    It's going to take more than just hand speed to beat him.

    Lemiuex is a bum. GGG should take him out in the first half of the fight.

    A bum who beat N'dam more decisively than Quillin did?

    He is a bum because he has two losses nevermind had very strong come back since those losses and looked great.

    Either have a better comeback, related to boxing or don't comment. I don't play the games these other guys do.

    Lemieux probably does have a decent advantage over Golovkin when it comes to hand speed. And I suppose if he's to have a shot in this, that would come into play.

    But that advantage is offset by Lemieux's technique, which can get sloppy, and the fact that GGG is a stellar counter puncher with magnificent timing.

    I'm expecting a mismatch of the highest order, where Lemieux is blasted out, and thoroughly outclassed while it lasts.

    If he throws one clean shot, Lemiuex will have served his purpose.

    GGG does not fit the description of a "slow plodder"

    Lemeux isn't better than the Antwon Echols that Hopkins beat twice. It quality of today's middleweight division is atrocious.

    :deal

    GGG is way better. Davids only chance is some sort of one-punch-ko. Unlikely!

    I'd actually pick Murray to outbox Lemieux. I don't see how he has a chance against GGG other than the slim puncher's chance.

    When asked this week what he thought about the fact that he is fighting one of the biggest puncher in the boxing world, Lemieux answered: "I am in the shoes of one of the biggest puncher, and those are my shoes!"

    Lemieux is getting in there confident. In an other interview, he said: "while he may brake my nose, I will brake his."

    Lemieux is expecting explosions, but he is confident he will pull it.

    And he beat Fernando Guerrero and Gabe Rosado more decisively and impressively than Quillin did too.

    Rosado gave Quillin everything he could handle and some and he was on his way winning that fight prior to doctor waving it off because of the cut. He hurt Quillin and was walking him down and bossing him. Quillin was lucky they waved it off and that the judges were obviously on someone's payroll with those ridiculous score cards of theirs.

    Fight Golovkin and suddenly you're a Bum

    If Ward ever ended up fighting him, he'd be an instant Bum too

    Kovalev? Bum

    Klitschko? Bum

    Calzaghe? well ok there are always exceptions

    But the Bottom line is - you sign to fight Golovkin you instantly become a Bum
