Comments Thread For: Lemieux: I Am Absolutely Ready For Golovkin

[No Tomorrow]

I don't consider Lemieux or Jacobs to be more than okay wins. Quillin, though, especially after he has spanked Jacobs, will be the best possible win for Golovkin to get at middleweight. Canelo and Cotto are good for name values.

If Golovkin beats every one you mentioned. People will still say GGG is "overrated" and needs to fight Ward to prove his value

That's if Quillin can still make 160. I wouldn't be surprised if the Jacobs fight is contested above the MW limit.

Golovkin's uppercuts are Foreman-esque in power.

Look for Lemieux to get over aggressive, swing too widely, lose stamina and be stopped via a merciless TKO

Then look for posters to say how much Lemieux ****** and that Golovkin needs to fight Ward to prove himself. And that if GGG gets matched up with the winner of Jacobs-Quillin and wins that fight as well then look for that win to be discredited and ****ted on as well.

This post doesn't make sense because people already said David has no chance anyway, the best he can do is make it a thriller but realistically he has no chance. He is overmatched in every department and even his best asset, power, is still second to Little G.

Golovkin is damn good and he will not be challenged at 160. That much is clear.

Have we even seen how GGG responds to relentless pressure from a power puncher who can fight?

This fight will be much more competitive than most people think. The critics are underrating Lemieux so that GGG wont get any credit either way. If GGG blasts him away, they'll say Lemieux wasnt that good to begin with. If GGG struggles with him or possibly loses, they'll say GGG got exposed and/or beaten by a lesser opponent.

This fight has fireworks written all over it and I will be attending live.

Lee knocked Quillin down and Quillin was gun shy for the rest of the fight. He only escaped with a draw due to a knockdown that was not a real knockdown. Quillin actually lost that fight. GGG would end Quillin's career in two rounds, it would not even be close to a good fight. But I doubt we will ever see Quillin in the ring with Golovkin as he will most likely move to LHW soon.

People were saying that Stevens would knock GGG out and that Golovkin had never faced a fighter with that kind of power. Look how that worked out. Lemieux is nowhere close to the skill level that Golovkin is at. He throws wild, wide, power punches that will be simple for GGG to avoid and to counter with his own deadly short punch power. EVERY shot Golovkin hits someone with is capable of ending the fight. Lemieux does not have that skill or accuracy. I doubt Lemieux will be able to land many quality power shots on GGG as Golovkin will pick them off with his jabs or let them slip past him as he usually does.

Lemieux will quickly find himself way out of his league and people will be shocked at how easily Golovkin handles this fight.

I just want to see how GGG handles LeMule's power. He will land something flush at some point during the fight

[Basco]

GGG deserves respect for taking this fight. Yes, I believe Lemieux is over matched but you have to admit Lemieux has a punchers chance and GGG knows it!

I think Lemieux's best chance is to bring a calculated measured game-plan.

The more aggressive he gets then the easier the fight becomes for Golovkin

You are correct, none of those are good enough. Waste of time until he fights challenges. Fact is 160 is a weak division.
