They coming for you, Kev.

Red K for having Son of Boredom as your AVI

Fighting Alcine & Rubio's leftovers smh. Lemieux is tailor made for GGG, he has no defense or punch resistance. He was getting rocked a bunch and nailed by wild telegraphed shots from Alcine, made Alcine look like Roy Jones Jr. lmao.


GGG fans already trying to hype up Lemieux.

Yup, what else is new!

[deanrw]

How much coke did they give Oscar to sign off on this?

My guess is Lemieux pushed the issue. I saw an interview where he was saying he wanted a big fight, and GGG was the fight he wanted. Even though he will lose I like his attitude.

Personally I love this fight, and think it's 100% guaranteed entertainment. How can anyone complain about this? Lemieux lost to Rubio, but the guy is only 26 years old. He got beat as a baby who was still learning. Against Guerrero, Rosado and N'Dam he's looked like an absolute destroyer. He definitely has the power to change the fight at any moment. Sure, I favor GGG too, but if anyone's going to beat him, it could be Lemieux because of that unreal power.

LOL well i guess broner was a baby when maidana beat him too.. didnt stop him from getting crucified by critics though

Lemieux actually has a fanbase in Canada, at least. Ward only has the select few pathetic GGG haters here in the states. You 300 guys aren't going to merit him being on PPV.

If HBO can sell Pacquiao vs. Algeri, they can definitely sell GGG vs. Ward! If they can't, GGG needs to call Haymon ASAP!

[elishua F]

let me guess, -Kev-...the only acceptable fights for GGG are Ward or Lara? The former last fought at 172 and brings little in the way of marketability or revenue to the table. Also, he once made Chad Dawson drop down a full weight class because he believed he was the A side fighter. Yet he's not willing to drop at all for GGG, who is clearly the one with more fan support now? Hypocrite, much? Lara is with Haymon, who won't ever do business with HBO, so all of his trash talking is equivalent to talking **** on the internet, knowing that you'll never have to back it up.

The mere fact that you have to cling to the idea of these two guys being the only acceptable opponents for GGG proves that you think he's an elite fighter. If it's not good enough that he fight another world champion coming off several impressive victories...you're just bitter because for some reason you don't like Gennady. Well, guess what...most boxing fans DO.

wrong, dawson was actually the one who called out ward and said he could drop to 168 .. of course it was only afterwards the weight was a problem

Explain to me how Lem isn't a good match? He is easily top 5 in the division, and the only one ranked that high willing to fight GGG at the moment. I would put him on par with Quillin and Jacobs in terms of quality.

So it is a bad match because GGG will likely KO him?
So we punish guys for being too good in their weight class, and accuse them of ducking the best guy the next weight division up now? You guys need a vacation and also need to get laid, your priorities are all ****ed up. Your hatred for GGG is stronger than your interest in boxing at this point.

It will be an exciting, championship level fight. The only complaint that makes sense to me is it being PPV.

The consensus here seems to be GGG is going to kill him but he's finally getting another champion to unify with him....sooooo

[sirron000]

Black boxing fans hate on GGG, not all, but most. Fact

Your confusing hate with knowing a hype job
