Comments Thread For: IBF Could Strip Canelo; Order Golovkin-Derevyanchenko For Title

that does not sound like a world-class fighter..... does it Tony Baloney?

stop being a ****

there are club fighters with just as much power as Lemieux

Lemieux is a C to B- level fighter, with B+ to A- level power

he is just a puncher, nothing more

which is why he lost to journeymen, and got totally embarrassed by a guy YOU thought had no chance

Are there guys with that kind of power ?? Really give me some names. This guy managed to get a title and held the second highest KO ratio in the Middleweight division. No he's not a scrub but he isn't a great boxer. He's a dangerous fighter because of his power. By the way who is this mystery guy I thought had no chance??

It is when Lemieux knocked out Stevens with one punch and did it quicker than a clearly better boxer in Golovkin did. That tells me he has huge power and is dangerous. Yeah it's a notable achievement. I also noted in my response that Lemieux has plenty of flaws.

but, Stevens is another flat-footed made-to-order SCRUB

what don't you guys get ? LMAO

knocking out scrubs is not a notable achievement..... you scrub

Exactly, I understand not liking GGG but I like a lot of the fighters outside the main attractions and there's no need to dump on their careers. I especially love it when they end up shocking a dominant champ. It often happens and it makes for great drama every time.

WELL THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO GOLOVKIN !!

[aboutfkntime]

Not only did he beat them he beat the crap out of them. He also destroyed Stevens in less time than Golovkin did. He has plenty of flaws but he is a dangerous puncher.

I wouldn't disagree with Martin Murray being a better win either, I just wondered why you excluded lemieux as one of GGG's actually world level opponents. I think he's a cherrypicker, tried desperately to beat B-Hops defence record while avoiding some of the best from 160 and all from 168 in particular which he said he would face. Give him credit where it's due.

because he is a scrub, wtf ?

I clearly explained why I excluded Lemieux, and why I included Murray..... Lemieux is average, he is not world-class

have you ever watched him fight ?

how long have you been following this sport ?

you ended up with one guy in there, so whats the problem ?

that is called being knowledgeable, as well as being brutally honest

[aboutfkntime]

Lemiuex is not elite but well capable of beating top 10 opponents and has done so, so yes he's at world level. Styles make fights often, I thought you would have figured this out. Back then he certainly was being on that hot streak. Their form at the time counts for something too.

no, he is simply not a genuine world-class fighter

he is actually not much more than an unskilled puncher

I don't care how many flat-footed made-to-order scrubs that he knocked out..... Lemieux is clearly not a genuine world-class fighter

insisting that Lemieux (or anyone else for that matter) is world-class because they were ranked in the top 10 at some point..... is one of the absurd conclusions that casual-fans often parrot

FACT: there are plenty of current top 10 fighters who are clearly not world-class

FACT: you are either world-class, or you are not..... regardless as to how high the corrupt incompetent ABC clowns had you ranked

you can easily tell that Lemieux is not a genuine world-class fighter..... simply by watching him LMAO

Lemieux who beat Rosado and N'Dam right before facing GGG? He was bad? OK... whatever you say man.

[BoloShot]

Rosado and N'Dam ???

if you think that Lemieux is a genuine world-class fighter..... then you do not know what a genuine world-class fighter should look like

TIP: he should be a LOT more competent and well-rounded

Lemieux is not much more than a unskilled puncher, and is certainly not world-class..... he is heavy-handed, so he will beat lower-level opponents that he can hit

Martin Murray was a better fighter than Lemieux, and a better win for Golovkin..... Murray is the second-best win on G's resume, not Lemieux.....
