One of the best Middleweights of all time and had one of the strongest chins in boxing history. Guy was perfect for the sport, always super humble and respectful and always gave his fans a good show!
This was a very special fighter. A high level of technical skill, a brutally strong man with power in both hands, a granite chin and a come forward dominating style that made him so enjoyable to watch, and all the time, a gentleman outside of the ring. Much missed.
he was avoided by most fighters, scared to lose. watch the video with the volume up next time. way too obvious you don't follow boxing very well or you would know this. and he's a bum by losing to one of the best fighters in this weight class ? this didn't happen that long ago either so there's no reason you are clueless about that.@@kevinorellanaable
@@sicfrynut that was a false narrative that sheep like you always repeat. Ggg avoided moving up or down in weight. Avoided ward. 160 was weak before canelo got there. Nobody significant was avoiding ggg. Gggs resume is trash. You clearly don't understand boxing. You're a casual that gets fooled by knockouts
Golovkon is a true champ. Humble, respectful, non-flamboyant & not cocky. I can’t stand cocky fighters like Mayweather, Broner & Clarissa Shields. Their arrogance impels me to cheer against them
Because it works. It makes them famous. Their names were brought up even when some are retired. Some paid money and hope to see these guys get crushed LOL..
He hooks and jabs with his left so well, with great power. His opponents were not able to defend the lefts. Then GGG would combo and completely catch them flatfooted
On behalf of all Canadians, I apologize for Lemieux’s haircut. Sometimes if you fall asleep in the woods a randy moose will lick your head clean. Clearly, Lemieux woke up 2/3 of the way through that process. Sorry.
That hairstyle was a problem for Lemieux. Every time Golovkin landed a jab Lemieux's hair flew around, accentuating the power he was being hit with, which has to have an effect on the judges scoring the fight.
You can see this commonality in all great fighters. Concentration. To consistently succeed at a high level one must, always, maintain focus and remain calm. One mistake, one let down of any kind against top caliber fighters will cost you the match.
Being a soldier and stepping forward is rarely a good policy when you are being knocked back all of the time, Lemiux is a brave fighter and GGG is a technical boxer, both have great punching power but that only comes into effect when the punch lands.
@@TheShonuff888 no. Duran was. it’s easy to be good in a Bubble. But step on other weights and beat people there too is much more harder. And the really great ones have done that.
My compatriot David Lemieux has all the courage in the world, and formidable power, but everything was going too fast for him that night. There are many levels in boxing, and Golovkin was many levels ahead of David. With that said, the title is a tad misleading. Lemieux never taunted Golovkin or disrespected him. He knew the task in front of him was colossal
From what I saw and heard, there was no disrespect, or intentions of it. The title of this video was embellished for clickbait. I had never seen or heard of either fighter, I just ran across this video. The Canadian put up a good fight. He just needs a little more time and to acquire a little more speed and experience, from the best I could tell. Golovkin already had all of that, and knew what he was doing.
I agree with you, phazonclash - I didn't see any unpleasantness from David Lemieux. Some of the commentary was a bit silly, claiming the Canadian was about to collapse while he was actually taking the fight to GGG (who was a brilliant boxer). It's not surprising many boxers avoided him. Credit to David for taking on the challenge! Regards from Blighty :).
The title is pure clickbait, like many others on TH-cam these days (I wish TH-cam would do something about them). Lemieux never taunted Golovkin at all, in fact he was very respectful even though totally outclassed. I applaud him.
GGG won two of the three fights with Canelo. I have boxed and watched boxing for over 60 years and nobody can convince me Canelo won two of those fights. Canelo knows it and so does GGG.
No argument just saying since he was in America should have known not let it go to the judges and knock him out like everyone else.... Oh wait he couldn't even with best shot on both side so a draw not on points but on hard power punches landed without a knock down or knock out just have to give them both credit
@@tommyh500 He's not terrible at all, having a successful boxing career prior to this fight, and accepting this fight unlike a bunch of other fighters. He lost this bout but that does not make him a terrible fighter.
@@kidslovesatan34 he’s awful. No footwork, poor shot selection, zero timing, zero boxing IQ. He did well despite his lack of skill but ultimately his power carried him through. Watch the BJS fight. He looked like he was boxing for the first time
The title of this video is a pile of hooey. Lemieux knew exactly what he was in for. He lacked the confidence to deliver his powerful punches. GGG was too much boxer for him BUT it was a tremendous learning opp for Lemieux, for sure. He has nothing to be ashamed of.
GGG: " Everybody talk too much, everyday, everytime. My plan - just box." Although I cannot remember where I watched him saying that. Great battle by real warriors. They deserved such a great ref.
The worst ones are the ‘Morgan Freeman Voice of Misinformation and Lies’ and that sickening, old, sentimental, Werther’s fucking Originals, ‘American Grandpa Voice of Excessive Patriotism’ ! I’m not sure which of those two I hate more! 😂
Triple G was calm, collected and relatively gentle in this fight, compared to the devastation he's capable of meting out to his opponents. The man is out to win the match, not hurt his opponent. Canadians are seldom, if ever, outstanding in brutal sports. They grow up in such gentle and coddled environment that it's just not in their nature.
Lot of respect for fighters from the obscure parts of Russia - GGG, that crazy kung-fu master Magomedsharipov, and of course Khabib Nurmagomedov. I'm not sure about GGG but the other two definitely don't drink and they all have this zen-like calm that suggests any trashtalking will be met with bad karma. In a world of disrespectful popinjays like McGregor and Muhammad Ali its refreshing to see people with true warrior-philosopher mindsets succeed.
Muhammad Ali was classy in his verbal pre-fight engagements. All his opponents respected him sooner or later. You can't compare him with McGregor in this way.
David Lemieux did surprisingly well against GGG who was a master boxer. It was sad to see David take so many shots and much respect to him for persevering. Regards from Blighty :).
Thanks for posting. Can't believe the Canadian fighter lasted into the 8th. It was finished in the 3rd. Love TH-cam. Get to watch some older fights. GGG & Calzaghe just amaze.

Where was the taunt? Surely it wasn't the part where he said "if I hit him with one of those shots, he'll go down"? That's not a taunt. It's just confidence, however misplaced.
I've never followed fighters, or any celebs, so I don't know names. I'm glad I came across this vid, as I do recognise a good honest fight when I see it.
I had to watch this twice 😮 i missed most of it first time because i couldn’t help getting distracted by the Canadian fellas hair flying around every time he got chinned ..
Lemieux had flaws but no one can say he wasnt tough or he had no heart . Lost only by decisions or corner stoppage and only lost to champions or former champions. If only he could make 160 he would not have retire so early . I beleive he would ko Jake Paul in the first round so i can only imagine what Tyson will do to jake . Ggg also would destroy jake in a few round
No matter how bad you were, by the time you got your feet under you, GGG had already jabbed and liver punched 50% of you ability into oblivion. A machine and a gentlemen. GGG was a joy to watch.
You can hear the reporter say "I don't think he even has a plan"--which made me recall Tyson, who said "hey, everybody has a plan..until they get hit in the face"

Are you talking about me?
Nigga shut up@@bamzyus6765
100% true, still a lot of haters though
golovkins style is poetry in motion
Golovkin is/was the epitome of a skilled boxer. He is perfection.
Skilled?, no way, he us a tough club fighter, not that skilled at all.
He fought bums
@@rebelarchangel1589 He beat Canelo. Canelo trained for power in his first fight and couldn't knock him out.
Not that much skill and his record was padded. His only quality win was jacobs and he barely won that fight. Very overrated
@@kevinorellanaableHe was the most avoided fighter in his prime and beat canelo in his first fight and arguably the second.
This was a very special fighter. A high level of technical skill, a brutally strong man with power in both hands, a granite chin and a come forward dominating style that made him so enjoyable to watch, and all the time, a gentleman outside of the ring.
Much missed.
Absolutely and very professional on top of all the hard work and talent.
No he wasn't. He fought nothing but small journeymen with no power. See how scared he was to let his right hand go against canelo
he was avoided by most fighters, scared to lose. watch the video with the volume up next time. way too obvious you don't follow boxing very well or you would know this. and he's a bum by losing to one of the best fighters in this weight class ? this didn't happen that long ago either so there's no reason you are clueless about that.@@kevinorellanaable
Agree. Trple GGG is a power machine in the ring and a gentleman outside, his performance against Lemiex was devastating.
@@sicfrynut that was a false narrative that sheep like you always repeat. Ggg avoided moving up or down in weight. Avoided ward. 160 was weak before canelo got there.

It's a black thing
You forgot the arrogant Canelo
Because it works. It makes them famous. Their names were brought up even when some are retired. Some paid money and hope to see these guys get crushed LOL..
The way triple G operates behind the jab is amazing.
He hooks and jabs with his left so well, with great power. His opponents were not able to defend the lefts. Then GGG would combo and completely catch them flatfooted
That's why he's called the triple G
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the liver
That liver hit was his trade mark.
Thing about that punch, he comes wide around from the side, leaning, and still able to deliver enough blunt force trauma to cripple the opponent.
Absolutely agreed!
Golovkin was such a shark. Literally hunt you down 😨
BIG RESPECT👍 Lemieux took his beating like a man👊
Lol
someone explain to me what taking a beating like a man truly means!
as the round goes on especially after that liver blow, i gotta give him that respect for that tenacity! But overall GGG is a better fighter.
hahahahah. Did he have a choice?
That haircut had him whipped from the get go 😂😂
Golovkin has power in such seemingly casual punches. Just tosses out a jab, guys head goes flying back
I actually applaud Lemieux. He stayed in there and fought for his life.
Unfortunately, he looked more like Pepe Lepieux
G.G.G..The most underestimated great ever. Gentleman Ganady Galovkin......🥊🥊🥊
On how many weights did he fought? Oh 1. On one weight with no competition. GGG dis not beat any competitive boxer.
@@mariusmihai1292
You need to learn English........
@@bluemakem459 yeah true English is my forth language, but on the subject you have something to say? Or just an ad hominem?

Haircut aside he fought the good fight.
I think the moose bent him over and drilled him too !
Lmao
Yes, the fact is, a person can't succeed (at anything) with such a bad hairstyle.
This is pure Canadian humor. I love how you guys think. Hilarious!
Lemieux needs to sue his barber.
😅
Oh no looks great in a club getting battered in the ring not so much.
😂😂😂😂😂
That hairstyle was a problem for Lemieux. Every time Golovkin landed a jab Lemieux's hair flew around, accentuating the power he was being hit with, which has to have an effect on the judges scoring the fight.
It was a pleasure watching GGG's championship run.
G man always keeps his cool.

@@drewfife5169its just as much a mind game, as a physical game.
Not wearing a hair style which highlights every time you get hit might be a good start.
Alexander usk would like a word
yeah his corner shouldn't even allow the worst hairstyle for fighting.
That's some funny shit right there 😉
Golovkin made it look like just a walk thru the park....ez peezy lemony squeezee.
Lemiux Is a soldier 😮 kept stepping forward
Being a soldier and stepping forward is rarely a good policy when you are being knocked back all of the time, Lemiux is a brave fighter and GGG is a technical boxer, both have great punching power but that only comes into effect when the punch lands.
That left hand is like a sledgehammer of Golvokin
It was a great time when GGG was fighting, He was really the most complete fighter without being flashy.
Most complete fighter who only fought at one weight all
His life? That’s not the definition of a great fighter.
@@mariusmihai1292 So Hagler wasn’t great?
@@TheShonuff888 no. Duran was. it’s easy to be good in a Bubble. But step on other weights and beat people there too is much more harder. And the really great ones have done that.
@@mariusmihai1292 😂 ok you’re done
Golovkin is just the best.
Best at only fighting tomato cans. Ggg resume is trash
#kevin u sad and maf bcs he beat up tons of yor lookalikes🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
True. What a legend.
GGG was fun to watch, a master technician in the ring with a lot of power.
Both men are excellent athletes.
Skill, courage and above all, absolute class.

What was the summary of Davids career. He looked impressive in defeat here. It looks like both fighters had incredible chins.
nobody wanted to fight when he was in his prime. So tough and yet so humble.
What? On how many weights did GGG fought? 1?
Sorry but there was no competition on his weight.
Gennady was and still is quality he says nothing because he doesn't have too hes just amazing
GGG won two of the three fights with Canelo. I have boxed and watched boxing for over 60 years and nobody can convince me Canelo won two of those fights. Canelo knows it and so does GGG.

It looked like G-man was being kind. What a gent, and a skilled boxer.
One of my favorite boxers for sure, wish more didn’t duck him
Two good boxers who were not afraid to fight.

Damn sure looked like it, I wouldn't pay a barber if he did that to me! We'd be fighting right in that shop!
GGG totally unmarked!
total domination
THE THREE G is an assassin .... a hard punching relentless boxer .... give credit to the Canadian ... he was tough as nails.
The title of this video is a pile of hooey. Lemieux knew exactly what he was in for. He lacked the confidence to deliver his powerful punches. GGG was too much boxer for him BUT it was a tremendous learning opp for Lemieux, for sure. He has nothing to be ashamed of.
He chose the wrong hairstyle for this fight. Every hit, hair flies lol
That power jab of his was brutal. Being constantly peppered with that, round after round, is a one way ticket to the brain clinic.
He gives me Joe Calzaghe vibes. He’s not as flashy but he will smother you with volume and skill, just like Joe.
Pacman vs GGG on press would be so wholesome. No Trash talk, Praising each other and probably hugging and laughing to each others jokes during press
It was those Purple Gloves!!! Nobody fights in purple gloves, OR Pink Tights!!! 😮😊
When a fighter asks his corner to comb his hair between round you know he ain’t there to try 😂
my Favourite boxer of all time.
GGG: " Everybody talk too much, everyday, everytime. My plan - just box." Although I cannot remember where I watched him saying that. Great battle by real warriors. They deserved such a great ref.

Whoever wrote that script should be fired.
IMO this period was when we seen GGG at his peak and for me it rivalled Hagler at his best.
GGG is the most complete boxer I've ever seen. His greatness is way underrated.
I felt that liver punch. Ugh!
Геннадий легендарный боксер.
That was like a man fighting a boy, totally different class ggg
Love his fights he’s really calm and hard hitting also takes hard punches.
I love watching the referee. He was standing nearby watching every move and was ready to get involved at any moment.
The narration is comical. A glimmer of momentary success. Lol
That’s a lot of punishment.
GGG was a beast. Still say he was robbed against Canelo which I think lessened both men's legacy.
good video. Dislinking it just for the clickbait title: Lemieux never taunted GGG
HUGE respect from Slovenia 👊😎
The haircut 😏

GGG s jab was a power punch
I hate showoffs and braggers. Sports is full of them today. The greats never bragged, Marciano, Mantle, Mays, were all great and humble.
Barry Sanders was another great that was humble!
1:25 thats the killer instinct only few people have.
Where was the taunt? Surely it wasn't the part where he said "if I hit him with one of those shots, he'll go down"? That's not a taunt. It's just confidence, however misplaced.

Golovkin was holding back in that last round.
I've never followed fighters, or any celebs, so I don't know names. I'm glad I came across this vid, as I do recognise a good honest fight when I see it.
Lemieux silly hair makes Golovkins jabs and hits more visible when it flies all over the place! :))
This was a fantastic performance by GGG.
When the rematch all ready
I had to watch this twice 😮 i missed most of it first time because i couldn’t help getting distracted by the Canadian fellas hair flying around every time he got chinned ..
The stiff jab was just too much
Fight sure have not been stoped
kept his good looks a sign of a good boxer he was great tough so tough
Lemieux had flaws but no one can say he wasnt tough or he had no heart . Lost only by decisions or corner stoppage and only lost to champions or former champions. If only he could make 160 he would not have retire so early . I beleive he would ko Jake Paul in the first round so i can only imagine what Tyson will do to jake . Ggg also would destroy jake in a few round
GGG wasn’t even breathing hard. How well conditioned he is. 🥊
No matter how bad you were, by the time you got your feet under you, GGG had already jabbed and liver punched 50% of you ability into oblivion. A machine and a gentlemen. GGG was a joy to watch.
In any fight, those who don't respect their opponent's fight will always face defeat.
THE best middle weight ever.
I love that guy, GGG is one of my all time favorite fighters... Too bad we all get old!
You can hear the reporter say "I don't think he even has a plan"--which made me recall Tyson, who said "hey, everybody has a plan..until they get hit in the face"
I remember ordering this fight on PPV.
All the judges had to do is look at lemieux hair flying every time he got hit.
Why the clickbait photo? The story is good enough
One of the few times that I'm not proud of a countryman.
Proud Canadian.
When a boxer is all talk and can’t prove anything inside the ring, that’s Lemieux for you.
Probably a bad idea for a boxer to have a haircut that flies up 6 inches everytime you get rocked by a jab.
