    Is David Lemieux really just a poor mans Nigel Benn?

    Very similar stance and style
    The main difference being that one had balls and the heart of a lion and the other has no heart and quits when the going gets tough

    To me Lemiuex is just really bad to watch, hes a guy who likes to bully with his power but when someone stands up to him hes gives up on himself, throws less punches and becomes all around more negative. Where as Nigel would go toe to toe and never stop trying.

    How is Lemieux even still relevant? The guy is delusional enough to believe he can still win against GGG, didnt GGG knock this guys screw loose or what.

    Lemieux is a difficult fight for pretty much anyone at 160

      Yeah, your probably right. Benn was better in every department. He threw better combinations with more variety. He had plenty of heart too and was better to watch.

        I think he still is. He's a solid contender and not regulated to gatekeeper status yet. He always has a puncher's chance.

        He might even win another title if GGG moves up, but he'll lose to anyone elite. I'd like to see him fight Jacobs or Saunders.
