First of all, he will not beat Lemieux decisively. His wins over Eubank Jr and Lee were very close to not say questionable. That covers all good opponents he fought. Nowhere close to Golovkin's resume.

i just mean the overall quality of opponents beat. i agree ggg wins more explosive.

BJS looks like:
Willie Monroe Jr (2017), Artur Akavov, Andy Lee, Yoann Bloyer, Chris Eubank Jr, Emanuele Felice Blandamura, John Ryder, Gary O'Sullivan, Matthew Hall, Nick Blackwell, Jarrod Fletcher, Bradley Pryce, Tony Hill.
GGG looks like:
Saul Alvarez, Danny Jacobs, Kell Brook, Dominic Wade, David Lemiuex (2015), Willie Monroe Jr (2015), Martin Murray, Marco Antonio Rubio, Daniel Geale, Osumanu Adama, Curtis Stevens, Matthew Macklin, Nobuhiro Ishida, Gabriel Rosado, Gregorz Proksa
I only know the guys in bold on BJS resume.
For anyone who does know the rest, does Daniel Geale (2014) beat all of them?

Hard to answer about Geale, he is patchy.

BJS resume is not as good as GGG's and he should never even be MENTIONED in the same sentence as GGG, unless it's to say GGG is in a different GALAXY than BJS. 
Re: if saunders beats lemieux are the opponents he beat as good as ggg's?
No golovkin comfortably has a stronger record
Re: if saunders beats lemieux are the opponents he beat as good as ggg's?
Is this really a question? I mean, come on. Are people STILL giving GGG crap about his resume? No Boxer has fought a tougher stretch that GGG's last 5 fights (Canelo, Jacobs, Brook, Lemieux-not counting Wade because he's overrated). I thought this stupid discussion was over.

The talent pool in Golovkin’s resume prior to the start of 2017 was pretty shallow, but yet it was still ever-so-slightly better than Saunders’ record will be when he inevitably emerges victorious against David Lemieux.
As the old adage goes, "talent" is useless unless it’s proven…. And "potential" is useless unless it’s fulfilled!
And when GGG defeated Jacobs and Canelo, in two remarkably competitive bouts, he managed to do both.
Those two standout victories alone are sufficient enough evidence to justify my belief about Gennady’s resume being vastly superior than Billy Joe’s will be after the Lemieux bout.
