Why Lemieux vs Quillin?

[dan_cov]

What you mean why he just won the WBO/NABO belt he pretty much now in line for Kid Chocolate world title belt

Oh I see. I thought Jacobs was mandatory.
I can never keep up with these belts & who is mandatory etc, does my head in.

David Lemieux in on Curtis Stevens level. So it's not much of change from GGG's recent opposition.

Geale is a top MW.

People just don't like Quillin and want to see him get KO'd. If they ever fight and Quillin beats him the same people will tell you that Lemieux wasn't any good to begin with and Quillin needs to step up and fight someone.

I thought I heard Jim ask if he wanted to fight winner of Jacobs v chocolate.

Is there any truth that this fight is in works? Anyone know or gear that too?

Macklin and Stevens are two guys Kid Undercard could have fought but didn't. He's using the if the money is right excuse for Danny Jacobs and will do the same for Lemieux. It would be more fun to see Lemieux knock Kid out then unify with Golovkin but we all know Quillin is the official babysitter for that WBO belt until Canelo moves up. TS is dumb.

I think he is far better than Stevens certainly a lot riskier fight due to his power.
Stevens is a good puncher but Lemieux is a devastating puncher.

He is strong, seems durable and can hit like a truck. I think their styles would provide a belter for as long as it lasted. Neither guys taking a backwards step.

Geale is quite skilled he just hasn't the power & his chin is very shaky to say the least. He may look good for a few rounds with his in-out jerky style but GGG is going to hit him at some point.

I just can't get excited for that fight, GGG is going to brutalise Geale. I'd be very surprised if Geale made it past 3 or 4.

Is this your first Lemieux fight? The guy isn't good at all. All he has is early fight power and Guerrero has a notorious horrible chin. People saying Lemieux vs Quillin are only recognizing that Quillin isn't that good himself.

And LOL - Geale's chin is less sturdy than Lemieux'??? This has to be your first Lemieux fight.

Golovkin would brutalize Lemieux even faster. The guy is the ortiz of 160 but without any decent wins. He hates getting hit and after 6 rounds and punching himself out, he will easily fold.

Its hard to get the alcine fight out my mind, he got outboxed by alcine and his "devastating'' power didnt help him out

Macklin destroyed Alcine in one round after Alcine beat Lemieux.

I think the power is nearly identical with Stevens. Styles are a lot differernt.
