By Jim Dower: David Lemieux (37-3, 33 KOs) will be back inside the ring this Saturday night against Marcos Reyes (35-4, 26 KOs), but the targets he has in the near future are Gennady “GGG” Golovkin and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Lemieux will be fighting Reyes, 29, on the undercard of Canelo’s fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fight will be televised on HBO PPV.

By Jeff Aranow: Despite all the talk about middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin being the fight that Saul “Canelo” Alvarez wants this September, Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez says that former IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (37-3, 33 KOs) is still an option for Canelo to fight after his May 6th match with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Lemieux remains one of the strong options for Canelo.
By Dan Ambrose: Former IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (37-3, 33 KOs( could put himself in position to fight Saul “Canelo” Alvarez on September 16 if he beats Marcos Reyes on May 6 on the undercard of the Canelo vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. card on HBO pay-per-view. Lemieux would be the Plan-B for Canelo if a fight against Gennady “GGG” Golovkin doesn’t get made. Lemieux isn’t the only option that Golden Boy has for Canelo to fight in September besides GGG. There’s also a very real possibility of a rematch against Chavez Jr.

By Jeff Aranow: Daniel Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) is a highly talented fighter with explosive punching power, but he won’t beat IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) this Saturday night in their fight, says former IBF 160lb. champion David Lemieux. He does not see Jacobs being able to do the job on the powerful Golovkin.
By Jeff Aranow: David Lemieux’s impressive 3rd round knockout of Curtis Stevens last Saturday might make it more difficiult for him to get a big fight against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Lemieux (37-3, 33 KOs) mentioned wanting to take a fight against the 26-year-old Canelo (48-1-1, 34 KOs) before he faces IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin in a rematch to avenge his loss to him from 2015.
By Dan Ambrose: David Lemieux (37-3, 33 KOs) showed that he still has enormous power last Saturday night in taking out Curtis Stevens (29-6, 21 KOs) in 3 rounds, and he’s now interested in facing Saul “Canelo” Alvarez before a rematch against Gennady Golovkin. Lemieux might have a difficult time getting the fight against Canelo in 2017, because he’s already scheduled to fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on May 6.
