It's seems like they attempt to omit the fact that Lemieux had already been exposed, as a limited can with power multiple times before facing Golovkin... weird.
You're above perpetuating that myth...
When there was a poll a few months back, most here claimed Martin Murray as Golovkin's best opponent. It wasn't Golovkin that turned him into a bum, losing to everyone with a name did that.
David "I miraculously got good before fighting GGG" Lemieux's resume speaks for itself.
Wade?
Rubio?
ROSADO?
Need I go on?
It's an awful division. I wish people would just be honest and say that GGG's talent is not illustrated by his resume. It's far more respectable than propping up a bunch of trash and calling it yard art.
truth...................
Didn't LaMule beat slick bruva Hassan N'Dam, GGG beat slick bruva W.Monroe, both beat Rosado pillar to post. GGG is so many levels above everyone else in the division it seems they're all Z level fighters when in reality some are decent. In fact I have 100% confidence in LaMule KO'ing Fanny Jacobs, quote me on that if the fight ever materialises. Who hasn't beaten the Frenchmen or Rosado? If that's all you need to do to be considered great then Peter Quillen is the goat. Lamule is a limited action fighter with glutenous appetite for jabs,nothing more,nothing less. Golovkin should be receiving points for recycling cans,in boxing's wasteland division.

They aren't bums, GGG just makes them look like bums.

"Golovtards"?
Are we in high school or what? The moderators need to clean up this site and get rid of these hateful clowns. Ban their ISPs or something. They need to do it ASAP. I agree,Im going to call my mommy to report some of the big meanies on this site as well. 😭😭😭
Why do GGG haters insist GGG fights only bums when at least 6 or 7 guys he KOed were rated in the top 10 middleweights in the world at the time he beat them? That is weird, wrong and stupid. Lemieux was a world champion when GGG KOed him so how could he be a bum? Go to boxrec who may not have the best rankings but they are neutral and rank every boxer in the world. They still have Lemieux as the 4th best middleweight in the world. They have other GGG KO victims still ranked in the top 10 or 12 middleweights in the world even now. Geale, Macklin, Wade and Monroe are all rated among the top 10 or 12 best fighters in their weight class right now. They aren't bums, GGG just makes them look like bums.
Absolutely nothing special about g strings opponents before or after he fought them, except Brook who is a welterweight.

lol...........
it was a great performance, faultless. all you hipsters saying you watch boxing to learn the 'art of boxing' suggest you watch that one...
no special feat to be "faultless" against this level of opposition.

I challenge you to find any post where I called Lemieux a bum. I asked a simple question, out of curiosity. The fact that guys like Geale,Macklin and Wade are all still highly ranked at middle speaks to the lack of depth in that division. Also since you seem to hold box rec's rankings in such high regard,I guess that you consider Mayweather to be the best fighter ever....

He improved though. That's what I see there. And, that BOXER yet is "good product" too..IF YOU ASK ME! He improved to what degree? He still has horrid defense,crappy foot work,terrible punch selection,and telegraph's everything he throws. The one thing that he claims to have improved upon is his overall stamina,which I believe the jury is still out on.

Dan Rafael is one of the worst things to ever happen to boxing reporting,and HBO certainly spins their bias, but it still doesn't excuse the sheep mentality of so called "die hard" fans.
As long as they continue to follow the sport, they'll learn. Unfortunately, a lot of them get caught in the WWE aspect and play black & white with no grays. Eventually you learn how to ignore those people.
it was a great performance, faultless. all you hipsters saying you watch boxing to learn the 'art of boxing' suggest you watch that one... It was a very good performance,but you still have to consider the quality of the opponent. Lemieux has power,but beyond that I'm not sure what his strengths are. The guy certainly can't parry a jab to save his life.
