    Actually Macklin is fighting Barker in 3 weeks and Lee is fighting MAcklin if he wins.

    well to be honbest ive not been following him that much but from what ive seen he just looks like the complete fighter. he hiys hard can bral, can box, throws combos like mike tyson and never fights boring. he's very similar to david lemieux but with better skill. im british so im not biased i just think he and gmaboa are the most talented fighters for the future.
    id love to see korobov fight: paul williams, elysandra lara, daniel jacobs and mostly david lemiuex.
    its a shme because the uk has two good fighters in barker and macklin but im not sure theyll get a sniff against such talented fighters. maybe macklin if he improves under roach.

    I am also excited about the future of the middleweights. There is a lot of potential there perhaps more than any other weight. Potential is no guarantee of success, but if half of those guys live up to theirs the division is going to be among the best in the sport in the near future.

    matthew macklin should fight lee after barker and then challenge a martinez or someone like that. he's a very very good boxer who i feel would give anyone a good fight. just look how he demolished aisikhianan

    Great list, I guess I didn't really realize just how many young up and comers boxing has in that weight class.. Sad to say but a part of me can't wait for Pac, FMJ, Mosley etc to retire so we can concentrate on the young guns..Who will hopefully fight each other.

    care to provide a source for this, me thinks you're wrong. he just had surgery and is getting back into things. should be fighting fairly soon.

    This plus Jacobs and Pirog just happened. Golovkin has a WBA belt and i think N'jikam is a mandatory. Pirog wants guys like Martinez and Pavlik. Things are happening.
