Is Lemieux the "Challenger" Golovkin was waiting for?

Andy Lee would beat Lemiux, So would Peter Quillin and Daniel Jacobs.

Then you're simply at fault for not seeing his improvements.

Best guys he beat are Fernando Guerrero and Gabriel Rosado. Guerrero is always getting KO'ed, even by journeyman Grady Brewer. Rosado was coming off two losses, and the fight prior was a big loss, 10-0, he didn't win a round. For me to see improvements in a fighter, I have to see him show the improvements against good fighters, not C fighters. Cotto showed he is really good against Delvin and Martinez, but does it mean he now beats Mayweather, Trout, Pacquiao? I'm not a fickle fan that gets excited by someone beating up on journeymen.

Rosado is certainly on the level or better then the guys he lost to and he looked considerably better. His improvements are glaring. you're being fickle whether you think it or not.

He has improved, but it is more maturity and dedication. He still has many holes in his game, but he sure is fun to watch.

David gets taken out in 4 rounds or less. A half dead,bloody rosado,who is not a big puncher by any stretch of the imagination,managed to back lemieux up,and even wobble him. Golovkin touches him,and David ends up flying out of the ring. If he comes in against ggg,swinging for the fences,with those haymakers,and he's going to eat a monstrous counter.

Very good fighter

Improved a lot

Good mindset judging by his interviews

I wanna see this fight

If lemiux beats ndam for IBF could be unification fight. But I heard on boxing radio show lemiux isn't gonna go for IBF for some reason

Do you know what fickle means? It doesn't seem so. I have never had a different opinion on Rosado or Lemieux.

Fickle: changing frequently, especially as regards one's loyalties, interests, or affection.

I always saw Rosado a C fighter pre and post GGG. Lemieux just became a hot topic for beating Rosaod.

[Loque-san]

Lemieux is getting way too much hype for beating gatekeeper Rosado. He should face a good fighter (N'dam, Jacobs, etc.), that would allow us to see how much he has improved and if he should be considered as a serious threat to Golovkin.

Jacobs would beat him.

[Loque-san]

Jacobs would beat him.

I wanna see it though. Both fighters are with Golden Boy. Winner moves on to bigger and better things.

What's going on with Jacobs by the way? I haven't heard anything about him since he beat Fletcher, he should be more active.
