    Good fight. GGG should take it though.

    Am I the only one who thinks Lemiuex is nowhere near world class? I feel he was fortunate to win the title tbh. He gasses, is 1-D and his only real asset is power IMO. I actually think Eubank Jr would beat him comfortably right now.

    You probably are, considering he's fighting for World Titles...

    He has world class power for a start, and that carried him so far, but he has had setbacks and is limited though has more to his gameplan now than just rushing in throwing leather - he showed technical improvements in overall ring-craft to win that belt against a very decent and tough opponent and yeah he tired after round 8 or 9 but the fight with GGG is not going that far. He's a risky fight for anyone with his power and his recent 'new focus' (money from Golden Boy) and is a true live underdog for someone being talked about as a future ATG.

    World class? I take that to mean being rated in the top 10 or maybe 15 of a weight class regardless of which of the 4 organisations they fight under. I put him in there in current middleweights. Getting sparked by GGG won't change that either.

    And fair fu*ks to the lad for doing what a lot of other 'world class' fighters haven't done - took the fight. World class *****, you must at least agree there :good

    I can't believe even an innocent word like 'bal ls' is blocked too, get a grip.

    So? His reasoning for not fighting GGG and facing Geale instead diminishes all of what you said.

    every fighter faces poor oponents(mayweather =Ortiz guerrero pacman =clottey algieri ) but just pointing out he has faced the 2 best fighters in this generation and fighting canelo who a lot of people think the next big star and will prob earn him double or treble what fightin ggg would at a bigger risk .personaly think gg beats cotto would love to see it but don't think will happen

    What?!?

    I'm sorry I'm not buying into the AMAZING fight status. It's a 20/1 shut out. Adama and Murray were much more credible opponents :hey

    :hat
