David Lemieux exclusive: I’ll beat Gennady Golovkin

The middleweight division is deep with talent. Yourself and โ€˜GGGโ€™ aside, who do you think is the best at 160lbs today?
There are a lot of good middleweights out there. It has always been a deep division in talent. This is why the middleweight division has always been a division with so much prestige. The winner of this fight, yes, he will definitely deserve the distinction of being the best in the world. That will be me. I am super excited to be fighting at Madison Square Garden for the first time, because when you look at the history of the fights [that have taken place there] it is a privilege and an honour to be a part of that. Itโ€™s also an honour that this fight is being compared to the great [Marvin] Hagler-[Thomas] Hearns fight. But Iโ€™m not just going to New York to fight Golovkin, Iโ€™m going there to beat him. For those people who make me the underdog, they better get ready because on October 17 I will shock the world.
