Well since Lara is currently 154 pounder he'll have to travel up to 160 as a challenger.
(I doubt he'll get any credit after beating him)
Does that mean GGG gets a shot at Miguel too?
It would be fun for the first 4 rounds until lemieux's chin gives out. Before the fight we'd get about 100s of GGG fans hype Lemieux up. After the fight they would put GGG in p4p top5 based on the win
It would be fun for the first 4 rounds until lemieux's chin gives out. Before the fight we'd get about 100 threads about GGG not being able to fight backwards/having bad defence/never being in the with a hard hitting fighter. After the fight lemieux would just be a bum who'd already been stopped by rubio,and how GGG would get exposed against fighter xyz.
But ggg does have bad defense, cant fight backing up,etc. The problem is lemieux has defensive flaws himself and his chin has been cracked before. If lemieux tightens up his defense learns to roll with punches and adds more wrinkles to his game/becomes more versatile. He would be a real threat to ggg and anyone in the division. Lemieux is not only a hard puncher he is a precision puncher. He knows when and how to properly place shots which makes him more dangerous. I would first though like to see him in with fighters like jacobs and kid chocolate before he faces ggg.
This will give me an idea about how well he takes a punch now and if his overall game has improved. His ability to make adjustments in the fight with ggg will be crucial. If he can do that he can win and may even shock some people. GGG is more hype than substance has many flaws and is one dimensional.Simply put hes a hype job,he would have never been a champ in haglers era. Marvin would have chewed him up and spit him out. He wouldn't have even gotten past the likes of hamsho, mugabi, roldan or fully obel in my opinion. He is reaping the accolades and rewards from fighting in a very weak MW era.
