    Golovkin is very well rounded and has decent power to boot, so i'd say he could beat Lemieux at this point in time if was able to keep David off him. When Lemieux steps it up a bit and we see some more improvements, then the fight could well be different.

    As of now i'd say Golovkin UD - Too tight and well rounded, although he doesn't excell in any particular area. Lemieux is a bit Green and hasn't faced sufficient competiiton.

    golovkin beats him fairy easy at the moment but lemeuix is only 21 another 3 years of proper development he will be a great fighter.

    Golovkin wins, no doubt; he can KO Lemieux and he can outbox him.

    Given Golovkin's amateur credentials, Lemieux has nothing to do him in the same ring. GGG is much better than most people realize. The guy who beat down Andre Dirrell, Matvey Korobov and Lucian Bute in unpaid ranks can't be pad. The Canadian ain't bad as well but at this point he isn't fully ready for Golovkin. Maybe in two years it could be different, but now I'll go with Golovkin via TKO 4-6

    Right now Golovkin would KO him but I think Lemieux would beat him in a few years.

    Golovkin would beat him comfortably.

    I'd like to see this fight. Even though he's had soft competition thus far, I'm a beleiver in Lemieux and think he has what it takes to make it. I think he is ready for Golovkin now, though i doubt his handlers will ready to throw him into the fire just yet.

    theres no point in this fight, it would simply derail a good thing that Lemeuix has going. and its not particularly good for Gennady either, he needs to start fighting better opposition and start winning those titles like I know he can

    Golovkin wins by KO in under 6 rounds.

    Lemieux has a long road ahead of him before he is ready for someone like Golovkin.
