    It's going to be a heck of a unification bout between Sulu Maroon and Split Decision OG Kwik-E-Mart

    Lemieux has some obvious flaws (as do every fighter) but who would be good and tough enough to exploit them? Exactly who?

    Monroe jr would have the edge in a boxing match, but Lemieux would eventually make it a brawl. He would broke him down.

    Andy Lee, even though he could bang a little, would fall under that preasure and power. DL is tougher sob.

    Saunders is a good boxer but he isn't athletic enough. DL would make it a brawl and walk him down, corner him and just force his power.

    Jacobs? Maybe, but jacobs isn't exactly a defensive wizard, is he. And DL has better chin.

    Charlo and Murata are still unknown quantities, but until they prove their worthy, i have to go with Lemmu.

    Well if he's any sense he'll take the hit for a few million and come in a few pounds heavier,in the long run it could pay off

    That's a good write up though I do think with re to Saunders that because of his last performance were all writing him off,if he can get back to fitness and find the mesmerising form that beat Lee and Eubank I believe he'd beat Lemieux,it's always amazing to see a KO artist win like that but we should keep in mind how a good boxer can negate the big puncher which is exactly what Gennady did,at his best Saunders is a beautiful boxer and I'm sure his plan would be to let Lemieux gas out,not many can fight like that past four rounds,last night it paid off but to me it was obvious Lemieux wanted a quick knock out,anyway Saunders v Lemieux I'd love to see for sure.

    I would absolutely love to see that fight!

    I have to add, Saunders is also much smaller fighter in the ring. Last night Stevens connected many times but DL still continued to do what he does best and walk him down. Even the KO punch connected after Stevens left hook. That said, i don't see how Saunders could slow him down if DL pushes him against the ropes.

    I know what you mean based on last night it would be hard to see how Saunders could keep him off but again we need to remember that Stevens just totally played into how Lemieux wanted it to go,I'm convinced Lemieux doesn't want any hard work and a technical boxer could make him work as to my knowledge Lemieux doesn't even have a jab or one to really speak of,anyway at least we now know why Golovkin really treated Lemieux with respect,makes me laugh those on here that say he was exposed by Brook lol when it was so clear GGG was just walking through him,in the Lemieux fight I can't remember ever seeing such a skilled jabathon from anyone which would make sense as I believe it was a record?

    Would of loved to have seen it live but just going off the highlights wasn't it brutal,like both guys knew one of them was leaving on a stretcher,the sound of punches from both guys was astonishing kind of like the sound Mikey Garcias punches make.
