My man is the real deal.
Ayala and Camacho Jr had a lot of experience, they were third tier class fighter but were still a test. He raped both of these guys in the 1st round, a cakewalk.
He is 22 years old, already 25 pro fights, 24 KOs, iron chin, lethal body shot, crazy hook.
Pirog and Golovkin would both get knock out.
Rubio isn't even a threat at this point.
I think Golovkin is better than Lemieux. To me, his power is unproved because he never faced a elite fighter yet, but he has decent boxing skills and because he has short arms, he can punch with good power on the inside. I'm not sold on him yet, but with Russ Amber as a coach, he can go pretty far...
Right now, Golovkin is better than Lemieux. But Golovkin already is 28, while Lemieux is 22. In a few years, Lemieux has the potential to get better than Golovkin, IMO.
He's young, active, and growing quickly in experience. I see him dispatching Rubio more quickly than Pavlik did. He looks very confident and relaxed in the ring, I think he has the right mentality and discipline to compete with the top of his division very soon.
He's definitely a dangerous puncher, but we won't know for sure whether he's world-class until he fights a top ten middleweight like Sturm, Golovkin, or Pirog.
I think he'd beat Sylvester and Rubio.
in all fairness homey Golovkin and Pirog should fight a top 10 themself.

I really like him, but feel like he might have been getting undermatched up to this point. I am tentatively excited about his future though. I wonder if he could make 154lbs?

Pirog vs Lemieux... I really like the sound of that fight.
Explosive power, good boxing skills, great KO % although its padded. He is pretty short for a MW but can serve him well for taller fighters as he is a good body puncher. I don't think he will do good against elite opposition at this very moment though. Martinez kills him.
