Centeno just had a solid win at 160 so he's clearly the better option than an inactive Kirkland whose last fight was a brutal loss at 155. Lemieux should be doing what it takes to make the Saunders fight though

According to the Montreal Journal
Lemi is a truly disgusting boxer and shouldn't be supported by any one.
He's been offered a chance to fight BJS for a World Title on December 9th but instead he wants to fight bums until September 2018 just incase Canelo beats GGG in May and he will get a PPV fight in September.
Guys like Lemi are everything wrong with Boxing...playing it safe then truly challenging yourself.
