    Since GGG beat that a55 I have seen David being referred to as a crude banger
    The above post is accurate

    Yes I have also observed after GGG's one sided victory, Lemieux being labelled

    C level
    Brawler
    One dimensional
    Crude banger with overrated power
    Journeyman

    Now after the ferocious knockout, he is suddenly capable of cleaning up the entire middleweight division :lol:

    I try to quickly move through the weeds here. But every now and then I stop to gaze upon them for humor.

    Thanks for the gif, really interesting. You can see how crafted GGG is. He doesn't bring down his right hand while doing the left hook. At the same Lemieux left hook, while connecting before GGG because Lemieux has the quickest hands of the two, made him drop his right and getting punch in the face. Like other pointed out, GGG head snaps back after he blocked the shot with his hand!!!! Incredible speed and power by Lemieux, master technique by GGG.

    Lemieux, i love the guy. Raw puncher.

    Got dominated by GGG and never came close to hurting or "almost knocking out". No shame in that. I'd still watch the rematch because David is electric.

    Lemooo sure works the body with left hooks....like a Mexican, who, as we all know,
    are born throwing left hooks to the body.

    Wow good call,very similar wasn't it?
    Canelo appears to have an iron chin too which is why GGG v Canelo could be mega

    Most fighters don't keep the right hand up when hooking. If GGG's right hand was a little lower, he would have gotten hit flush by that left hook.

    I admit that it was a stretch, but when you consider the situation and how similar it was to last night, a tiny defensive mistake from GGG would have given Lemiuex the opening he needs.
