IBF gives Golovkin a mandatory and now Lara speaks!

[SilverMiles]

Martin Murray just lost to Arthur frikkin Abraham. And he wasn't even knocked out. Arthur frikkin Abraham. He may not be a bum but he's the textbook definition of a euro level fighter. And no, Lemieux wasn't a bad cight, buthe it wasn't a great one either. Anyone with any sense knew it was gonna be a one sided beat down. In fact, his moat interesting fight last year turned out to be against Willie Monroe, who I'd favor over Lemieux in a second.

Abraham is the #1 rated SMW so barely losing ( I had him winning) isn't shameful. It seems you don't understand what euro level is. You. Ant challenge for 4 world titles and barely lose three of the fights and be considered euro level. You can't be in the top ten of two divisions and still be euro level.

And many fighters fought fights they're suppose to win. Tyson whole career was that. Hagler MW run was the exact same thing. Special fighters just stand out and are rarely challenged that's just the way it is.

And you said you favor Monroe over Lemule so that would mean GGG fought no bad fights last year. Popularity doesn't equate to skills.

If the Wade deal isnt made, they go to purse bid per IBF rules. Then if that blows up they would move to the next name which is Ndam, which is equally as awful.

But you focus on a bad mandatory (as if GGG has any say in the matter) instead of looking at the REAL issue. If Canelo or Saunders had more BALLS, and less VAGINA, we wouldnt be having this conversation because GGG would be fighting one of them in April or May.......

In our crazy post-feminist world, fighters with vaginas seem more willing to take on tough challenges than their male counterparts, tbh.

Arthur Abraham is rated that high cuz,of what? Where exactly do you rate Abraham? We've seen Abraham against elite guys. He gets beat easily every single time. Abraham isn't elite. We know what he's capable of. And I'm not sure how u had him winning, he did much of nothing for that entire fight.

I thought Murray should have got the decision against AA too.

im not "ok" with it, and actually I think its a **** fight, but it is what it is. Theres a mando due, Saunders ran and hid, and Johnson withdrew, so I'm cool with Wade

That's essentially what you are saying

Lara is nothing.

I rate him #1 at SMW, who else would go above him. And I wouldn't say he started losing to elites, more like he started losing to bigger elite fighters. He was a force at MW and he destroyed Taylor, someone closer to his size.

If the fight happened anywhere but in Germany Murray would have walked out the champion.

Guys who were hating on Lara not so long ago are now putting all their stock behind him.
Half of the guys calling for the fight know Lara isn't serious about it..that's why they are calling for it so much, because they know it won't happen. They want to dress it up as a Golovkin 'duck'.
It's easy to see which posters are using that angle and which aren't.

The threads a few months back were all about GGG needing to step up and face Lee and Quillin. They were GGG's boogeymen. Now that status has been shifted to Lara. A guy from the division below, who is famous for calling out guys he never ends up facing.

Little G doesnt want that cuban boxing lesson.

If lara is such an easy win for big bad GGG. Why doesnt GGG just fight him then and get his name on his resume, it would sure be a better name that monroe or lemeuix.
