Can't fool the real boxing fan or the gambling world...we all expect Lemieux to be KOd within 6.

He's a C+/B- at best fighter:yeshrug:
Breh that B- is if you're grading on the shytty 160 curve right? Lemiuex's best win is a guy Kid Choc knocked down 6 times :heh:

Behind You
Where is James Toney? The dude went to Iowa and fought a 6’1 undefeated southpaw in Michael Nunn. Iowa is Nunn’s hometown. Six weeks later he fights another tricky southpaw in Reggie Johnson. Then 5 months after that he fights a legitimate all time great in Mike McCallum. Toney was only 23 years old.

Where is Manny Pacquiao? Pacquiao is the only fighter in boxing history to be the underdog in his first 3 title tries and to win each fight. In today’s era most known fighters won’t even take 1 fight where they would be the underdogs let alone 3. He was 19 years old when he fought 33-1 Chatchai Sasukal. He was 22 when he fought Lehlo Ledwaba 33-1 and he was 24 when he fought the great Marco Antonio Barerra who was 57-3. Did I mention he fought another all time great in Juan Manuel Marquez in his very next fight?

Where is Oscar De La Hoya? Oscar is the only fighter in history to fight the #1 p4p fighter 5 times. He may have loss most of the fights but he jumped up to challenge the top dog. In 1997 he fought the great Pernell Whitaker. In 2000 he fought the great Shane Mosley. Mosley was briefly regarded as the top guy around that time. In 2004 he fought the great Bernard Hopkins the window in which Hopkins was considered the best. In 2007 he fought Floyd Mayweather and 2008 he fought Manny Pacquiao at both of their peaks. Did I mention he attempted to unify vs the undefeated Ike Quartey and undefeated Felix Trinidad. And if that’s not good enough he unified at 135 vs Rafal Ruelas.

:salute: And this is why I never have a bad word to say about any of them dudes as far them being fighters goes.
