Official fight thread for GGG vs Lemieux: Oct 17 HBO PPV

[Black_Jesus]

Can someone explain how porter/Broner the best figting the best?? ? Neither one of these guys are the best of anything.. It was a pointless fight.. only showed how retarded Broner is for thinking he can beat any halfway tough opponent above 140 when he still has yet to beat a top dude at 140? nikka got his ass whooped again for no reason other than stupidity..

And I absolutely would've preferred to see Garcia vs an undefeated Postol over Garcia vs LM leftovers at a 143 catchweight.. or at leat a rematch vs Herrera, but claming he couldn't make the weight anymore was any easy way for him to duck so we just had to accept it

I was told that was boring when Broner did exactly that to Molina in March

GGG does it to Lemieux, and now it's beautiful boxing

The commentators were like last night

Well HBO got a lot invested in GGG and Kovalev at this point, they trying to create that hype for the next generation for them being HBO fighters. Good thing The GOAT RJJ is there and stays neutral most of the time during these fights.

Why u giving Black_Moses so much attention ? Stop quoting and replying to him tbh. That's what I did. Dude basically has no argument and no case but he will definitely argue. His hypotheses are the worst. Floyd wouldn't be able to beat Margarito. Danny ducked Postol and fought Peterson. Swear to you he dint know who Postol was 2 months ago. It was all about Danny ducking Mathysse a rematch.

I swear dude is definitely that one guy in your crew you wish would shut the he'll up but he keeps talking

What job ? GGG should have been DQ last night for that intentional punch. People have issues with some fighters get hyped but GGG getting overhyped is him doing his job. Big drama show was looking stiff in there and shook to trade. He jabbed all night lol.

You and @patscorpio hated on Floyd v Bert but you want me to close my eyes on GGG Lemieux ? Lemieux was a least favorite than Berto was but hey big drama show. He didn't dance and running. Like Floyd right

Point taken away, yes. I was always against RJJ getting DQ'd. Take a point or two let the guy recover. Neither was done maliciously IMO.

Other than that people's opinion tend to be double standards. He fights "Mexican style" and people criticize his boxing skills. He uses boxing skills to completely neutralize Lemieux's only chance of winning and he gets criticized. Haters gonna hate.

@Newzz had a point with the Broner fight. Broner did what he needed to do to beat Molina. People wanted more engaging, which only would have benefited Molina.

And people are going overboard with the Mayweather-Berto comparisons. It completely ignores the real situation. Action fighters tend to be more interesting to casuals than classic boxers. Just how it is. When fights get made between two action fighters it is always hyped more than a boxing lesson. We have to remember that most of us here as hardcore fans are different than the general public, we appreciate the nuances. I love watching Floyd, Rigo, or Ward show off their skills. But the casuals will always prefer Rios-Alvarado.

GGG is just that guy who people love to hate right now. People upset it was PPV...but it is about gauging GGG's star power to see if they can do PPV fights in the future. It wasn't about the fight being a true PPV event.
People criticize his opponents, yet there isn't a single match at 160 he hasn't made that was available.
They say he can't beat Ward...well now with Floyd retired, Ward is my #1 PFP fighter. I have always said I would favor Ward. So the #1 PFP fighter who is a whole weight class above is the guy who people think will take down GGG...okay...that is just saying how good GGG is when that is their calling card.
Add in that GGG beats down his opponents or proves he can box them and gets criticized, yet we have other fighters that can't do either as well, but somehow get viewed as more skilled.
