[Dale Cardon]

Unbeaten middleweight prospect David Lemieux of Canada told BoxingScene.com that he believes southpaw WBC "emeritus" champion, Sergio Martinez, of Argentina "would be no problem for me."

I honestly think he has pretty good chance against Sergio Martinez. Most of his fights were early round KO wins and it means this guy can punch. you can't just ignore this young man with a record of 25wins and 24 of which are KOs with no loss.

I still remember his first round KO wins against Elvin Ayala and Hector Camacho.

He looks tough. Maybe he'll get that chin tested Friday and then who know he might be that guy. He surely aint just woofin because he's lined up for a show and tell soon.

youre some sort of real wild idiot if you think that

We'll see who's the real idiot when/if this fight happens!

"I believe that I would break Martinez down and then I would look for an opportunity for a knockout," said the 22-year-old Lemieux, who is 25-0, with 24 knockouts.

Did he smile when he said that?

I dont think its that outrageous of a statement. Lemieux stylistically is a bad matchup for Martinez.

I dont want to fully judge Lemieux until I see how he does against Rubio(I hope hes not overlooking Rubio), but if he destroys Rubio like he has his other opponents I just might favor him over Martinez.

Reminds of when Andy was talking about a big HBO fight against Pavlik in the weeks before his ESPN fight with Brian Vera. We know how this turned out for him. Rubio is better then Vera, lets hope Lemieux is starter.

We'll get to see it if Rubio lands something good on the chin. At this point Lemieux has not fought any top fighters to be making such claims.

My sentiments exactly!

You're kidding right?...Lemieux has fought no one noteworthy in his career as of yet, from what I've seen of him, it's Martinez that would be a stylistic nightmare for Lemieux and not the other way around. Martinez is just too fast on his feet for Lemieux (who's really just a plodder), it's ****** for him to even mention someone of Martinez's caliber just yet.

This is the same thing as Valero claiming that he could have beaten Manny Pacquiao.
