Comments Thread For: Lemieux's Promoter Aims For Canelo Showdown in 2017

[RuslanChagaev]

David Lemieux is so dangerous opponent 4 all boxers in middleweight divison. Except Golovkin. I like his hard style.

[////]

its one of the few non-ggg fights that canelo should take. not sure who wins it.

I think Canelo loses at 160. Lemieux is the second best out there IMO. Hes shown more heart and is a vicious puncher.. Canelo couldnt even Knock down cotto once, where Manny pacquiao has.

I'm of the one's who think there are levels in boxing, when you step up and fight fighters who are at the top level it becames harder to look impressive or knock them out, and so do I believe fights are about styles.

The fact he couldn't knock down Cotto doesn't say he's bad or he don't possess power, Floyd couldn't knock down Cotto, Mayorga, Mosley I mean there's some heavy fisted guys who couldn't knock down Cotto, at this stage we know Margarito was cheating and Pacquiao was a freak of nature when he fought him.

I think Lemiuex is a good fighter but he ain't on the level of the top high skilled guys, stylistically Lemieux style and defense holes would be all right for Canelo's counter skills, with all honesty and a lot of guys here will call me crazy, I think Canelo would stop Lemiieux ala Kirkland, call me crazy, I'd love that fight to happen, but it's what I think would happen.

Don't get me wrong, of course Lemieux is a better fighter than Kirkland and he's a heavier guy but I don't see beating a high-skill puncher boxer

which version of pacquiao fought cotto ? PEDQUIAO showed up for that fight ...the current version of pacquiao sux...

You guys easily pick Canelo to win? lol..If that were true, Oscar would have set it up a long ago instead of bringing "bantamweights" to fight Canelo.
David can and will probably floor Canelo. There is no way Saul has enough power to trade with David. Even GGG refused to trade with David

There is no way David has enough IQ and skill to trade with Canelo, styles makes fights, I'd love that fight to happen next so I can talk to you after the fight and explain to you what "Boxing Levels" are. Canelo's is one if not the most creative combination puncher in boxing plus he set traps and hsi boxing ability is very underrated.

Yes, he feer are cement planted, he doesn't move around the ring for ****, his stamina ain't good, but he's got good things to compensate for.

Styles makes fights. I honestly think Canelo would have a more difficult fight with Monroe or BJS, but that is just me.

Lemiux DISMANTLES Mrs. 62k lol. They will not fight Lemieux, watch.

Lemieux stands no chance against Canelo. The thought he does is laughable. He's about the same level as Liam Smith.

[BillyBoxing]

I think it'll be Saunders and not Lemieux! Either opponent will be good for Canelo's 1st fight @ 160.

Saunders would be a tougher fight for Canelo.

Lemieux is tailor made for Nelo, he would come at Nelo loading his punches like a mule.

Saunders, unlike Lemieux or Smith, is elusive and doesn't come at you.

Plus, still unlike them, he stands at 5"11, has a true MW reach and with the right game plan, he could trouble Canelo.

Saunders just lacks experience IMO, so despite having the Tools to beat Nelo, I'm not sure about him doing it and being serious about it.

I'm not here to argue with people but Canelo would have to box with him to win the fight. I just don't see him trade with David and comes out victorious. David has good timing and can nail anybody if his punches land. Usually, when he trades, he does land and that's why he has a high KO ratio.
Remember, if Oscar thought it would be a walk in the park for Canelo, he would have made it a long time ago.
