Comments Thread For: Lemieux: Our Goal is To Get Canelo, People Want This Fight

It would be a fun fight to watch.

The people don't want this fight. It's called options. By the time we get Canelo/Golovkin it might be irrelevant.

I say Lemieux should fight Sergiy Derevyanchenko or Immanuel Aleem! If he has another performance like he did with Stevens, THEN maybe "people want this fight," but not just yet!

Lemu just tryin to cash out cuz he ain't got much in this game.....

Don't have a problem with this fight. Canelo has every right to test the middleweight waters before taking on the top guy in GGG. Although it would make more of a statement if he fought Jacobs. You know, actually beat him instead of getting a so-so hand raise. But Lemieux is fine. Wouldn't order it On PPV. But its definitely not a bad fight.

Reasons why I think Lemieux will be the September opponent
1. It will be an in-house fight. Both fighters are with Golden Boy, so only Golden Boy profits from this 100%. Easy fight to make.
2. It's a decent enough Plan B opponent for Canelo to make up for lack of a GGG/Canelo fight being made.
3. Lemieux/Canelo would make for an action packed fight, I would imagine. So Canelo's fanbase will definately buy this PPV, seeing the danger is Lemieux being a knockout artist. People will be intrigued to see how Canelo faces a big puncher. So people will buy this PPV, imo. Hence why Lemieux is put on the Canelo/Chavez undercard against a bum (who he will prolly knockout) to be prolly introduced as the next opponent. Even myself, I wouldn't mind watching Canelo/Lemieux if we don't get Canelo/GGG.

Reasons why I think Lemieux won't be the September opponent
1. Lemieux is still a risky opponent for Canelo. Golden Boy's matchmaking of Canelo's opponents are usually guys that Canelo can 90/10 most likely beat and to me, Lemieux is a live opponent in this fight who could KO Canelo with a shot. So maybe Canelo will fight an easier 160lb opponent than Lemieux. Would Canelo actually fight someone that could possibly beat & hurt him? I dunno, I'm not feeling it. History echoes my sentiments
2. Maybe Chavez actually gives the fight of his life, makes it close and we have Canelo/Chavez 2 in September.

Canelo's fans would buy a PPV of him fighting Chocolatito and say that Mexico triumphed over Nicaragua.

Don't you guys get tired of trotting out the same exact arguments time and again trying to convince someone who isn't listening and trotting out their same stale comments? A-Sides and B-Sides, calling fighters cowards or bums?

They think they are enlightening the masses, when the reality is closer to this
