Erislandy Lara moving up to face Andy Lee for Wbo Title

[psychod1986]

Yeah just heard that Lara is open to face the winner of Andy Lee vs Bill Joe Saunders.I honestly believe that Lara could have beaten Peter Quillin or Lee,he is the most accurate puncher i ever seen & also is quick an very talentive,he also have a lot of pop on his punches.

[hurricanemitch14]

Have u ever seen Floyd fight???? Throws 25 lands 20.

Id like to see Lara move up and fight all the guys at 160.

[psychod1986]

Sure bro i seen Floyd do that plenty times,just admiring Lara's talent,thats all Lara is a great fighter,he also deserves a title shot .I also seen Lara land 50 percent or more of his punches before.

[diddy]

Lara beats Lee. Comfortably.

[Tanzio]

Lara beats Lee. Comfortably.

Likely, but if Lee lands his lethal right hook Lara will be lucky to get to the cards.

[ikorolev]

I strongly doubt that Lee would fight Lara. What can he gain from that fight ? Certainly not more money than for facing middleweights.

[psychod1986]

Lara beats Lee easily

[caldo2025]

I'd like to see Lara vs Floyd, that would be great. In marathon race that is. I wonder which is the faster sprinter and which the long mileage type guy. They can drape themselves in spandex because it makes them faster and just run around.

Boxing needs to stop rewarding these clowns with title shots and other big fights. Lara is not a boxer, he's a sleeping aid. No one want's to see him in the ring.

[world ranked]

Nobody mention the fact that it could be Billy Joe Saunders that beats Lee. If so I'm not sure Lara gets that shot.

[Boxing Prospect]

Lara won't get either fight. Beat him and you look bad, lose and you look bad...either way you get paid crap. He keeps getting tv time and stinking the place up by being too tentative. I understand the sweet science, but being tentative against non punchers isn't going to endear you to fans nor help you get the bigger fights.

What would Lee or Saunders benefit from fighting him, a loss and a couple of quid? Oooh what an incentive...

[Aaronide_ger]

Andy Lee Knocks the fornicate out of Lara in 10. A Slow Angulo dropped him twice, Andy Lee has more one punch power and more speed.

He is Also a right handed southpaw, Everyone saying Lara will win easy know nothing. He Drew with F#cking Molina and Vanes SMH

[Badhusker]

It all depends on which Lara shows up.

[MachoTime]

If Saunders beats Lee. Lara will still have a lot to choose from The top seven middleweights ranked on BoxRec all have World Titles. Seven Champions with 8 belts combined. .

Ask Trout how well Lara does against southpaws.

[ElJefe]

Thread title is misleading. Of course Lara is open to a world title shot. Doesn't mean it will happen. Hopefully Lee beats Saunders, maybe has a voluntary defence (although the WBO top 15 doesn't have many big names) and then unifies with Golovkin who could have 3/4 belts soon.

[ikorolev]

Lee already said that he would want rematches with Quillin and Chavez after Saunders. Not sure why people think that he would fight Lara instead.

You must not have seen a lot of fights if you believe that!!

I love how people will skew anything to aid their argument. Lara smoked Trout (who beat Cotto). Lara schooled Paul Williams and arguably beat Canelo. Yet he won't be able to deal with...Andy Lee since, ya know, he beat the amazing Matt Korobov.

Schooled Paul Williams? Are u high? It was a very close fight, VERY FAR from schooling. He also didnt Beat Canelo, He has that legit L on His record so get over it, Lara will get KO'ed against Lee.

Lol smoked trout

[diddy]

There's no point in arguing with drunk morons or absolute dopes if you can't debate in a forthcoming fashion. Lara beat Paul Williams EASILY. Anyone who thinks otherwise is too dumb to debate with. Fight wasn't close.

Lara has fought a who's who of opponents. No one has knocked him out and he arguably has never lost a fight. Yet Andy Lee WILL KO him. Andy friggin Lee. Your sheer bias is seeping through your pores. You sound like a buffoon.

[sucracristo]

and he arguably has never lost a fight.

then i argue lara lost to vanes, too

[ikorolev]

Lara who fought Williams, even though showing good movement, stood his ground and fought Williams. I think that after getting hurt by Angulo multiple times, he started running a lot more. He didn't even try to finish journeyman Rodriguez. Judges don't like this style unless it is used by a hometown fighter.

On the other hand, Lee succeeds as a counter-puncher. I am not sure how he will look on a front foot against somebody as skilled as Lara. It may become a super-boring "chess match" where both fighters will wait for a mistake from the other guy.
