I don't think there's a fight you can make in the sport today that better emphasizes that "styles make fights". Lemieux is a one trick pony, but the Derev we've seen would probably play right into his hands and could very well get chinned early.
Derevyanchenko would beat and stop him. Lemieux just doesn't have the skills of GGG or Jacobs to land cleanly on Derevyanchenko and even when they landed they still couldn't take him out of there. Derevyanchenko will outbox and outwork Lemieux with his far superior skills and his workrate and stamina will play a huge role in the second part of the fight when he will likely stop David
Lemieux has the power, and Derev walked right into Culcay early and got hurt. Walked into GGG early and got hurt. He's a slow starter and his pressure is really reckless to begin with. GGG had the wherewithal to wear Lemieux down with the jab early. BJS just played the matador. Derev doesn't do that stuff. He loves us to much to be boring. To his own detriment in this match up.
Lemiuex got KTFO by a JrMW in Marco Antonio Rubio and then immediately got outboxed by a journeyman. I love David Lemiuex, but ever since the Golovkin fight was announced he's been overhyped by the GGGoon squad.
Chenko is much better than LeMule but he was getting touched a fair bit by Golovkin's lefts hooks and LeMule has a left hook that could tear a wall down. That equlaiser would make him a live dog in the fight , giving him a slim chance to deliver a stopping blow while in the midst of getting his eras boxed off. Fight won't happen anyway as DaMule was moved up to SMW. Perhaps thats why Kris Euwankz moved back down?? Hmm
