I want to see GGG go up against some of these demons in back to back fights. No more gay rights leader/part time boxers/french teachers/substitute personal trainers. If you look at anything Lemiux did before last night, why would you think anything but 'this squared up half faq is gonna get his knot rocked' and he did. GGG has only fought these non-boxing square slow plodding guys and you ask why? Why was last night acceptable as a PPV instead of HBO boxing after dark? HBO didn't try that bullshyt with Canelo/Kirkland. Unfortunately, outside of Canelo/Cotto, i don't see many obstacles for GGG, which is a shame bc dude is clearly talented.
Breh canelo a month away from a guy that could technically steamroll lil g. Canelo's 2nd hardest fight should be all he's focusing on. Leave the talking to coke boyIn the GGG vs Lemieux thread, I said:
And it seems Coke Boy already knows Canelo is THEE MAN...and will call his own shots
Check this out:
Oscar De La Hoya: Canelo will be ready for Golovkin -- eventually
By Bad Left Hook and fighthub on Oct 18, 2015, 6:33a 2
Oscar De La Hoya doesn't sound like he's eager to put a time frame on a fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.
Oscar De La Hoya: Canelo will be ready for Golovkin -- eventually
There's a video in that link and the Canelo/GGG talks start at 2:25
Like I said...."eventually" should be just as acceptable AGAINST GGG as it as FOR GGG
GGG will "eventually" fight Ward, but not now because he's not a real Super Middleweight yet? Ok.
Well, Canelo will "eventually" fight GGG, but not now, because he's not a real Middleweight yet either
This is exactly what I've been saying on here and twitter since the fight was announced
B-Hop speaks on GGG, Lemieux, and SOG after the fight
On Golovkin's win and some weaknesses
"You can't take nothing away from GGG. But I think that if Andre Ward or any other person the next grade up is watching, even with the victory they gotta be saying to themselves, they see something. And I think that's what people do when they watch other fights that could possibly be made in divisions that are up or down. To give a guy a report card on who they fight and how good your talents are compared to a guy he just fought, and that is David Lemieux."
On the way the fight played out
"There are a few fighters, not a lot, that are probably licking their chops right now. They look at Lemieux as being a rugged gunslinger. When you're a gunslinger and you have shootouts, more than not you can be gotten, too. But when you're a gunslinger and you're facing a sniper. A sniper sits up, far away, and he'll poke your eyes out until you can't see no more with your jab. Then the right hand comes, and that's the bullet you didn't see. That's the sniper. A gunslinger shoots, he wants all his bullets to be in you."
On why Hopkins wasn't disappointed with Lemieux's performance
"GGG done something today that people didn't see coming, and that was the jab. He used his jab like a shotgun or a jackhammer. ... When a guy does something that we haven't seen him do because everybody he fought was scared to death and got hit with the right hand, we never seen that. They had the CompuBox, he damn near broke a record with jabs! And when you Lemieux and you got a style where you fight like this like Rocky Marciano in the 50s, you can't fight like that in 2015! You ain't comin' in no crouch with a guy that's taller than you and he got the jab. You can't get past that shotgun jab! That jab was knockin' his hair down! And for me, personally, I didn't like the hairdo. I would've cut the hair bald. Look at the psychological advantage. ... When they see the hair fly, the hair waving, it could be a punch that glanced you, but to the judges it looks like you got your wig knocked back. Those small, subtle things."

@LauderdaleBoss whats ur take on gonza vs inoue after last night?
I didn't get a chance to see the Gonza/Viloria fight. I'm a fan of Gonzalez and Inoue and always looked at it as a 50/50 fight or Roman being a slight favorite due to experience.
If you got a link to that fight, I'd be most appreciated.
I think both their styles can beat each other and it all depends on who imposes themselves more. If I had to bet money or make a prediction, I'd lean toward Monster, but I gotta see the Gonzalez/Viloria fight first to be sure.
This post made me
I don't mind rematches that cats earn like Mitchell/Tszyu 2 for example, but don't be trying to force rematches to fights that were exciting, but still pretty dominant performances.
On the low...I think PBC has the Top 3 contenders for Upset of The Year (Huck vs Glowacki, Alexander vs Martinez, Kono vs Kameda) and they have 2 of the Top 3 contenders for FOTY (Huck vs Glowacki & Fonfara vs Cleverly)
GREENandYELLOW
2x...and defending
Exactly. He changed his game plan and did something that Lemieux wasn't ready for. But we will hear more about how GGG is one dimensional. Apparently only other fighers can be good boxers.but to let other ppl tell GGG is a fighter who can't box
