    GGG isn't the man at MW just because he's the best MW in the world, he's the man at MW AND the best MW in the world because he went to the US and proved it
    GGG conquered on the biggest stage of all, and if saunders wants to challenge his reign, he will probably have to do the same.
    This is unlikely happen under frank warren

    There is a lot of prejudice against Golovkin. I think Lemieux can and will knock Saunders out, he can't win a decision in UK, no way.

    Steady on farmer.... The U.K. Isn't completely corrupt you know. Occasionally fair decisions do happen there, believe it or not. In any case DL is unlikely to win by decision, unless he scores multiple knockdowns along the way, simply because the crude and limited DL will prob ...legitimately....lose every round he doesn't score a knockdown in.
    Doubt he wins any round off billy Joe where there isn't a knockdown....or even hardly connects cleanly with a punch at all actually....

    Expect Saunders to out box Lemieux and win on points.

    Lemieux can punch but he is rather basic, I see Saunders outboxing him for large parts, there might be the odd dodgy moment for Saunders but by the time Saunders gets tired Lemieux will also be tired and boxed to pieces.

    Saunders by decision.

    Saunders last 2 fights. He sucks. People are acting like he is a boxing wizard of something. He wont survive agains Lemieux.

    if Lemieux could land on a boxer mover like N'dam, then why not Saunders?

    Does anyone expect BJ to stand there and fight Lemieux....or do they expect that BJ shall run, hold and grope...or what? Just curious.
