Is Lemieux the "Challenger" Golovkin was waiting for?

Lemiuex Punches Harder Than GGG

After comparing Lemiuex and GGG's performances against Rosado. It's clear that Lemiuex is the harder puncher. Lemiuex was able to drop and rock Rosado, where Golovkin couldn't. And it was just an overall more dramatic victory for Lemiuex.

In terms of styles, Lemiuex would be favored also. Golovkin has trouble with people who constantly attack him. And we all know how relentless Lemiuex is when he's in that ring.

So, is GGG, against such a raw puncher.

Lemieux has faced World level opposition in Rosado and Guerrero. By world level I don't mean those two are world class, but guys who are in the mix sort of thing. For a prospect Lemeiux is tested.

Rubio's pathetic showing doesn't make him a bum and losing to him as a prospect isn't all so bad.

Alcine is a former World Champion.

Alcine ain't anything and Rubio is years past his best. Come off it now.

GGG is far superior and his opponents in grade, macklin and Murray are far superior to lem.

This would be an interesting bout...

Lemieux is a dangerous fighter right now...confident, strong, & aggressive I believe he would pose a legitimate threat to Golovkin...He would probably be the most complete opponent GGG has faced to date & thats including Martin Murray...

That being said...I would favor Golovkin to beat Lemieux if they were to meet in the near future...With David's style, durability will most certainly become an issue & he has shown past vulnerabilities in that area...

Rosado was on survival mode from the start , he did try and win vs Lem which opened him up to more bombs , also GGG had no trouble with anyone so far , so not sure where are you making this s***t up.
i hope the fight gets made and you get your dream odds (because GGG going to be 7-1 favored) and you bet heavy on lem (which i know you wont , because you are just trying to bash ggg , and dont really believe lem is the fav)

Prior to Rosado, think I only ever saw Lemieux get taken into deep waters and drowned by Rubio. But that looked to me like a classic case of too ****y plus too much too fast equals crash and burn.

Has Lemieux matured? Can he box intelligently all the rounds? Has he developed the stamina to do what he needs to do immediately at any given moment all the way til the end of rounds 12?

Because he looks to me as if he has a speed advantage over Golovkin and if he could make that the dominant factor for all of the 12 rounds, maybe be could sc**** up a decision.

But if he gets tired or impatient or makes mistakes or succumbs to passion at any time, Gennady catches and makes short work of him.

tl;dr?

Lemieux is goodboy.

so lemieux is still given less than a 10-1 chance haha

[John Barron]

lemieux has a puncher's chance so there's that. though he is still a weak chinned fighter that moves forward, a feast for GGG.

[Pigeons]

Lemieux is a bum. Every notable guy he has beaten, Quillin had already beaten first. On top of that Lemieux has been punched out by Rubio and outboxed by Alcine. Lemieux is a bum, but at least he's not a coward like Ducklovkin.

So he is not a coward for fighting a coward?
