I give Lemieux credit for being a SOLID b class fighter.

B class, but SOLID. And also a very entertaining fighter.

That's about right. I appreciate him for being an entertaining fighter who goes looking for the KO and more often than not, gets it. You don't have to think a guy's some kinda HOFer to appreciate them.

Boxrec's competerized rating system puts Lemieux at #3 and Stevens at #26 - which seem defensible. I'd love to see Lemieux fight Canelo and think he'd have a good chance of scoring an upset.

Lemieux is #3 the computer told me. It also told me Canelo is the best fighter in the world and Mayweather is the greatest ever.
