      Another move forward for Lemieux, they are bringing him on the right way I think with gradual step ups. Maybe 3-4 more step ups and he could be ready for a title shot if everything goes well.

          Kinda weird. WBC eliminator against Rubio. That seems to mean they are eventually going for a shot against the Williams/Martinez winner. Could they be moving him from too slow to too fast?

              If they give him a shot after right after a potential Rubio win its too fast but he is starting to step up and is still looking good so they don't need him to have a dozen more fights if he keeps winning before they give him a shot.

                  Yeah he might be ready by next Summer. They seems to be accelerating his quality of opposition now. That will silence some critics.

                          Great step up.

                          He should go some rounds.

                          Interesting to see how he does compared to Pavlik.

                          He could make a hell of statement, if he can beat him in similar or better fashion.

                                      wow thats a huge step up. I think they shld take it a little slower with Lemieux.

                                      He is very promising but doesnt look close to a world beater yet
