    Proksa

    Stevens

    Macklin

    Are all solid contenders, would u pick Lemeuix to beat any of them? All 3 outclassed like nvr before

    Everyone knows fine rightly no one will fight GGG and that's the only reason he hasent got a better resume, and in the grand scheme of things as a pro he's still in the very very early stages of his career

    Ur yet to point out the similarities between the 2 fighters btw

    Different kind of fighters. Lemieux to me seems more like a crude slugger. He looked good when he went full blast and kept throwing wild punches against weak and mediocre opposition. That didn't work against a quality operator like Rubio and so DL was exposed. Lemieux has good power but that's about it. He'll run into problems again when he can't land that punch. GGG on the other hand can box you, outpower you and outsmart you. Like I said, two different kind of fighters and I think it has already been proven if you look at the facts.

    People always criticise GGG's resume, but who is he expected to fight? There are hardley any top names at middleweight and anybody GGG tries to fight ducks him.

    lol this guy always hating on GGG. Maybe you're right but I gotta be honest. From what I see of him, he seems like the real deal. Not a big fan of all of this insane hype around him but he really seems special.

    I'm by no means a ggg fan but this comparison is far fetched. Living in Toronto they would broadcast a lot of his fights from early in his career even then you could see there was traces that he would be exposed. I've seen nothing of the sort with ggg.

    Nah. I don't see GGG getting taken out to the woodshed by the likes of Rubio. GGG has already beaten a few guys who'd probably stop Lemieux.

    GGG is all hype

    I will be impressed when he beats Jccjr or Froch or Ward or Groves

    Not Andy Lee or Adama

    Dude don't be impressed if he beats JCC jr because that is a forgone conclusion. Everyone knows GGG smashes JCC jr. Jr sucks. The others I'm not sure of the outcomes.

    The problem is the trolls always act like you are comparing GGG resume to an ATG or something when you say its decent - not to his contemporaries at 160lb.

    I like GGG and would be the first to say he has no sort of ATG or HOF resume at all at this point. But except in rare cases, noone is talking about that.

    When it comes to 160lb, his resume is fine for a regular titleholder who can be favored against everyone else in the division.
