    For Face Off type shows to really work, you need 2 dudes who really have a rivalry and don't like each other. Off the top of my head, I'll sat Klitchko and Haye had the best one.

    GGG and Lemieux seem pretty professional and cool with each other, and to top of it off, they barely speak English.

    I like both dudes, but this was a pretty subpar show. I'm still going to watch the fight...

      I don't think he was impressed. He was saying it was too easy, the way N'Dam was dropping. He didn't to be disrespectful and say outright that it was definitely that N'Dam just has a bad chin, but I think that's what he was trying to say. You got Quillin dropping this guy 6 times, and Lemieux dropping him 4 times. That is 10 knock downs vs the only two top 10 MW's he fought. It's clear that GGG is not impressed by N'Dam. He just did not want to say his honest opinion because he didn't want to be disrespectful, he kinda left it up in the air. But if you read between the lines, you could tell he really felt "that was too easy because you were not facing an opponent with a very good chin".

      11 knock downs from 2011-2015, that is just not good at all. That does not look like a good chin any way you slice it. That's like the amount of KD's Khan has suffered his entire boxing career, amateurs included.
      Yes, you can take it either way since that is what he said. Still, Lemieux is a bona fide KO artist. If anyone gets hit enough by Lemieux, they will get stung badly and if not the first time then eventually will be dropped.

      Same goes with GGG. A few fights ago GGG was hit and appeared to be off balance and came back with a punch that dropped his opponent. Again, looked off balance and didn't appear he could get enough on it. Scary stuff.

      They have different type KO power. Lemieux gets speed on his punches. GGG's is just heavier fisted.
