Nah, Lemieux could defend his belt once or twice against anybody and get the winner of GGG vs Canelo. They keep Lemieux with the belt, and in case Canelo wins you get a unification. If GGG wins, then you get a rematch for all the belts. It would be crazy of them to risk the Canelo vs GGG rematch.
true. that's also very possible. Maybe we can get Lemieux vs Lee in Montreal or something fun like that if Lemieux wants to milk his belt for a bit.
You would have to think GBP are thinking ahead with this one and are paying over the odds so that if Lem wins, easy in-house fights can be made with Canelo and Cotto for big $$$
good fight. bjs is good. i dont think he has what it takes to box lemieux for 12 rounds. bjs doesnt have the strength behind to keep lemieux off of him. but it could be one of them fights bjs can win a decision if lemieux doesnt get him outta there.
Like I expected beforehand. Golden Boy taking away Saunders likeliest path to victory (close decision) as this isn't just about Lemmy, but about Canelo as well. Win or lose, they can hold a big inhouse fight between them, with either the WBO belt on the line (most likely), or even an all the marbles unification (less likely). edit: reading back I see @tommyg6 already had the same idea.
