Lara's expressed his interest in fighting GGG and is apparently willing to go up to 160 to fight him.
Lara's not seen as a marketable fighter by GBP, so they'd probably let him fight GGG on HBO. If he wins, he comes back to GBP/Showtime as a superstar, so it's a risk worth taking.
I like both guys and think it's definitely an option that should be looked at, they're both being ducked, so why not fight eachother?
I think Lara would outbox GGG until the middle rounds, but eventually get worn down and stopped. Fair play to Lara for offering to move up in weight and fight one of the biggest punchers in the sport though, he's always calling the big names out.

No he left GBP and signed with top rank to make the manny fight! He signed a 1 fight deal with a option of another but top rank declined the option

Sounds like a free agent to me, still a Az GBP shareholder.

A free agent who can't fight for anyone else if he beat manny? Sounds like a top rank fighter to me

Who cares about SSM? Floyd more or less retired him. Manny fed on the carcass as usual.

Last fighter was oscar! So since he's became a superstar he's fought no one!
On another note I've just looked at the under card for manny vs oscar and it had
Broner
Ortiz
Lopez
Daniel Jacobs
Would be some card of they had them all together now

If GGG or Lara are willing to come down to 140 I can assure you Manny would be more interested in fighting them
We only want the best That's why we took on Rios and waited for Marquez to reach his prime fighting age which as we know in boxing is nearer to 40 rather then 30
