Rubberhead was right. The frenchmans body work was the difference. He slowed down but Rosado didn't have much steam on his shots later in the fight
For the record, GGG will fuck the Frenchy up. However, I maintain that Lemeiux would beat Quillin, who's a bum.
kudos to Lemieux, he seems to has lost his frontrunner mentality. He looked really good in there, he still has noticeable flaws, but he's young enough that he might developped into a legitimate world class threat.
I will say however, I DO wanna see what happens if Frenchy nails GGG with a flush left hook. He'd be the biggest puncher GGG has faced. Fuck that bum Curtis Stevens. Still, I think GGG would almost bomb DL out in a war. But it'd be explosive while it lasts.
Please don't insult Mike's talent like that. Frenchy doesn't have 1/10 of the talent Tyson had. They're nothing alike.
As they Should... GGG's Chin is UNTESTED & LeMeiux can BANG, if NATHAN Else....LeMeiux's a QUICK Starter & he INVESTS In his Power Shots...The 1st 2-3 Rounds of GGG-LeMeiux Would Be VERY Interesting.... REED:shadow:
Agreed. I'm surprised, LeMoo looked much better than I've seen him before, and yeah, not a frontrunner. LeMoo has good power, but you just know his shots would bounce right off Gaybox's cute little cheeks and chin.
That would be a terrible move by Lemieux management. He looked good vs Rosado, but he's absolutely not ready to face a monster like GGG, he needs a lot more seasoning to be even competitive with Golovkin.
Problem is, Lemeiux's chin is already proven to be not the best. GGG definitely has a SOLID chin. He's ALREADY proven that. If Lemeiux jumps him from the opening bell, yeah, it'd be explosive while it lasts, but it'd end with Lemeiux getting banged out quicker.
I wouldn't put it past DL to hurt GGG though. DL can hurt ANYBODY he catches flush with that hook. I just see Golov hurting him a lot more. GGG's hook is FAR shorter, and more compact, and will get there first.
Lemieux's CONDITIONING Failed Him in his Lone KO Loss, NOT His Chin....& When EXACTLY Did GGG Prove to Have this "Solid" Chin you Speak Of??... Say What You Will about Lemieux, but GGG has YET to Face a Guy that Not Only Punches that Hard, but is Also COMMITTED To Introducing his Power to his Opponent, the Way Lemieux Is...GGG Could Very Well SPLATTER Lemieux in a Single Round, but it'd Be an XPLOSIVE Ass Round, No Pun Intended... This is a Fan Friendly Fight That Would REVEAL a Bit More about GGG than we Know @ the Moment... REED:shadow:
disagREED... Lemieux LOST to Rubio & Alcine, for Fucks Sake...There's NO Guarantee He WON'T Lose his Next Fight, Against a Lesser Opponent than GGG...If the GGG Fight Presents Itself & Lemieux ISN'T Taking it Up the Ass @ the Negotiating Table, he Should Jump On the Opportunity...Getting KO'ed by GGG Wouldn't Hurt Lemieux's Stock @ All... It's Really a NO LOSE Situation For Him...He's Going to Be a MASSIVE Underdog Anyways & REED Doesn't See Lemieux IMPROVING All that Much...He Seems MENTALLY Stronger & Better PREPARED to Go 12 Rounds, but it's Not like he FIGHTS Any Differently... REED:mj:
Yeah, I'd like to see the match up too. And i agree, Lemeiux's in his prime right now. I just think he gets slaughtered. I'd honestly rather see him fight Canelo, as I think DL can beat the Ginger.
GGG is clearly overrated and over paid. I am thankful Reed is here to steer us all in the right direction regarding this hype-job
Just watched the fight. I was impressed with the way Lemieux cut off the ring and especially worked the body. He was more patient than I recall him being in the past. He still loads up too much and concentrates on what he wants to accomplish offensively without much regard to what his opponent is doing. DL of a few years may have lost to Rosado. Overall he has improved and it was an impressive performance. Not near enough to make me think he has a good chance against Golovkin though. If I'm Lemieux's manager it's not a fight I'm chasing yet.
Because GGG doesn't bring in Mayweather/De La Hoya money or anywhere close. Like you said, Lemieux is in his prime. Why not work on getting better and improving his chances of actually winning that fight.
Because He Could LOSE to Lesser Guys and/or Old Jr. Middles (Rubio, Alcine Caliber, for Example) in the Meantime... REED
