No he didn't. Dawson was drained and out of his division, Rodriguez didn't make weight and Smith was a complete bum. Not one of them was relevant.

If Lemieux stays in the inside and exchanges it will be an exciting fight. GGG doesn't prefer inside chess and exchanges. So it will have to be a mixture of the Stevens and Monroe Jr. bout. Stevens was by far the only opponent to prove the inside game vs. GGG, and it was apparent that Stevens was going for his own KO, however in that process, he receives too much damage. I think what really slowed down Stevens has the body shots. Stevens vs GGG was a more intelligent version than the Canelo vs. Kirkland bout as Stevens timed himself.

The only reason Stevens lasted as long as he did was because GGG wanted to punish him for being disrespectful. GGG wanted to beat him up, not just beat him. And that is exactly what he did. If Golovkin had wanted to end the fight, he could have done so at any time after the knockdown. But he wanted Stevens to either quit or the fight be stopped by his corner. There was not a chance that Golovkin would have knocked him out before the last round.

As for Lemieux, he is not an inside fighter. His big power shots come from way out in left field and will never make contact with GGG. And you can ask Murray about Golovkin's inside game.

So we get a road to instead of a 24/7 and no real face off?
Well damn...

The usual suspects are out to portray this as a mismatch but Lemieux is is tough challenger.
