Comments Thread For: Hopkins, Lemieux: Golovkin Will Go Down in Eight

[2shameless]

Well GGG has only been past 8 round twice in his career. So if Lemieux can land that left hook early and get his respect, he might be able to tire him out and stop him late.

I hope Lemieux puts on a good show but he will need everything going his way to keep GGG off him. Highly unlikely!

how many times in the last 10 years have we seen fighters that are supposed to be monsters unstoppable unbeatable everyones scared of them they are already considered an all time great before fighting anyone get beat?

Huh?

No one knows what will happen till that bell rings.

Lemieux is hungry and wants to make a statement. No one is invincible, Dave will capitalize on whatever mishap golovkin makes!

War Lemieux!!

I am rooting for the underdog, the jab is very important when fighting GGG, because he is coming straight to you. He showed us that in his last fight. He can be out boxed, and with the power Lemieux has he could actually pull it off.

Buster Douglas can't be used eternally for every single underdog.

1. Douglas was bigger, taller and had considerable more reach than Tyson. Lemeiux looks small compared to GGG.

2. Douglas had extra motivation for the Tyson fight because his mother just died 3 weeks before the fight. He said he won the fight for his mother.

3. Tyson left his longtime trainer Kevin Rooney and had a lot going on outside of the ring.

People need to stop comparing every single underdog to Buster Douglas when the circumstances are no where near what Tyson and Douglas had going on.

+They had no ice in Tysons corner! You cant win fights without ice. You just cant.
But upsets happen often for different reasons. Lemieux is a guy who always can land a knockout blow.

lemieux will also be extra motivated if he wins this fight he becomes a mega star.golovkin could also be distracted by thinking about fighting the winner of canelo vs cotto and looking past lemieux.lemieux has serious power and that's always a threat it just cant be dismissed.

This, imagine if this was a jermain taylor kelly pavlik 1 fight

before bute lost to froch he was seen as unstopable. the odds were heavily in bute's favourite vs froch as well.


GGG could be another bute waiting to happen.

I like that bhop is backing Lemieux in this one but he's getting stomped
