Comments Thread For: Photos: Golovkin, Lemieux Go Face To Face in NYC

[_original_]

I think Lemieux is gonna shock everybody and spark out GGG in dos rounds.

[IR0NFIST]

To be honest, I think it's a step down in terms of skill level from Willie Monroe to David Lemieux. However, Lemieux is a far more dangerous match-up for GGG than Monroe was, simply because he actually has some concussive power.

GGG will get hit in this one, and it's going to be interesting to see how his chin holds up. I think GGG takes him out within 5 rounds, but Lemieux has game-changing power, if he pulls off the upset he'll be a God in Quebec and a rematch down the line could be worth the big bucks.

Fight SOG you Bum!

LMAO!

GGG ain't a bum but he is scared of SOG. His fans don't want to admit it, but GGG has the ULTIMATE RESPECT for SOG.

GGG doesn't need a catchweight for anyone else at 168, except Andre SOG Ward. His fans would rather play ****** and criticize Ward for not accepting the catchweight. LOL!

SOG has already exposed GGG, so he may as well move on to Kovalev. Kovalev is feeling himself right now and thinks he's ready for SOG.

Kov is a tougher fight anyway. SOG needs a tuneup at 175 then it should be on to the dude with the ******ist sounding accent ever.

[MarsinLeo]

He is a pound for pound dish for sure.

It's raining men!!

LMAO!

Keep your gayness to yourself. This is a boxing forum, not the LOGO channel.

Ggg is not going up to 168 for anyone right now but legit A siders. Hey its better than not going up at all, except CW tuneups vs bums

Why does Ward need a tune-up at 175? If less proven Ggg should go for Ward first at 168, why would the more proven Ward need a tune-up, I don't get it. And I don't get what he's waiting for. Ggg at least is headlining his 1st Ppv, selling tons of tickets, unifying, mando for Canelo/Cotto. Ward may well fight another bum on their undercard

I really don't think GGG is afraid of Ward, I believe he definitely wants an advantage over Ward and feels the lower weight will give that to him, but fear....nah. The only fighters that you can say were really feared was Mike Tyson, and even then guys still got in the ring with him, Max Baer was feared somewhat in his time, and to a certain extant George Forman. Nobody fears Ward, I mean Chad Dawson went down a full weight division because he was sure he could defeat Ward, Fighters don't fear him, GGG's looking for any advantage he can get. Not the same thing.

[ElMeroChingon]

This is what the fans ask for, this is what they're going to get.


Action.

Enjoy watching both fighters fight, Lemieux has come a long way, his fight against Rosado was impressive.

Your post is littered with contradiction and ignorance.

You say GGG will only move up to the full 168 limit if its against a "legit A Sider"... Andre Ward is the most legit "A Sider" in the 168 division. How can you not know that and call yourself a boxing fan?

Also what do you have to say about GGG being more than wiling to face Froch and Chavez at 168? Are they more "A SIDE" than SOG? Don't kid yourself.

Lastly, it would be wise for Andre Ward to take a tuneup fight at any division that he's never fought in. In this case he'd be fighting the best guy in the division in his first fight at the weight class.

Boxing history has proven that isn't a wise move. Even Floyd struggled in his first ever fight at 135 and 154. Shane Mosley struggled in his first fight at 147 back in the day.

Boxers need time to grow into a new weight class when they change weight divisions.

Kovalev has been at 175 all his life. Nobody would expect him to fight the #1 Cruiserweight in his very first fight in the weight class.

And GGG could have taken a tuneup at 168 if he would have agreed to face Andre at 168. I'm sure HBO would have aired GGG's tuneup. But this all null and void because GGG has shown he fears losing to Andre Ward. Fight will probably never happen on an even playing field. GGG knows he can't beat SOG in a fair fight.

Why would you need an advantage over someone if you confidently know that you can beat them fair and square?

GGG fears he will lose to Ward without an advantage. He made that clear by demanding a catchweight for Ward and ONLY Ward.

I guess you don't understand what A side means. It's not who's better, its who brings the most money and exposure. So no, Ward is not the A side vs Ggg duh. No **** Chavez and Froch were A side vs Ward, are you kidding me? Ward just fought on BET with 300k viewers, and will probably fight a bum on an undercard.

Well I guess Ggg doesn't need a tune-up to go up in weight and face Wards best scalp on his home turf. Funny that. And you're taking it against him lol.

So you think Ward is fighting a 175 tune-up like Fonfara next on that undercard?
