By Dan Ambrose: It’s generally understood by all that IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) is the underdog in his fight against IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) in their unification fight this month on HBO pay-per-view from Madison Square Garden in New York.
Golovkin has the superior experience, punching power, amateur pedigree and talent going into this fight. Golovkin is in the prime of his career; whereas Lemieux is still not quite gotten to the top of his game yet. However, Lemieux’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions expects Lemieux to shock the boxing world with what he brings to the table in this fight on 10/17.

By Allan Fox: Former six division world champion Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KOs) doesn’t believe that Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26 KOs) is “The Best Ever” [TBE] as he likes to say about himself. De La Hoya says there are a lot of better fighters in the past that were superior fighters to Mayweather, who he felt could be TBE. 
By Allan Fox: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya kicked sand in the face of Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26 KOs) last night on his Twitter account for his very boring 12 round unanimous decision win over Andre Berto (30-4, 23 KOs) on Showtime PPV from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya expects his fighter IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) to make quick work of IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) in their unification fight on October 17th at Madison Square Garden in New York. 
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya thinks that the mega-clash between WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (40-4, 33 KOs) and Golden Boy fighter Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (45-1-1, 32 KOs) could wind up bringing in more PPV buys than the September 18th, 1999 fight between De La Hoya and Felix Trinidad. 
By Dan Ambrose: While Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya has said that he wants to put on the fights that the boxing fans want to see, one fight that they might not get a chance to see for a while is a match-up between Golden Boy flagship fighter Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (45-1-1, 32 KOs) and IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs). 
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya says that the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao last May turned off 2.5 million new boxing fans, who he feels will never come back to watch another boxing event due to De La Hoya believing that the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight failed to provide the action and excitement that it was originally billed as potentially supplying. For De La Hoya, it obviously hits him hard if the casual fans don’t come back to watch future pay-per-view fights, because he promotes a lot of fights, and it will be bad if the fan don’t come back.
