    I'd pick golovkin by stoppage but it wouldn't shock me to see Lara outbox him until that point or even for Lara to win On points
    That would be a great fight hard to pick a winner GGG always looks great but Lara is a slick boxer who's been in with much better opponents. Think I would maybe just slightly go with GGG but wouldn't be surprised is Lara just outboxed him for 12

    Not sure if you mean Lara has had better opponents than GGG has had , or That Lara has had better opponents than GGG? Either way, I don't totally agree.

    I'm surprised that anybody thinks this would at all be a close fight. Lara has always been pretty good but he has struggled with less than great fighters on multiple occasions. He isn't a bad fight but he would have to go up in weight for this fight and he has proven to have problems dealing with pressure and his chin seems suspect. I see no way how Lara even makes this fight competitive.

    Lara has the natural skill and style to give anyone problems but as impressive as he was blowing out Zaveck, I have a hard time seeing that transition into lasting with Golovkin. Mentalities change when you stand in two way traffic and Golovkins jab and short right down the middle would keep Lara reacting and wishing he entered the ring with a riot shield. He'd be throwing snowballs at a tank here.

    Lara is with Haymon. He can't face Canelo or GGG so that's why he calls them out. He should be trying to get the Jacobs/Quillin winner in the ring, but instead he challenges people that aren't in his league. It's annoying.
