Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Lemieux-Tapia Winner Could Be Opponent for Canelo

[BennyBlanco]

Oscar De La Hoya confirmed Tuesday what seemed obvious when the David Lemieux-Glen Tapia fight was made nearly two weeks ago. The winner of their 10-round middleweight match May 7 will become a potential opponent for Canelo Alvarez.

So much for making the best fights...Canelo taking on the guy who got KO'ed by Golovkin rather than Golovkin...

Or worse, the guy who got KO'ed by Soro...

[MindGame]

That is a shocker~

Would have been a much more sound plan if they didn't feed Lemieux to Golovkin for nothing really.

That was a solid business maneuver by Oscar...
Golden Boy served up Lemieux (And his IBF World Championship Belt.) to GGG as part of the step aside agreement that allowed Canelo vs Cotto. (And Cotto's WBC World Championship belt.)

That IBF Middleweight Title (From Canelo's side) and the 800 thousand dollars GGG got (From Cotto side) was a sweet deal for GGG... But K2 can only publicly acknowledge the 800 thousand....

I realize Lemieux is fearless, but...
Didn't you find it strange that Lemieux didn't even make a voluntary defense or two before GGG ??? And not milk it like BJS...

That's just delahoyas way of say Canelo is not fight GGG cause he is afraid to get his ass kicked lol. So let see if the WBC keeps there word on stripping or if they kiss Canelos ass

Those guys are just going to 155 to get a check , and get destroy in 3rd round by Canelo

This coke sniffing up the ass ***** taking wife beating kid abusing drag.

WBC will make Canelo Emeritus Champion so he can fight Golovkin on call in 2017-18.

Either guy would be a good fight with Canelo on regular HBO not Pay Per View.

Just my opinion the winner of this fight should fight either Rosado or Johnson next.

rosado vs lemiuex part 2? but why

[Larry the boss]

This is hilarious

[sicko]

Very Predictable! So Canelo vs Lemeiux in September

Then Tureano Johnson in May 2017

[bigdunny1]

Oscar said the same thing about Rosado. I don't think lemieux fights canelo next he just saying hey the winner might fight canelo to try and hype up their fight and maybe sell more ppvs. Just like there was never a shot that Rosado was fighting canelo in may. I think if GGG doesn't agree to canelo's terms he will fight cotto again in sept. I think that is the backup plan.
