Why is Lemuiex labeled a bum now since Canelo may fight him?

I rate him like a "B" fighter, and I always did. but where were you when people in here were just bashing him for being a 1 fight champion?
oh right, when you refer to that opinion you only take in consideration a certain group of people(in this case GGG fanboys). Yeah I think that is the case with 90% of the post in this forum.
I can really give two ****s about him now, since he cant even do the weight now , lol. thats why fighting people at the right times matters(whether is on his prime or on his downfall)Comment

It's not that he's a bum but when GGG fought him it was a unification and that was a while ago now. When he was a champ, he had a claim of being one of the top fighters in the division. Nobody can really knock a unification fight, that's what should happen.
He got knocked out in that fight and then has since been schooled by Saunders too and clearly not one of the top Middleweights today, a bit faded, not a champ and lost his big fights. Canelo facing him at this point doesn't mean much.
Y'know, fighters decline or become less relevant. By your logic, we should keep rating fighters the same as they once were, even if they're not what they once were.Comment

hs not a bum, hes a very short term titlist, winning a vacant one.
Thats essentially the lowest of the low amongst titlists.
But he was still a titlist. He brought world class power to the ring.
In another era he'd not have won a title at all.Comment

Right. He’s one of our typical Canadian fighters, makes too much money being a local tough guy. It’s usually the right career move here. He’s exciting and glad we support him. GGG walked through his power, beat him like a drum, BJS made him look a level or two below. If we ever get a legit all world talent I’d like to see them travel and get the real experience u need to be the Best.He got knocked out by Marco Rubio.
Come on dude.... No one ever rated him more than a dude with a good punch who could sell a few tickets, he just hit hard and had a world title.
After BJS absolutely humiliated him, he's not going to get any respect when talking about top-shelf middleweights.
Saying all that, I'm cool with Canelo fighting him. Should be a fun one while he lasts.Comment

He’s a bum, but he’s got size and hits hard. He’s a stay busy fight for Canelo. Nothing wrong with that. Now if Canelo makes a habit of fighting only guys like Lemieux and below then he’s hurting his stature, but we know Canelo has a history of fighting guys a lot better already.
People hate Canelo, but you know what? He’s improving a lot, every fight right now he seems to show something new and improved. He’s putting together a hall of fame career and he’s got a long long ways to go.Last edited by Johnny2x2x; 12-18-2018, 07:56 AM.Comment

calling someone with world class power a bum isnt right. You mean that hes a weak titlist, guys.
Cmon, Lemmy is arguably GGG's best win so its crazy that for Canelo hes a bum fight.Comment
