Yup. :TU:

Canelo I - MD for GGG
Canelo II - Draw or it could've gonna either way.

apollo creed wrote: 28 Apr 2019, 05:08 Contrary to what some people think I believe that GGG's main ability is his boxing skills. He had to neglect that in the past because he had to appeal the public with the 'mexican style' to gain a big market share. If he goes with a trainer like Buddy McGirt or team Loma, GGG would be able to give us some good performances against good opposition. I agree that in the Jacobs fight, GGG didn't look spectacular but he edged it with that knock down. He tried too hard to T/KO Jacobs and it didn't work. :TU:
Totally agree mate :TU:

Deffo mate. I thought that at the time. Jacobs is no mug and was boxing well. GGG should've just boxed. He must've had the Pirog fight in his mind and thought he could walk through Jacobs.

He still won the Jacobs fight, and it wasn't that close.

GGG won that but it didn't look like in the Lemieux fight. Also I think GGG fought the best version of Jacobs with those TKO wins over Quillin and Mora. :TU:

That GGG performance against Lemuiex was special - rod of a jab broke him down completely!

Yup. GGG showed his fine boxing skills. That was the real/natural style of GGG and not that forced 'mexican style'. :box:

Lemieux isn't a very good fighter.

He's a solid contender but nothing special.
He has a good fan base is the best thing about fighting him

More fringe. I mean he was top 10-15. But shocking how many people rate him. Most overrated puncher in a long time.

Somebody mentioned Jacobs KO of Quillin. I think Golovkin's win was more impressive.

Oh, it wasn't me. They're same level. Jacobs was more surprising, I knew lemieux had nothing for GGG. They could fight 100 times and he wouldn't win a Rd.

LOL :doh: With that win over N'Dam N'Jikam and that crazy KO of Curtis Stevens, Lemieux is above Jermall and Andrade at 160 lbs. Get your facts straight!

I had to set you straight on andrade, son. Lemieux wouldn't land a glove on either of them. Get your eyes straight.

You're talking out of your as.s based on nothing. What opponents Jermall and Andrade schooled at 160lbs that are better wins than Lemieux's wins over N'dam and Stevens to prove a glimpse of what you're fantasize ? Kautondokwa, Centeno Jr? lol :lol: :doh:

Lemieux is fighting at 168. So why don't you start a thread about how nobody has ever seen him fight? :roll: not long ago andrade was part of your bizarre Charlo vendetta until I fixed you. Don't bite the hand that feeds!

Apologies for butting into someone else’s debate, but Lemieux’s victory over Hassan N'Dam took place almost four years ago and the Curtis Steven’s win happened more than two years ago, with the American never being classed amongst the top-ten 160lb-ers by The RING or ESPN. It's not a particularly impressive victory.

In my mind, time doesn’t stand still and all fighters inevitably reach a certain point during their career where they're on the decline. Also, David Lemieux now competes at 168lbs.

I do agree with those who believe that the current iteration of a weight-drained 160lbs version of the Canadian puncher would very likely suffer ones-sided defeats to the likes of Demetrius Andrade and Jermall Charlo.
