    How good is Lemieux?

    I've watched a few of his fights and he's solid but how will he fare against better fighters?
    Predictions please.

    Explosive power, good boxing skills, great KO % although its padded. He is pretty short for a MW but can serve him well for taller fighters as he is a good body puncher. I don't think he will do good against elite opposition at this very moment though. Martinez kills him.

      He's definitely a dangerous puncher, but we won't know for sure whether he's world-class until he fights a top ten middleweight like Sturm, Golovkin, or Pirog.

      I think he'd beat Sylvester and Rubio.

        Pirog vs Lemieux... I really like the sound of that fight.

          I really like him, but feel like he might have been getting undermatched up to this point. I am tentatively excited about his future though. I wonder if he could make 154lbs?

              I want to see him against someone with very good foot movement and defense, Lemieux sure has plenty of power though and seems to be good at getting inside on opponents be them limited at this time.

                I think Golovkin is better than Lemieux. To me, his power is unproved because he never faced a elite fighter yet, but he has decent boxing skills and because he has short arms, he can punch with good power on the inside. I'm not sold on him yet, but with Russ Amber as a coach, he can go pretty far...

                    in all fairness homey Golovkin and Pirog should fight a top 10 themself.
