    Man, Lemieux has some serious power. I really want to see how
    Golovkin will respond if he gets hit with one of those sledgehammers. I still take GGG via KO but man if one of those lands flush, good night.

    He is also sparring right people: Derevyanchenko at this time, plus Khytrov is coming.

    GGG is one of the most beautifull boxer to watch, his pacing, skill, feints, power, countering. He is a master.

    But Lemieux is faster, hits like a mule, is younger, probably stronger and maybe hungrier. He is also pretty skill himself. His reach limits him a lot though which makes him look sloppy at times..

    I know. I'm worried about Lemieux's power. I highly highly doubt Golovkin has faced that type of power, and Lemieux is looking explosive....

    Lemieux's left hook terrifies me tbh. Golovkin can't play with this one.

    What a bum. His footwork hurts my eyes. I've seen amateurs with better technique and fundamentals. Awful sense of distance too. He better pray for an early lucky punch, because he's going to be destroyed.

    David is dangerous as hell.....he has a shot but I think GGG is more composed, efficient and more patient. David is going to try and force his will over Golovkin from jump. He just better not get caught being overly aggressive because the only other Dangerous Middleweight with his level of power is GGG.

    His footwork isn't bad at all. He pivots, punches off angles and has good balance. Golovkin has better footwork but you talk about David's sense of distance without taking into account he is a pressure fighter. He distance is him on his opponents chest. His strength is on the inside where he can maximize his power with tight compact punches.

    Those steps forward starting with his back foot are awful. No, I dont buy it, awful footwork, really bad footwork.

    Sense of distance is not less importat for a pressure fighter than for any other kind of fighter. The sense of distance that he proves to have hitting the bag is horrible at best.

    He hits hard, but he needs to spend a freaking ton of stamina in every punch. GGG spends much less stamina per hit and hits equally hard. His power will not last sh***, and at the very moment he will gass out, and god knows he will, ggg will demolish him, If not before, abusing the fact that ggg's sense of distance is superb and lemieux's is horrible.

    David Lemieux is kinda interesting in the sense that I believe he is a smaller guy for the division which makes him very quick, but he punches so hard that his small size doesn't matter as long as he gets inside.
