his record on the line. Out of everybody from 147-154, he's the only one that tried to earn the fight in the ring.

    With that said, you all crapped on this fight because of his style and as a result, you get what you deserve. A soft touch shoulder roll battle against Berto. He has an exciting, fan friendly style, right?

    Might as well. It's not like Mayweather picked someone who can draw PPV's. Same difference, just a way less exciting fight with Lara.

        you think too highly of Floyd. Lara gives him fits.

          I like Lara more than Floyd. I just don't think he's diverse enough in his attack to cause issues.

            Nah. Floyd out boxes him easily. Berto is a tougher style for Floyd.

              Porter should have gotten it.

                  Porter has fought Malignaggi,Alexander,Brook, and Broner and went 3-1 losing a close fight to Brook is nothing to be mad at.

                    Porter vs Thurman is long overdue. They turned down the fight because they wanted a guarantee to fight Floyd after. He hasn't held up his end of the deal. His best win is Devon Alexander.

                    Williams and Trout >>>> Devon & Paulie, AB
