Canelo will fight Lemieux at some point during the next few years. Why is Canelo held above everyone else when it comes to opponents? Should he fight Jacob's, GGG, Andrade, Charlo, Callum Smith in a row?
Meanwhile other dudes fight one good opponent every 18 months and people are content with it.
Becuase lemieux is damaged goods already. GGG stopped him. He's fighting ggg's leftovers. If you don't understand that, then boxing may not be for you.
He was ko'd before GGG yet he wasnt damaged goods then?
This is pathetic. seems like dazn is a scam no good fights only showcase fights where the in house fighter looks good and there is zero risk involved.
Not according to this.

Lemieux has had weight problems all the way back when he was with Russ Amber.
Russ let him go because they were butting heads over training and lack of dedication from Lemieux. He should have listened. Maybe he would have learned some of the finer points of boxing by now.

lemieux was good enough even know that he was rubios leftovers, lol... but only ggg ruins fighters lol... rubio actually had the balls to go toe to toe with lemieux...
Why is Lemiuex a bad fight for Canelo??? Its one of GGG's top 3 wins..probably his 2nd best win matter of fact
I think it is given the context.
Canelo just had his "easy fight" after the tough win. Cinco de Mayo is a weekend we as fans look forward to for big fights. Jacobs and GGG are both available and either would be the kind of fight we as boxing fans expect on that weekend. Lemeuix already lost to GGG and lost to Saunders (after he lost to GGG and the fight wasn't close), who is also a top 4 MW along with them and Charlo.
There are 3 opponents (4 if Saunders wasn't suspended) boxing fans want to see Canelo face more than Lemueix at MW. That's why the fight isn't considered a good one.

The thing with DAZN is I don't think Boxing is going to be their "anchor" more so than if and when the NFL / NBA come into play with their service. They're about close on their deal with MLB which will be big for them, but never did I think Boxing was going to be their LEADING sport for the app. We gotta give it some time just like we did with the PBC who had the entire industry skeptical. Three years later they strike a huge deal with FOX. In a couple of years if DAZN hasn't secured the other major sports in the US THEN I'd say they're probably *****ed.
Yes, they definitely get time to develop.
I can't see NBA or NFL going to DAZN and off of regular TV. MLB would help but that is becoming a niche sport in the US that doesn't seem to appeal much to the younger generation. Would that also mess up their MLB Network situation?
I would think they'd invest in e sports and x games style sports that the "app" generation is heavily involved with.
From a business perspective, The next Canelo fight will tell us how much power/control DAZN gave up to GBP/ODH to sign Canelo. I don't think DAZN would be ok with a Canelo/Lemuix in house 168lb fight with Jacobs out there. Fishnets clearly wants to make an in house fight so GBP controls everything and makes big money.
Will be watching closely. If the rumors of DAZN not selling well are true then no way DAZN execs can allow ODH to choose Canelo's next opponent.

I'd be curious to actually know the conditions of his so called contract with DAZN.
DAZN are just trying to hype everything with their advertising, I doubt any of it is as per advertised.
Lemieux is one of Golovkins top 3 wins. WOW proper amazing............
:rofl:
Lemieux was too 5 P4P and the second hardest puncher in boxing until gennady ruined him. Now he is passing out in weigh ins and his life is on rock bottom.
