Ok, now that Canelo is officially the lineal 155lb MW champion of the world, let's speculate, realistically, who he's going to fight next...
I predict that if everything else fails, most likely conflicting from the catch weight issue between Canelo and GGG. Or possibly because Golden Boy wants to cash in on Canelo a little bit more. Then they will match their stablemates, Canelo vs David Lemieux(GB owe him a favor)...I see this as the more realistic option...So who wins???
I really like this match up! Fk polls...
Crawford (who I am very high on) came in at freaking 150s when he was at 135.
Matthyssee (NSB's former hero) would routinely come in at 150s low 160s (if I recall correctly)
lol Nobody mentions that sh1t. Good catch. We already know what it is on boxing scene bunch of hypocrites and flip floppers on here.
They ignore 99% of all boxers cut weight then re-hydrate lol

They conveniently forget that. It's only Nelo who is cheating by coming in heavier than what the weigh in was.
They ignore the hundreds of others who come in a lot heavier than their weigh in fight.

Lemule weighs in at 175... :lol1:

Call me crazy,but I'd favor lemieux. Canelo isn't a monster puncher by any stretch of the imagination,so I doubt that he kos lemieux like everyone is saying. Put that together with canelo flat feet,plus the fact that lemieux is going to come at him like a tank,I'd say the fight is pretty even,if not in lemieux's favor due to the power difference.
Canelo is too technical for someone like Lemieux. Canelo is absolutely at his best when a fighter comes to him, Lemieux comes at you with not a lot of technique, he is not too tall or particularly fast. He is a big puncher, but Canelo doesn't struggle with those, or pressure. I think he is tailor made for Canelo, and I agree with the people that say he will stop him quicker than GGG. It's not always about punching power when it comes to stoppages, Canelo hits hard and he has speed and accuracy.
The only way this fight can happen is at 160.
Lemieux had a very hard time making 160 for the GGG fight... There is no possible way I see him fighting at a CW of 155 or even 157. He would be a zombie.
he'll still try

Guys aren't we forgetting that the WBC is having same day weigh ins starting 2016? Canelo weight won't be 155 anymore guys
Lemule weighs in at 175... :lol1:
I'm actually quite intrigue by this potential match up and honestly quite shock that there's been many posts on this site clamoring a Canelo domination of Lemieux...
I don't object to it if it's your honest and fan-enthusiast opinion...
But I hardly see it that way. I actually slightly favor Lemieux in this match up.
No, David Lemieux is not your typical James Kirkland fighter. I don't see Canelo keeping him at bay with a jab, Canelo's jab isn't that much superior to Lemieux's. Lemieux's a volume puncher and he's more powerful than Canelo. His punching power is better too and Canelo's there to be hit. I don't want to repeat it, but Canelo was landing significantly on the older and smaller Cotto and it wasnt crippling him. I just don't see Canelo's punches to be that effective against a full blown MW in Lemieux. He's proven to have a tough whisker against GGG and has more stamina than Canelo as displayed in the N'Dam and GGG fight.
I would love to eat my words on this match up...
Lemiuex can't make the CW(Canelo Weight 155)..but if he does..I see him being weak during da fight..and probably getting TKO He'll need a Floyd iV TUE to rehydrate just to feel normal... at full 160 he can beat canelo by KO or TKO. .if it goes to the cards. .no one beats Canelo on his cards. .Canelo has no jab or da power to keep Lemiuex off him..he can't just cover his body n take punches to the head like he did vs Cotto facing power guys at 160....I see Canelo getting KO TKO just like Chávez jr ones he moves up in weight. .he still a one dimensional fighter w some hands speed vs stationary fighters...the fact that he couldn't KO TKO smaller cotto says a lot about Canelo power moving up in weight.
Lemuix is garbage definition of a true paper champ he gets KO in the first or second round.
And yes Canelo would get him out soon, Canelo will fight him up close and get him out.
