Could Erislandy Lara last the 12 against GGG?

But the 2 guys he wants to fight are smaller guys

Well one of them is holding his belt hostage and pretending to be a MW, so that guy needs to step up and stop being a cobarde.

See I disagree. Cotto isn't a ducker. He fights pretty much everyone. You can't blame a guy who has just started at middleweight for not fighting the guy that all the top career middleweights are fucking petrified of. Let him get his fight with Geale out of the way. When at Cotto's stahe of a career, it is best to maximise your earnings, so he likely needs to be sure he can handle the weightclass and it wasn't just Sergio's knees.
