You're not revealing anything. Most people already know this and the odds reflect that.

How is coming in .4 of a pound more than GGG having trouble making 160

Another GGG fan that's a boxing newbie (eyes rolling). Outside of his heavyweight division, the fighters' weights are always gonna be relatively close. Its a middleweight fight. The division is 155-160. So everybo9is gonna be within 5lbs of each other. But the means ans stress they put on their bodies to make that weight can be very different. And often times, a guy stripping down butt ass naked at the weigh-in is an indicator that he had difficulties making weight. Now IMO, weight drain has been an overused term since Pacquiao-DLH. But often times, if a guy struggled to make weight. He's not gonna be at his best on fight night. Personally, I don't think it mattets much here. Lemieux is a bum and is gonna get starched.

Did you go on a bender?

And yea, GGG does weigh around 171, as does JR.MW Lara and Andrade and (Almost a MW) Canelo-Mr. Can I create a 155 division, please.

Didn't Little G duck these 2 like he did Ward? Lara called him out for 3 years.

You turn that against the GGG fan, but Dude was defending Lemieux wasn't he.

Damn son, you have a weird sense of time.

No, he didn't duck any of them.

Just because someone calls someone's name doesn't mean they automatically deserve the fight.

If so, Floyd has been ducking GGG, Thurman, Khan, etc.

Besides, GGG had offered Ward a chance. He wasn't about to give up big fights to fight MR. Lawsuit.

As for Lara, dude is a JR.MW, offering little to make GGG want to knock his pants off.

Lara called Canelo out. Yap, yap, yap. Then ran all night. He lost.

You don't just get to yap your way into big fight after big fight.

Lara doesn't belong in the same sentence as GGG.

Andrade again, what's he fight once a year. Was stripped of his belt. But he wants to jump up to MW and automatically get the MW champ.

Tell dude to come up to MW, fight some guys, and maybe he'll get skunked by GGG.

I like Lemieux a bit better than most but his calling card is explosive power in both hands which can be very effective, but when you break both guys down Golovkin has most of the advantages and is clearly the much more sound boxer.

However, if Golovkin goes in there to try and box off the back foot he will probably not do well, but as long as he is aggressive doing what he does best it is highly likely he gets Lemieux first.

That is really the big thing to look for early if Lemieux can make Golovkin back up, if he can do that he can really be in the fight. Once Lemieux starts falling back it is pretty much game over for him.

Why is the weigh in 2 days earlier than the fight? Isn't suppose to be the day before? Little G must weigh in the 170s..

Maybe it's the good herb on this Friday afternoon, but your avatar has me cracking up, man.

Stevens back GGG up, didn't work out to well. GGG can back up, he is studying his opponents when he does this. He is very intelligent fighter. Underrated defense.

After almost 400 fights, I think Golovkin could fight off his back foot, sideways or turning in circles if that is what is needed in a fight. I doubt that Lemieux has anything to bring that GGG has not seen many times before. And if Lemieux tries one of his haymakers from the outfield, he will be out cold before the punch makes it half way.

If Lemieux wants to last more than a few rounds, he will have to be very careful. He has never been in the ring with anyone who has close to the skills of Golovkin. If he tries those haymakers, he's done.

I don't know what it is with the so called boxing fans on this board... so few of them seem to really know anything about the sport. They seem to think that the first person to hit Golovkin hard will turn him into a scared little girl. Damn will they be shocked when he knocks Lemmy's head off.

What is over rated around here is the boxing intelligence of the posters. Many think GGG is nothing but a puncher and see nothing else in his game. So sad to be so blind about the sport they claim to love so much.
