Comments Thread For: David Lemieux: I'd Love To Fight Gennady Golovkin!

[SkillspayBills]

Two of my very very favorite fighters. I just think GGG is a bit above Lemieux and I would give him the edge. Boy oh boy would it be fireworks.

[Hougigo]

Lemiux wants to fight GGG like LSC(unt) wants to fight Rigo.

We'll see after May.... if he still pops off about money, he better be fighting Canelo or cotto next (doubt the latter) because nobody else can get him more money

[Citizen Koba]

I wonder if Sanchez will make up an excuse to avoid Lemieux if this fight becomes imminent? I have a feeling this dude likes to run his mouth about how GGG will murder everyone he faces but secretly wants 154 pounders or 168 pounders to either move up or down, respectively. He is very dismissive about GGG moving up, which strikes me as odd considering how confident in GGG's abilities he claims to be.

Hmmm... regardless of what Sanchez wants or doesn't want, the Murray fight will remove the last relevent MW opponent of the Martinez era. After that there's only really prospects (amongst whom I include LeMieux) and guys who are either outgrowing or are willing to come up from 154 (which I suppose includes Cotto).

There's no real reason for GGG to avoid Lemieux tho. David's offense is decent and he impressed against Rosado but he simply doesn't have Golovkins ability to defend whilst keeping the pressure on and will be forced onto the back foot where he ain't so impressive. If the money's there, and it will be, this fight will probably be made - likely even towards the end of the year.

Like I said before,if a half dead and bloodied Gabriel rosado,was able to push back,and even wobble David,then GGG kills him.Davids going to come out swinging for the fences,and get caught by something big in the 1st 3 rounds,then its goodnight.

I think GGG's jab alone will give David trouble... probably won't go swinging for the fences coming in like everyone else

The evidence is GGG's career path.

Seriously? He's won 2 belts at 160 and defended them 18 times, in total. He's chasing fights with the other belt holders at 160, and fighting Murray, his number one challenger at - 160 - next.

I'd say that's conclusive evidence that GGG wants to unify his own division, like he says.

You would need to be very biased indeed to view it in any other way.

[kafkod]

Why should Cotto..he's not a MW.

and yet, he's the lineal mw champion of the world.

Apparently, no middleweight can fight for the lineal MW title untill Cotto retires.

Otherwise, that would be SO unfair on poor little Miguel.

[bronx7]

All the middle champs would make a voluntary against limited face first brawler who Rubio ko'd but he brings no $ to the table only in Canada so let's use rules you all throw at ggg he should move up to ltheavy fight kovalev or pascal Stevenson Canada super fights

[bronx7]

Please

I know you are dying for a good white fighter Lemieux not him. Lost to Rubio by ko then lost to alcine beat 7 bums then beat rosado coming off a few losses in a row shot not a middle ggg would kill him face first no d wild brawler so limited

[bronx7]

If some how Lemieux gets shot at GGG bet the farm on GGG. Any fighter Rubio can ko ggg would ko faster break him down pick apart his face first no head movement no D style. Wild brawler ggg picks his spots then when ready ko
