This aint based on resume so much as current potential. i will assume williams and martinez are at 160 in the future. spinks-old now but if he can turn back the clock who knows cintron- i think that he is reaching his prime and is a force at lmw dzindurk(sp)-unbeaten and has a win over the love child foreman-zero power but decent stamina cotto-lost twice but who legitamately? expect a beast come fight night I think cotto will be the man at 154
Williams by a mile. How the **** did you not include him? He has never fought at 160 so why not include him.
Paul Williams. All indications are that Pavlik will excercize the rematch clause with Martinez. I think Martinez will drop back down to 154 afterward regardless of the outcome. We'll see Williams/Martnez II, and Williams will win again.
Williams/Martinez at 160 would be fine with me. I just don't want to see the lineage fall apart. Middleweight is one of the few divisions where the champ has a direct and easily traceable lineage back to all 4 major titles.
Personally I do not think 154 has much going for it right now. Other than Williams-Martinez there isn't much there. Angulo is to green, Cintron belongs at 147, Spinks is past it, Foreman doesn't impress me, Cotto is to small, Dzinzurik is doing God knows what, Kirkland probably can't make the weight, and so on. If Pavlik can still make 160, the Williams, Martinez, Pavlik triangle could take a couple years to truly sort out. I can't see the future, but in my opinion a series of fights between those 3 could restore the status of the division.
