    Lemieux is a B+ fighter who is still young. Of course once Golovkin beat him he was all of a sudden a bum because we all know GGG can't get credit for any win unless it's against Ward.

      I can see each taking a stay busy fight in spring then meeting up in the summer, two former world Champs.

        You meant to the top fighters in the MW division could learn a thing or two from Lemieux.

        Because the list of top fighters have either overtly dismissed fighting GGG (Cotto, Floyd, Saunders), or made moves to appear to want to fight, while also all but eneuring it won't happen by using timing, money, or flat out goofy offers (Lara, Ward, Canelo, Jacob, Quillin), or have said they are not ready yet--meaning GGG isn't old enough yet (Eubanks, Andrade and Saunders again).

        And this does include those who found a way out of fighting GGG in the past, Martinez for example.

        It's funny how GGG haters buy this junk up too. As if calling someone's name is all it takes to make a fight, and suddenly team GGG can just make it happen.

        Every one of these fighters have teams that know how to kill the possibility of a fight behind the scenes.

          How the heck is Lemieux gonna make 155.

          You know how pathetic it'd look for Canelo to take on the loser of the GGG v. Lemieux matchup. Remember, GB and K2 sold that fight as a tourney. They pounded the media with the idea the winner of GGG v Lemieux would fight winner of Cotto/Canelo.

          And then the winner fights the loser. That's a prove move there. A+ indeed.

          Funny crap is if Lemieux won, we'd have to watch GGG beat him again. Naw, Canelo better play it safe.

            Oscar clearly "sacrificed" Lemieux.

            Lemieux is young and he may "rebuild" his Canadian public support.

              Lee-Lemieux isn't a bad fight.

                Solid points I just don't understand who's an A+ guy on their radar. Unless Tureano Johnson or Michel Soro are considered A+ to them idk who they even got in mind here is what I'm struggling with.

                  There are no A/A+ opponents at MW other than Golovkin and Canelo. Lemiuex is not even an A fighter himself.

                    Lol I have a strong feeling this is a troll account trying to make GGG fans look bad. At the same time, there are actual GGG who have said this so I would not be surprised if you are legit.

                    And no, it wasn't once Golovkin beat him, it was after Rubio TKO'ed him and he immediately preceeded that with getting outboxed by Alcine.

                      Good fight for him would be Lee, BJS or Eubank jr.... that would help the american audience get to know these fighters as well.

                      Eubank want the BJS or Jacob fight so don't expect him to take this fight but it would be a great experience for him.
