Could Erislandy Lara last the 12 against GGG?

[Beanflicker]

I think he could, for sure. I'd bet on him going the distance.

In doing so, I think he'd give up most of the rounds though and it wouldn't be a close fight.

For GGG's sake it would be a good fight to make as Lara is genuine class. It would seem he does have some options a least. Lara is a brave man.

I don't think he could last, and if he did it would be a boorinnnnng thing to watch. Angulo gave Lara fits and he fights in an aggressive style like GGG (2 levels below GGG and without his defense or facial structure around the eyes).
I do think Lara's style is a difficult fight for any fighter who does not apply pressure. GGG is all about pressure.

I hope it happens. GGG can say everyone is ducking him but there is a genuine class fighter calling him out. Make it happen.

[Beanflicker]

Well GGG really has nothing to gain by fighting Lara. Lara is a crafty guy but he's a weight class below and he isn't even the #1 guy at 154. Lara has no real right to be calling GGG out.

It's time to get the cowards at 160 to get in the ring with GGG.

[Silkeyjoe]

I dont think so. Lara looks a bit chinny to me. GGG stops him early to mid rounds.

[Master]

No, GGG stops him mid way. Too light and not strong enough.

[Spicoli]

Not by defending against Delvin Rodriquez he wouldn't. Seriously who is making these fights Angulo had that bullish style and temperament but the speed of a parked bus and he dropped Lara hard. I honestly think Golovkin would beat him up down the stretch. Bad match for Golovkin as you don't want to always be mentioned or looking under you for guys to division jump.

But the 2 guys he wants to fight are smaller guys

[Dia bando]

Lara has little chance a fine boxer as most Cubans are,! GGG just walks him down and stops him
in about 8 rounds.

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.

[brocktonblockbust]

eris-Candy La-La sure knows how to run and stink the place out, he's about 2nd to floyd mayweather on that one. I think he could stink the place out and last 10/11 rounds with GGG, then get stopped or maybe make it 12---------boring fight as all hell to watch it will be.

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.
