    Would be a really good fight and I bet GBP makes it after GGG moves up.

    Lemieux would have a very good chance if it was at the limit of 160.

    he is definately in with a shot because he is a hard puncher but imo Canelo's bigger experience on the top level would let him prevail.

    No comment about your pitty punches what is clear Canelo's getting better with each fight he's not the brute force anymore.

    Lemieux comes to Canelo and gets taken advantage of after a couple of rounds. Pretty much like what went on last night.

    Canelo KTFO6 Lemieux

    Even fight in my opinion. Lemieux has a lot of power, and even though he has numerous flaws, Canelo has holes in his game too.

    Same outcome as the last time Lemieux fought a Mexican redhead.

    Lemieux is the bigger fighter. He is the naturally stronger fighter. He hits much harder. His chin is tested against the top middleweights. I'd favor him over Canelo. It'd really just depend if Canelo could avoid 98% of Lemieux's power punches like Golovkin.
