Let me ask thi question, what would it take either man to do to impress you greatly?

Lemieux just has to win to impress me, of course.

As for Gennady, a stoppage under 4 rounds will impress me greatly!

[SplitSecond]

Hell yeah, Fury's training with a strength and conditioning coach for the first time in his career for this fight. Klitschko's DEAD MEAT!

I'm curious as to what exactly these fighters are put through in the swimming pool, all of them seem to hate it and talk like it's hell on earth.

i want to see a boxing exhibition from gennady, not a war. maybe i'm in the minority on that, but i'd really like to see what he is capable of in that regard. however, if it does become a war, i'll be closely monitoring how he handles it when lemieux is in his chest

I want to see Golovkin prove that he can avoid getting tagged when he wants to. He was getting hit a lot against Murray and Monroe and people claimed that it was because he didn't respect their power.

It's the kiss of death when an analyst says that before a fight

[BrometheusBob.]

Mexicans are apparently pretty split on the matter

Kellerman will say it then start talking about how GGG reminds him of Joe Louis.

Practically guaranteed because Kellerman commentates like a kid in the candy store when he watches boxing.

Got hit a lot by Murray? What fight were you watching? Murray landed 131 out of 469 punches over 11 rounds. That's just barely more than 10 punches per round. Mayweather landed more punches on Pacman, 148 over 12 rounds, when they fought and Floyd is not exactly a punching machine.

By the way... the average punches landed in a MW fight is 17.4/round. You can look at the chart below for GGG's average. Those stats were good up to the Murray fight.
