Watch Lemieux-Naugler on YT. That's the only fight he went the full 10 rounds. He had no problem at all, I'd even say he was probably too busy for nothing in the last rounds. He said he could have done a 15-rounder the same day.
Ha! Just like you, I see no one from MW beating Martinez. And then you have posters on this forum saying Martinez should fight MW opposition, but then again there is none. Pirog? :verysad Lemieux? :verysad Chavez Jr? :rofl Sturm? Now this one I like, but he won't come to the US and I don't think Martinez will go over to Europe. Like someone posted on this thread earlier; Its Martinez at MW and then everyone else. We will see how Lemieux does against Rubio but by the time he is ready, Martinez will be out of the picture.
Lemieux is like Pete Maravich was in the Southern conference back in the sixties scoring 44.0 but basicly against all white skinny dudes....not one athletic brother in any of the clips Ive seen for Lemiuex.....who knows anyway I feel crappy now as Maravich was the real deal .....Lemiux? still many questions that only quality opposition and fights against some good black fighters will answer.
so you are telling me that Golovkin,Sturm, Sylvester, Guerrero, Pirog etc don't even have a chance against a guy who has no notable names on his record???????
:rofl What a shitload of bs. How many good Black fighters are at MW?? H1N2, Fernando Guerrero maybe?:think
I believe he has all the intangibles to become a great, feared champion. Granted, his real series of tests are about to start at a high level, but he was brought up the right way (not too slow, not too fast) and I believe he will accomplish much in the division. Unless there is some critical flaw we don't know about (e.g., bad chin, poor conditioning, low ring IQ) I see him being almost unstoppable.
I would bet someone like Lemieux would love Martinez to try to toy with him. Lemieux may never pan out to be a top fighter, but with what he does have, power, accuracy, timing and decent speed, his opponents better respect him and not try to clown or they could end up on their back. That includes Martinez.
Other than Martinez there isn't a middlweight on earth that's effin with him. He'll be a mega star, he's got a ridiculous amount of mainstream appeal, the next DLH. HBO's already knocking down his down his door.
seriously man, What is with these Canadian Boxers..:huh I did read was it from boxrec i am not sure but there said Jean PAscal has somewhat 68 reach? not to mention Bute with his Propeller hands and Lemieux Icing The cake with his Ludicrous meat stumps:think I am with same height as Lemieux 5'10 and my reach is 76 while Lemieux has 64:rofl
