Comments Thread For: Cortez Thinks Canelo Will Fight Lemieux Next, Not Golovkin

[Basco]

Cortez don't know **** about boxing. He's not a fighter, trainer, promoter, or manager so he's basically talking out of his ass like fans do.

Lemieux has trouble making 160, no way he can make 155 healthy for Canelo.

I am willing to bet he knows more than you and me put together!

I can see this fight taking place.

Maybe not at 155, I think team Canelo know that fans will not take any more of the '155 club' BS.

Canelo would beat Lemieux, even at 160.

Its an easy $10 million payday for ginger.

LM DESTROYS Canelo.

Ya Canelo would beat David Lemiux, we all know he has a chin problem so he would walk through Lemiux and fight Golovkin May 6, 2017

LM would blow out Canelo. LM took all GGGs **** for 7 rounds. Canelo gets KOd

You have to be on some SERIOUS Drugs! Ricky Rubio KHTFO!!! Lemuix will LOSE this fight. Easy money.

You got all EXCITED because he squashed a -1800 HUGE underdog in Tapia?? Michael Sora AND Kirkland KO'd Tapia also.

-1800??? Wow!!! So for EVERY $100 I bet I WON $6.... WOW!!!

Which = about 95% chance of Winning.

Canelo will beat Lemuix and probably win another KO of the YEAR!

[Shadoww702]

cotto and Floyd are the toughest fights canelo ever had
david is easy pickings for canelo that is why he is fighting him next and not GGG

Yup. Two for SURE HOFamers. But casual fans only like guys with power. Lemuix would be pretty easy. He has Zero head movement, is pretty all around sloppy. He's a typical come forward, head hunter with No Plan B. For Christ sake Rubio knocked him out. And Alcine beat him then LOST 5 straight fights in a ROW!!!

[MrFynest]

Hope it's not true. Lemioux couldn't even make 160 his last fight. Much less 155!

Exactly what I've been saying. This is the next logical step before Canelo and GGG meet next May

Honestly, Canelo should have fought lemuiex instead of khan...

If Canelo fights lemuiex in September and not ggg, I'm going to be upset, unless ggg scores a big fight vs Saunders, Eubanks, or Jacobs..


I think they should actually do a co-headlining PPv in seperate bouts, maybe seperate locations..

Have Canelo vs lemuiex in Texas, and ggg vs Eubanks, Saunders, in Vegas, same night on same PPV... Gates would be doubled, it would be PPv in US, Canada, and UK if they get one of the UK middleweights. I think it would do decent PPv buys, and more importantly, it would really build a Canelo/ggg fight if both are successful..

Lemieux is brave but limited.

Don't let your blind hate for Canelo (or GGG Boner) cloud your judgement.

I'm a bigger fan of Lemieux than I am Canelo, but there are levels in boxing.

As a road-map to GGG, this fight has made sense to me ever since they announced Lemiuex on the Canelo/Khan undercard.

Lemieux is a softer touch stylistically, but he still throws all fastballs.

He's a good way for Canelo to test the water at 160 and see how far his technical ability takes him against a full fledged 160 lb. fighter.

I'd prefer GGG and Canelo to get it done, make the fight now. Let's see it this year.


If Canelo takes Lemieux next- then that shows he's still moving that direction, but taking a baby step.

I agree with the bolded 100%!!

And the rest sounds like a plan to me! One thing is for certain though, I want Canelo to actually move up to 160 and fighting a real Middleweight before fighting GGG
