Yeah he is going to take him apart which ever way possible on he night.

It is a compliment to GGG that he is fighting a world champion in a unification title fight and knowledgeable boxing fans like yourself are calling it a mismatch. It is also testament to GGG that literally there is no other middleweight out there is given a chance to beat him. That's real. Kudos for giving credit to GGG, @jon09
Re: The most explosive fight in years - Golovkin v Lemieux
The other question is which makes this more interesting: IS this one of the best GGG has faced as yet? That question works both ways,this one isnt a bum. I still see him as being eventually on two knees holding his side though.

What GGG said resonated with me, something along the lines of "Do you want to see a dance, or a fight?". Lemieux has that power to change the fight with a single punch or quick 2 punch combo, and GGG has that Predator style walk you down method that's scary.
Two old school fighters. It's gonna be beautiful ;D
I am hoping you are right!

That trinket does not make you a world champion. Not that long ago Lemieux was not even rated. If he ever steps in the ring with Lee, Quillin or Cotto and Alvarez winner then I will give credit where credit is due.

GGG will catch him with uppercuts. Ive been studying Lemieux----- he is WIDE OPEN for the uppercut.
Re: The most explosive fight in years - Golovkin v Lemieux
Coming from Montreal, I've seen Lemieux fight countless time and a few sparring here and here as well. Even though I have to root for him, in my opinion, he'll get meat grinded by GGG; Sure, he has an anvil in both hands and enough power to knock out the human wrecking ball. He has enough of that. But that's his only advantage; Golovkin is much faster and technical and Lemieux often goes for the "big finisher", which people can see coming from Alaska if they pay just a little attention. GGG will take opportunity over that to slowly maul Lemieux.
GGG in 7.
THUS SAID, that can'T be a boring fight. These two will come at each others and it has the raw potential to be the fight of the year. IT could well be and no matter how it ends for Lemieux, he has all my respect for taking this fight where most people are trying to avoid Gennady.

Good odds? No one gives Lemieux a chance so my odds are really terrible.
I'm in it for the glory.
GGG is the most boring fighter I've seen. I don't know why you all have hard-ons for him.

He reminds me of Vic the dick or whatever his name is... the Armenian boxer that got stopped by Donaire. The way he stalks and takes ages to get his right hand off. He'll walk right into a right hook.
