Comments Thread For: Yamaguchi Falcao: I'd Gladly Face David Lemieux on Canelo-GGG

Falcao is only going to be able to get a bigged name opponent if it's for a title eliminator. He's the definition of high risk and low reward.
He doesn't have a huge fan base and doesn't bring much in regards to money to the table. Also Falcao is a former medal winner who can cause problems for some of these more established Middlweights.
Lemeiux would honestly be foolish to take on Falcao and in my opinion outside of power I think Falcao is as good if not better in all other skills.
It's a big stepping-stone for Falcao if he wins, and probably the end of Lemieux as a force worth taking seriously at the top level. For that reason Lemieux might not want it, but at the same time he needs a credible win to get himself back in the mix too. This fight might just happen, and it'll be a crossroads battle.
