You have to be diverse to beat GGG and you have to occupy him. GGG would only be hunting against Lara and he's the best hunter in the business right now.
He should prove it.
If no canelo...move up.
I'd give a few of GGG's opponents a great chance to beat Lara at 160 pounds, and I do like the Cuban's style. It would prove absolutely nothing if GGG were to beat him up.
I agree on Lara. It doesn't prove a whole lot to corral a smaller fleet footed lara into a corner and drop a hammer on him when he really cant hurt you. But i have grown quite a fondness for Lara and his style... which is weird considering i cant stand what floyd became, what ward does and how rigo conducted his business much of the time. Maybe because Lara seems to just take a few steps then sets for an exchange, gets the better of it and moves on before doing it again 2 seconds later. There's no 45 seconds of continues side stepping, feinting, clinching, sitting in a shell just to land a pot shot... He'll throw with you and just finds away to slip or block your shot at the same time. and i have to say it cracked me up when he mocked martyrosians flurries.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
