Comments Thread For: David Lemieux, Glen Tapia To Fight On Canelo-Khan PPV Card

[steeve steel]

Kirkland vs Lemieux, now that would have been interesting!...

exactly these idiots still don't get it.

So it's ok to miss weight just as long as he isn't draining someone,? Lemuix is a coward that refused to rematch Rubio

[HeroBando]

He was a ticket seller in New Jersey though.

He would be if he was any good. His fans didn't like what they saw vs Kirkland and Soro. Remember Fernando Guerrero could sell some tickets locally before he started getting koed left and right

I hope Lemieux makes weight this time. Its good that Tapia moves up to 160 hes to big for 154.

The crown ***el of GGG's resume couldn't even make weight in his last fight and now is an undercard fighter.....

he likely didnt even try to make weight. it was vs a guy they pulled out of retirement. de lo rosa was suspended for accepting terms to still fight. no idea what suspending a guy that likely will never fight again does.

You might not agree with what he's doing but it's not hypocrisy at all. He criticizes Canelo for making middleweights come down (and possibly draining themselves) to fight for his belt. He can't really be hypocritical in this case bc he doesn't hold a belt but the closest example would be him moving up to 168 but then telling the guy at 168 to come in at a catchweight.

Him fighting a guy coming up has nothing to do with catchweight, Tapia said he got KO'd bc he killed himself to make 154, so he was coming up anyway. And the catchweight he had with De La Rosa was last minute bc he couldn't make weight. Also it's more like what Canelo did vs Angulo and Lara (over the limit catchweight), not a draining catchweight.

Try re-reading my post, theres not one indication of whether or not I agree or disagree with Cotto, Canelo, or Lemieux. It's hypocrisy because Tapia is not a middleweight yet, he is fighting at the weight for the first time and Lemieux who is considered a top middleweight is going to fight him. There are a number of legit middleweights available for Lemieux to fight, as well as he has been struggling to make 160 and instead of moving up he is going to squeez down to fight a Jr Middleweight. Who does that sound like?

Tapia might end up in the hospital again.

Why don't you try re-reading my post, there not one indication where I ever say you agree or disagree with what Cotto or Canelo is doing. However you do call Lemieux a hypocrite, and I said "you may not agree" with that he is doing (which you clearly don't given this last post), but it is not hypocrisy.

That fact remains that it isn't. He says he doesn't like Canelo defending the middleweight belt at a catchweight. Lemiuex is not fighting for a belt, so any claim of hypocrisy is out the window. He also isn't fighting at a catchweight. He missed weight his last fight but he says it is because he missed 5 days of camp in the last week and that he can still make weight. Tapia on the other hand is stating that he can't make 154 anymore and has to go up to 160. Tell me again how a guy who can't make jr middleweight is not actually a middleweight?

So Lemieux having trouble to make weight = "squeezing down"
Tapia can't make weight = not a middleweight yet

somebody save glen tapia from serious hurt
