Comments Thread For: It's Time To Appreciate David Lemieux

[Sweet_Science_]

Twas a great performance from David the dancing destroyer Lemeiux. No, Stevens wasn't a top ten contender at this stage in his career.. He is an exciting pug who has served up a few one punch ko' s of his own.
Lemeiux's power was never in doubt. To me, I think that he is in the top 3 of the division. That he wanted to unify with 3G still has to be applauded. As another poster commented, he didn't BJS his belt or enjoy a slew of "showcase" title defenses.
As for what's next, Lemeiux earned another date on HBO and in this day that's gold. Andy Lee and Lemeiux are made for each other. Both ex titlists, both have name recognition and both are tv friendly fighters.

Fu.ck, an article for beat the b class of Stevens?

Time to appreciate Lemieux? Hahahaha he is not in the top 30 of the world, stop with this hype job, is totally ridiculous.

Not even B...dudes c or MAYBE C+

Interested in how your grading system works if top 5 fighters are "maybe C+".

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.

Funny thing, a division of like 3, he's 3rd...that's awesome for him.

Curtis Stevens is a top 5 fighter?

[Metho_4u]

Lemieux is #4 on both Ring and Transnational and has a win over #5/#7 N'dam.

Middleweight is a good division right now. Golovkin, Alvarez, Lemieux, Jacobs, Saunders, Lee, Eubank, etc., but (almost not needing to finish my sentence) they need to fight each other.

A good division? But without geale and macklin....

In a weak division, they are rated lower...hence why lemiuex is C or C+.

Ah theres nothing to beat the lazy arrogance of a boxing fan sitting on the sidelines dissing a fighter.
Lemieux not in the top 30? Stevens a fringe fighter?

Did either of you watch the fight?

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.

So what does that make joaquin alcine then?
