    After he won his title Oscar wanted Lemiuex to defend his title against a non-existent challenger. Oscar's plan was for Lemiuex to defend, Canelo to beat Cotto & then Canelo v. Lemiuex unification bout. And then Canelo vs. GGG for the MW unification/lineal title. Not a bad plan but HBO told ODLH they aren't paying for Lemiuex vs winner of IBF eliminator and Lemiuex would be back fighting on a cable channel nobody can find. HBO desperately needed GGG in vs a credible opponent and Lemiuex is that guy for now.
    HBO can't force the fight IMO, Lemiuex can milk that belt in canada if he and his team wanted to, am sure HBO paid through their nose to make this fight happen but i wouldn't go with "Force"

      Lemieux stepped up as a MAN

      Most fighters would have avoided GGG and the tough fight and a sure loss. Danny Garcia-Kell Brook-DeGale-Abraham-Santa Cruz-Cotto-Stevenson-Wilder all seem scared to fight the tough fights as a true champion. Champions need Guts and balls to Honor and respect their Championship Belt. Lemieux stepped up as a man with honor. Screw the rest of those silk panty nylon hose fraud champions.

        If everyone is supposedly ducking GG, it seems there's quite a few people is willing to fight him.

        Lemiuex has a puncher's chance but we saw Rubio break him down so GG shouldn't have a problem doing the same.

          I always admired fighters that do not duck, Challenges and Lemiuex Definitely has my out most respect for stepping up to the plate when he didn't have to, but have the heart to fight the best even when he is a decided huge under dog.
