Comments Thread For: Lemieux's Ex-Promoter Says He is 'Not Ready' For GGG

[13777]

Lemieux holds a belt, so he is ready. Just like Wilder, if you are a champ with a strap then you need to fight anyone. If you are good enough to win a title then no more hiding. I'm glad Lemieux stepped up.

This.

Vacate your belt if you're not ready. See Quillin vs Korobov

This is common knowledge so who cares... Golovkin Wins then he fights Lee next in late 2015 or early 2016, hopefully the WBO allows this as Saunders has been putting off the fight( I know injury but still) then Golovkin fights the Cotto/ Nelo winner for the undisputed Middleweight the Title in mid-2016.

If only boxing would work like that. It doesn't and it never will given the current state of affairs.

How is it, when floyd mayweather was fighting champions, it was looked down upon, because the champion wasnt really considered a champion, but because its lil g, its supposed to be a big thing? Nope im going by alot of you guys view that this guy was cherry-picked and he's a can. Remember this is what was said about floyds competition, has anything changed? This was alot of you guys view then, so it applies now. Didnt this guy get beat by RUBIO? lol, rubio beat this guy and now he's competition for lil g.

step in the right direction in a very weak division.

Shouldnt be PPV

I think Michel is just cosigning the popular opinion. And its sellable cuz he gots power & a title so with a solid GGG fanbase it can be hyped as a meeting of equals even though everyone who follows boxing knows thats not the case.

This is not a PPV fight

I'll watch the fight next week. Lemieux is over matched. Over weight at the 30 day weigh in for a fight of this magnitude. Won't go past 7 rounds probably 5 rounds at most. I would buy this fight only if HBO charged $10 for the fight then yeah I guess I would.

That's a no brainer, but I have said this before Lemeiux is being used to take something out of GGG if not actually beat him for Canelo. David is save a hoe in this scenario. Still an epic fight, but from the point of view of Lehitlikea"mule" it would be better to take a couple of defenses under his belt.

If he's not ready when exactly is he supposed to be ready?

Lemieux is a top fighter with some sick power. It doesn't matter if they fight today or a couple of years from now Lemieux will always just have a puncher's chance. Lemieux vs GGG is at the moment the best match-up in the middleweight division.

BTW at 160 Lemieux would beat both Cotto and Canelo.

In all fairness, few are ready for a GGG fight

Those who fight him almost all say he is special. Those who won't make excuses. As if it wasn't GGG, everyone wouldn't love to take his zero. Someone who is arguably two division above him is the one who calls him out, and everyone is acting that guy is showing he is great for doing so.

GGG has a reputation for a reason. If Cotto, Canelo, Floyd, etc. all thought he was an easy mark, they'd jump in front of each other.

They don't. The only two guy who have really bring nothing, and they'd both depend on running and holding their way to victory.
