Lemieux, 26, thinks his big punching power will be too much for Golovkin to handle in this fight. While Lemieux has a lot of respect for Golovkin’s own punching power, he suspects that he’ll be able to get to the Kazakhstan fighter with his own big shots before he can get to him.

Mayweather recently said that with him gone from the sport that he feels that Manny Pacquiao is now the No.1 fighter that takes his place. Mayweather didn’t mention Golovkin at all. But perhaps Mayweather had a reason for not saying Golovkin’s name.

Image: Roman Gonzalez surpasses Golovkin in P4P pollBy Dan Ambrose: IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) not only has been passed up by WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward in Ring Magazine’s official pound-for-pound ratings, but he’s also been beaten out by Roman Gonzalez (43-0, 37 KOs) in a poll conducted by the website. Golovkin is at No.2 in the poll with 25.70 percent of the votes compared to Gonzalez’s 56.44 percent.

Golovkin’s rating at No.2 is obviously a product of his lack of quality opposition he’s been facing. The boxing fans want to see Golovkin step up and face quality opposition. The fans are partly getting their wish with Golovkin’s fight against IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux next month on 10/17.
